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.
