Calibrating the compass
North America is divided into 15 magnetic zones and the compass will need to be calibrated if thevehicle is driven from one zone to another.
To calibrate the compass:
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safely out of traffic and away from steel structures and high-tension electrical wires.
2. Start the vehicle.
NOTE
• For best calibration results, switch off all electrical equipment in the vehicle (climatesystem, windshield wipers, audio system,etc.) and make sure that all doors areclosed.
• Calibration may not succeed or be incor-rect if the vehicle's electrical equipment isnot switched off.
3. Using a pen, paperclip or similar object, press
and hold the button on the underside of mir- ror for approx. 3 seconds until the number ofthe current magnetic zone is displayed.

Magnetic zones
4. Press the button on the underside of mirrorrepeatedly until the desired magnetic zone (
1–15) is displayed (see the map of mag-
netic zones).
5. Wait until
C is again displayed in the mirror
or hold the button on the underside of mirror for approx. 6 seconds until
C is displayed in
the mirror.
6. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no more than 6 mph (10 km/h) until a direction is dis- played. This indicates that calibration is com-plete. Drive around in a circle an additionaltwo times to fine-tune the calibration.
7. Vehicles with an electrically heated wind- shield: * if
C is displayed when the heating
function is activated, perform step 6 with the heating function on.

CLIMATE

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.

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.
