Climate control system-general information
Condensation on the inside of the windows
Keeping the insides of the windows clean will help reduce the amount of \
condensation that forms on the windows. Use a
commercial window cleaning agent to clean the windows.
Ice and snow
Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of \
snow.
Cabin air filter
Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals\
. Please refer to your Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet, or consult your Volvo retailer for these in\
tervals. The filter should be replaced more often
when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be clea\
ned and therefore should always be replaced with a
new one.
Sensors
The sunlight sensor on the dashboard and passenger compartment temperatu\
re sensor in the ECC control panel should not
be covered in any way as this could cause incorrect information to be se\
nt to the ECC system.
Parking the vehicle in warm weather
If your vehicle has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the \
windows and moonroof (option) for several
minutes before driving will help release the warm air from the passenger\
compartment. When the engine is running, close
the windows and moonroof and use the recirculation function for several \
minutes to enable the air conditioning to cool the
compartment as quickly as possible.
Windows and optional moonroof
The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional moonroof a\
re closed. If you drive with the moonroof open,
we recommend that you manually adjust the temperature and blower control\
(the LED in the AUTO switch should be off).

Oil viscosity (stable ambient temperatures)
Operation in temperate climates
Incorrect viscosity oil can shorten engine life. Under normal use when t\
emperatures do not exceed 86° F
(30° C), SAE 5W-30 will provide good fuel economy and engine protec\
tion. See the viscosity chart
above.
Extreme engine operation
Synthetic oils meeting SAE 10W-30 and complying with oil quality require\
ments are recommended for
driving in areas of sustained temperature extremes (hot or cold), when\
towing a trailer over long
distances, and for prolonged driving in mountainous areas.
Changing oil and oil filter
Oil and oil filter changes should be made at 7,500 mile (12,000 km) in\
tervals.
Volvo does not recommend the use of oil additives.
Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintena\
nce intervals except at
ower request and at additional charge. Please consult your Volvo retaile\
r.
l The API Service Symbol "donut" is divided into three parts:
l The top half describes the oil's performance level.
l The center identifies the oil's viscosity.
l The bottom half tells whether the oil has demonstrated energy-conserving\
properties in a standard test
in comparison to a reference oil.
