Climate control systemThe vehicle is equipped with Electronic Climate Control (ECC) that cools, heats, dehumidifiesand filters the air in the passenger compartment.
4-zone climate system
4-zone system climate zones
The 4-zone climate system makes it possible to set the left- and right-side temperatures sepa-rately for the front and rears seats. All climate system settings are made from the center display and the buttons in the center con-sole. Settings for the rear seats can also bemade from the climate system panel on the rearside of the tunnel console.

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.

Climate system sensors The climate system's sensors help regulate the passenger compartment temperature, humiditylevel, etc.
Location of the sensors
Humidity sensor: in the rearview mirror con- sole.
Ambient temperature sensor: in the pas- senger's side door mirror.
Passenger compartment temperature sen- sor: near the center console buttons.
Sunlight sensor: on the upper side of the dashboard.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with cloth- ing or other objects.
On models equipped with the optional Interior Air Quality System, there is also an air quality sensorlocated at the climate system's air intake.

Parking climate (preconditioning)
The climate in the passenger compartment can be preconditioned and maintained, even whenthe vehicle is parked. For full functionality, the
vehicle's charging cable must be connected .
Parking climate/preconditioning and maintaining pas- senger compartment climate comfort is controlled from the Parking climate tab in the center display's Climate
view.

PreconditioningPreconditioning the vehicle before driving can help reduce wear and reduce energy consump-tion during a trip.
NOTE
Full preconditioning is only possible when the vehicle's charging cable is connected. In other cases, the passenger compartment can be cooled for 3 minutes in warm weather. This function is started from the
Parking
climate tab in the center display's Climate
view.
With the charging cable connected, precondition- ing can be started immediately or a timer functioncan start this procedure at a later time. This feature utilizes several of the vehicle's sys- tems:
• The High Voltage Coolant Heater (HVCH)warms the hybrid battery and passengercompartment in cold weather.
• In warm weather, the ventilation system willattempt to cool the passenger compartmentto the current ambient temperature.
• In warm weather, the air conditioning systemwill cool the passenger compartment to acomfortable temperature. •
The electrically heated steering wheel andseats can be activated.
• Heating for the windshield, tailgate windowand door mirrors can be activated.
If preconditioning is used in warm weather, a cer-tain amount of water may condense under thevehicle, which is normal. When preconditioning is used, this system will attempt to establish a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment but not necessarily
the temperature currently set in the climate system .
Maintaining a comfortable passenger compartment climate
The climate in the passenger compartment can be maintained even when the vehicle is parkedand the engine is turned off (e.g., if anyoneintends to remain in the vehicle). This function can only be direct-started.This function utilizes several of the vehicle's sys- tems:
• Residual heat from the engine is used helpkeep the passenger compartment warm incool temperatures.
• In warm weather, the ventilation system willattempt to cool the passenger compartmentto the current ambient temperature.
This function will not be activated if the vehicle islocked from the outside in order to avoid using residual engine heat unnecessarily. This functionis primarily intended for use when the engine isnot running but someone remains in the vehicle.

NOTE
Full preconditioning is only possible when the vehicle's charging cable is connected. In other cases, the passenger compartment can be cooled for 3 minutes in warm weather. This function is started from the
Parking
climate tab in the center display's Climate
view.
The vehicle's doors and windows should be closed during preconditioning.
Starting from a cell phone *Starting preconditioning and checking the cur-rent settings can be done from a cell phone withthe Volvo On Call mobile app. Preconditioningheats the passenger compartment to a comforta-ble temperature or cools the compartment to thecurrent ambient temperature. If the vehicle is equipped with the optional Engine Remote Start (ERS), the air conditioningcan be used to pre-cool the passenger compart-ment to a comfortable temperature.

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
Air Quality System * contribute to a cleaner pas-
senger compartment environment.
Clean Zone *The Clean Zone function monitors the conditions that affect good passenger compartment airquality.
The indicator is shown in center display's Cli- mate view.
The indicator is shown in the climate bar when the Climate view is not open.
If the air quality conditions are not met, the text
Clean Zone will be white. When the conditions
are met, the text will change to blue.
The conditions monitored are:
• All side windows, doors, tailgate and panor- amic roof
* are closed
• The Interior Air Quality System
* is activated
• The air conditioning is activated
• Recirculation is deactivated
NOTE
Please be aware that the Clean Zone function does not indicate that the air quality in thepassenger is good, only that the conditionsfor good air quality have been met.

Passenger compartment air filter
All air entering the passenger compartment through the climate system air intake is filtered.
Filter replacementThe filter must be replaced according to the serv- ice schedule for your vehicle. When driving in e.g.,dusty or industrial areas, the filer may need to bereplaced more often. Consult your Volvo retailer.
