Condensation on the inside of the windows
Keeping the insides of the windows clean will help reduce the amount of condensation thatforms on the windows. Use a commercialwindow 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 toyour Warranty and Service Records Informa-tion booklet, or consult a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician for these intervals.The filter should be replaced more often whendriving under dirty and dusty conditions. Thefilter cannot be cleaned and therefore shouldalways be replaced with a new one.
Sensors
The sunlight sensor on the dashboard and passenger compartment temperature sensorin the ECC control panel should not be cov-ered in any way as this could cause incorrectinformation 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 andmoonroof* for several minutes before drivingwill help release the warm air from the pas-senger compartment. When the engine is run-ning, close the windows and moonroof anduse the recirculation function for severalminutes to enable the air conditioning to coolthe compartment as quickly as possible.
Windows and optional moonroof
The ECC system will function best if the win- dows and optional moonroof are closed. Ifyou drive with the moonroof open, we recom-mend that you manually adjust the tempera-ture and blower control (the LED in the AUTO
switch should be off).
Acceleration
The air conditioning is momentarily disen- gaged during full-throttle acceleration.
Climate control maintenance
Special tools and equipment are required to maintain and carry out repairs on the climatesystem. Work of this type should only bedone by a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
Refrigerant
Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your vehicle containsa CFC-free refrigerant – R134a (HFC134a).This substance will not deplete the ozonelayer. The approximate amount of R134acontained in the system is a follows: 6-cylinder engine Single A/C system: 1.5 lbs (700 g) Dual 1
A/C system: 2.2 lbs (1000 g)
The system also uses PAG oil.

Climate system blower
The climate system blower will be automati- cally switched off when the engine is not run-ning (even if the ignition key is in position I or
II ) to avoid unnecessary battery drain. To
activate the blower, turn the control to thedesired setting. The climate system blower may start auto- matically during a period of up to approxi-mately 50 minutes after the ignition has beenturned off to remove condensation in the A/Cevaporator. It will run for 15 minutes andswitch off automatically.
Passenger compartment blower
Approximately 50 minutes after the ignition is turned off, the blower may come on automati-cally, and run for seven minutes, to removecondensation in the A/C evaporator.
Blower function to reduce battery drain
The climate system's blower functions nor- mally while the engine is running. However, when the engine is switched off (even if the ignition is switched to positions I
or II), the blower control will be automatically
switched off to avoid unnecessary batterydrain. The following points pertain if the ignition ison but the engine in not running:
• To restart the blower, turn the control knob to the setting of your choice.
• After approximately 2 minutes, the blowerspeed will be reduced to avoid batterydrain.
You can reset the blower speed at any time. Please be aware that the system has beendesigned to reduce the blower's speed againafter 2 minutes, until the engine is started. If the battery becomes drained: • LOW BATTERY, FAN IS REDUCED
will
be displayed in the text window in the instrument panel.
• The yellow warning light in the instrumentpanel (see page 58) will also light up.

Key blades
Your vehicle is equipped with two coded remote key transmitters with integrated igni-tion key blades called Key Integrated Remote(KIR). To unlock/lock the vehicle using the key blade:
1. If necessary, press button (1) to fold outthe key blade.
2. Insert the key blade in the driver's door lock and turn it once to unlock the driv-
er's door only .
3. Turn the key blade again (within 10 sec- onds) to unlock all doors and the tailgate. 4. Turn the key blade once in the opposite
direction to lock all doors and the tailgate.
Use the switch on the driver's door armrest to lock/unlock the vehicle from the inside.
WARNING
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to the occupantsof the vehicle in the event of an accident.(Also see information on "Child safetylocks".)
NOTE
To help prevent accidentally locking the keys in the vehicle, the central locking sys-tem is designed to unlock the doors imme-diately if the key is left in the ignitionswitch, the vehicle is locked using the lockbutton on the door and the door is thenclosed. A sound from the lock will be audi-ble at this time. Please note that this function will not unlock the doors if the engine is running.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle contains a coded transmitter. The code in thekey is transmitted to an antenna in the igni-tion switch where it is compared to the code stored in the start inhibitor module. The vehi-cle will start only with a properly coded key. Each key has a unique code, which your Volvo retailer uses if new keys are required. Amaximum of six remote keys can be pro-grammed and used for one vehicle. If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retailer for reprogram-ming as an antitheft measure. If two of the keys to your vehicle are close together, e.g., on the same key ring, whenyou try to start the vehicle, this could causeinterference in the immobilizer system andresult in the vehicle not starting. If this shouldoccur, remove one of the keys from the keyring before trying to start the vehicle again.

Engine oil
Although some oil consumption occurs dur- ing normal engine operation, more oil is con-sumed when the engine is new as the internalparts generate higher friction while wearing-into each other. From the time the engine isnew until the first maintenance is performed,the oil consumption could be higher than nor-mal. For this reason, it is especially importantto check the oil regularly during this period,see page 222.
Fuel requirements
Deposit control gasoline (detergent additives)
Volvo recommends the use of detergent gas- oline to control engine deposits. Detergentgasoline is effective in keeping injectors andintake valves clean. Consistent use of depositcontrol gasolines will help ensure good driva-bility and fuel economy. If you are not surewhether the gasoline contains deposit controladditives, check with the service station oper-ator.
NOTE
Volvo does not recommend the use of external fuel injector cleaning systems.
Unleaded fuelEach Volvo has a three-way catalytic con- verter and must use only unleaded gasoline.U.S. and Canadian regulations require thatpumps delivering unleaded gasoline be label-led "UNLEADED". Only these pumps havenozzles which fit your vehicle's filler inlet. It isunlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehiclelabelled "unleaded gasoline only". Leadedgasoline damages the three-way catalyticconverter and the heated oxygen sensor sys-tem. Repeated use of leaded gasoline willlessen the effectiveness of the emission con-trol system and could result in loss of emis-sion warranty coverage. State and local vehi-cle inspection programs will make detectionof misfueling easier, possibly resulting inemission test failure for misfueled vehicles.
NOTE
Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines con- tain an octane enhancing additive calledmethyl-cyclopentadienyl manganese tri-carbonyl (MMT). If such fuels are used,your Emission Control System perform-ance may be affected, and the CheckEngine Light (malfunction indicator lamp)located on your instrument panel maylight. If this occurs, please return yourvehicle to a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician for maintenance.
Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers"Oxygenated fuels" Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing "oxygenates" which are usually alcohols orethers. In some areas, state or local lawsrequire that the service pump be marked indi-cating use of alcohols or ethers. However,there are areas in which the pumps areunmarked. If you are not sure whether there isalcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy,check with the service station operator. Tomeet seasonal air quality standards, someareas require the use of "oxygenated" fuel. Volvo allows the use of the following "oxy- genated" fuels; however, the octane ratingslisted on page 139 must still be met. Alcohol – Ethanol: Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume may be used. Ethanolmay also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or"Gasohol". Ethers – MTBE: Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be used.
