Perceived temperature
The climate system regulates passenger com- partment temperature based on the perceivedtemperature, not on the actual one.
The selected passenger compartment tempera- ture is based on a physical perception relating tothe current ambient temperature, air flow, humid-ity, sunlight in the passenger compartment, etc. The system's sunlight sensor monitors the side of the car where sunlight is entering the passengercompartment. This means that the actual tem-perature may differ between the right and leftsides of the compartment, even if the tempera-ture setting is the same for both sides.

Air quality
The materials used in the passenger compart- ment have been selected and designed to bepleasant and comfortable, even for people withasthma or other types of allergies.
Materials in the passenger compartmentThe materials used have been developed to help minimize the amount of dust and make the cabineasier to keep clean. All floor mats can be easily removed for cleaning. Use car cleaning products recommended byVolvo. Only use cleaning agents and car care products recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and fol-low the instructions included with the car careproduct.
Air filtering systemsIn addition to the passenger compartment filter, the Clean Zone Interior Package * and the Interior

Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) *
The Clean Zone Interior Package includes a number of features that help further reduce aller-genic substances in the passenger compart-ment.
CZIP includes the following:
• An enhanced blower function that starts the blower when the vehicle is unlocked with theremote key to fill the passenger compart-ment with fresh air. This function starts auto-matically when required and shuts off auto-matically after a short period or if one thedoors is opened. The time for which theblower operates decreases gradually due toreduced need until the vehicle is four yearsold.
• The Interior Air Quality System (IAQS).
NOTE
In order to retain the CZIP standard, the IAQS filter must be replaced at the specified inter-vals. Consult your Volvo retailer.
See also the CZIP brochure for additional infor- mation.
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)
*
The Interior Air Quality System uses a multifilter and an air quality sensor to remove gases, parti-cles and other contaminants from the air enter-ing the passenger compartment.
The IAQS sensor monitors increased levels of contaminants in the outside air and if contami-nants are detected, the air intake closes and theair inside the passenger compartment is recircu-lated, i.e., no outside air enters the vehicle. The fil-ter also cleans recirculated passenger compart-ment air.
NOTE
• The air quality sensor should always be engaged in order to obtain the best air inthe passenger compartment.
• Recirculation is limited in cold weather toavoid fogging.
• If the insides of the windows start fog-ging, disengage the air quality sensor.Use the defroster function to increaseairflow to the front, side, and rear win-dows.
NOTE
In order to retain the CZIP standard, the IAQS filter must be replaced at the specified inter-vals. Consult your Volvo retailer.
