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 compartment
The materials used have been developed to help minimize the amount of dust and make the cabineasier to keep clean. All floor mats (including the cargo compartment) can be easily removed for cleaning. Only use cleaning agents and car care products recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and fol-low the instructions included with the product.
Air filtering systemsIn addition to the passenger compartment filter, the Clean Zone Interior Package * and the Interior

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).
