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 informati\
on to be sent 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 p\
assenger compartment. When the engine
is running, close the windows and moonroof and use the recirculation fun\
ction for several minutes to enable the
air conditioning to cool the compartment as quickly as possible.

Electronic climate control (ECC)
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), air conditioning, and
optional air quality sensor are controlled. If you prefer to manually set any of these functions, the remaining
functions will still be controlled automatically. Pressing the AUTO butt\
on 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 functio\
n is engaged. See
page 61 for additional
information on this function.
Never use ice scrapers made of metal as they can easily scratch the mirr\
or 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.

system will recirculate the air in the passenger compartment until the r\
ecirculation button is pressed 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 multi-filter and air quality sensor. T\
he 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 re\
circulated, i.e. no outside air enters the
vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger compartment air. \
When the ECC system is in the AUTO mode, the green LED will be on
.
Operation
Press
to operate the air quality sensor (normal setting).
or:
Select one of the following three functions by pressing
1, 2 or 3 times.
1. The AUT LED lights. The air quality sensor is now activated.
2. No LED lights. Recirculation is not activated unless needed to cool t\
he passenger compartment in a warm
climate.
3. The MAN LED lights. Recirculation is now activated.
Keep in mind the following:
l Make it a rule to have the air quality sensor activated at all times.
l Recirculation is limited in cold climates to avoid fogging.
l If window fogging occurs, you should deactivate the air quality sensor. \
l If fogging occurs, use the defroster functions for the windshield, side \
windows and rear window. See page 80.
l The filter should be changed at the intervals recommended in the service\
schedule. However, if the vehicle is
used in a severely contaminated environment, it may be necessary to chan\
ge the filter more frequently.
