WARNING!
l Never open/close the moonroof if it is obstructed in any way when in ope\
ration.
l Never allow a child to operate the moonroof.
l Never extend any object or body part though the open moonroof, even if t\
he vehicle's ignition is
completely switched off.
l Never leave a child alone in a vehicle.
* A position where the moonroof is not quite fully open, which helps all\
eviate "rumbling" wind noise.
pg. 48 Instruments and controls
If the moonroof is obstructed during auto-close operation, it will autom\
atically reverse direction and
return to its starting position. If the moonroof is repeatedly obstructe\
d during auto-close operation, an
overload circuit breaker will temporarily halt moonroof function. The mo\
onroof will return to normal
function after a brief cool-down period.

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 intervals. The filter should be
replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The f\
ilter cannot be cleaned 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 inf\
ormation to be sent to the ECC
system.
Parking the vehicle in warm weather

several minutes before driving will help release the warm air from the p\
assenger compartment. When the
engine is running, close the windows and moonroof and use the recirculat\
ion function for several minutes to
enable the air conditioning to cool the compartment as quickly as possib\
le.
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).
Acceleration
The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acce\
leration.
Climate control maintenance
All maintenance on the climate control systems should be carried out by \
an authorized Volvo service
technician only.
Refrigerant
Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your v\
ehicle contains a CFC-free
refrigerant - R134a (HFC134a). This substance will not deplete the ozo\
ne layer. The system contains 2.2 lbs
(1000 g) R134a and uses PAG oil.
Passenger compartment blower
Approximately 50 minutes after the ignition is turned off, the blower ma\
y come on automatically, and run
for seven minutes, to remove condensation in the A/C evaporator.
Blower function to reduce battery drain
The climate system's blower functions normally while the engine is runni\
ng.
However, when the engine is switched off (even if the ignition is switc\
hed to positions I or II), the blower
control will be automatically switched off to avoid unnecessary battery \
drain.
The following points pertain if the ignition key is on but the engine is not running:
l To restart the blower, turn the control knob to the setting of your choi\
ce.
l After approximately 2 minutes, the blower speed will be reduced to avoid\
battery drain.
You can reset the blower speed at any time. Please be aware that the sys\
tem has been designed to reduce the
blower's speed again after 2 minutes, until the engine is started. If th\
e battery becomes drained:
l LOW BATTERY, FAN IS REDUCED will be displayed in the text window in the \
instrument panel.
l The yellow warning light in the instrument panel (see page 27) will also light up.

AUTO
This function automatically regulates the Electronic Climate Control sys\
tem so that the selected
temperatures are maintained. The blower, heating, air distribution (air\
flow) and air conditioning are
controlled.
If you prefer to manually set any of these functions, the remaining func\
tions will still be controlled
automatically. Pressing the AUTO button overrides any settings that were\
previously made manually.
Rear window and sideview mirror defrosters
This function defrosts/de-ices the rear window and sideview mirrors. The\
LED in the switch will light up to
indicate that the heating function is engaged. See
page 38 for additional information on this function.
Never use ice scrapers made of metal as the can easily scratch the mirro\
r surface.

Temperature
These controls are used to individually set the temperature for both sid\
es of the passenger compartment.
Please note that the compartment will not be heated or cooled faster by \
setting the temperature higher or
lower than necessary.
Set the control to the temperature you prefer.
Defroster
This function defrosts/de-ices the windshield and front side windows. Th\
e LED in the switch will light up to
indicate that the defrost function is engaged. Blower speed increases au\
tomatically and the air in the
passenger compartment is dehumidified. Recirculation will not function w\
hile defrost is engaged.
Blower control*
Turn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease t\
he blower speed. Pressing the
AUTO switch will automatically regulate blower speed and override manual\
adjustment.
NOTE: Turning the blower control counterclockwise until an orange LED comes on\
will turn both the
blower and the air conditioning off.

engaged.
l Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases,\
smoke, etc or to heat/cool the
vehicle quickly.
l Recirculation should not be used for more than 15 minutes. If your windows begin to fog or mist, make
sure that the recirculation function is switched off.
l Selecting Defroster automatically switches recirculation off.
l Timer mode activation: (Vehicles equipped with the Interior Air Quality System have no timer m\
ode)
Press and hold the recirculation button for at least 3 seconds to activa\
te a recirculation timer mode. The
amber LED in the recirculation button will flash 5 times to show that th\
e timer mode is being activated. In
timer mode, each time the recirculation button is pressed, the climate c\
ontrol system will recirculate the air
in the passenger compartment for 5-12 minutes, depending on the outside \
air temperature, and then revert
back to fresh air.
l Timer mode deactivation: Press and hold the recirculation button for 3 s\
econds. The amber LED in the
recirculation button will illuminate steadily for 5 seconds to show a re\
turn to "normal" mode.
pg. 55 Climate control

l In normal mode, when the recirculation button is pressed, the climate co\
ntrol system will recirculate the
air in the passenger compartment until the recirculation button is press\
ed again.
l Timer mode memory: If the vehicle is turned off while timer mode is acti\
ve, timer mode will still be
active when the vehicle is restarted.

Interior Air Quality sensor (option)
Some vehicles are equipped with a multifilter and air quality sensor. Th\
e filter separates gases and particles,
thereby reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the vehi\
cle. The air quality sensor detects
increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the air qualit\
y sensor detects contaminated outside
air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment \
is recirculated, i.e. no outside air
enters the vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger compar\
tment air.
When the ECC system is in the AUTO mode, the green LED will be on
.
