his happens, please have your
vehicle checked by a Volvo retailer as soon as possible.
A CHECK ENGINE light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice\
a change in your
vehicle's behavior. Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt fuel ec\
onomy, emission cleanliness, and
driveability. Extended driving without correcting the cause could even d\
amage other components in

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.
