206 Clean Zone Interior Package*
Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) is a series
of modifications that filters even more allergy and
asthma-inducing substances from the passenger
compartment.
CZIP includes the following:
• An enhanced function that starts the blower
when the vehicle is unlocked using the
remote key. The blower will then fill the pas-
senger compartment with fresh air. The func-
tion starts when required and switches off
automatically after a period of time or when
one of the passenger compartment doors is
opened. The amount of time the blower runs
gradually decreases due to reduced need up
until the vehicle is 4 years old.
• The fully automatic Interior Air Quality
System (IAQS).

• Passenger compartment air filter (p. 207) Interior Air Quality System*
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully auto-
matic air quality system that removes gases and
particles to reduce odors and contaminants in
the passenger compartment. IAQS is part of the Clean Zone Interior Package
(CZIP) and removes air contaminants such as
particles, hydrocarbons, nitric oxides and ground-
level ozone.
If the system's air quality sensors detect contami-
nants in the outside air, the air intake closes and
air recirculation is activated.
NOTE To ensure optimal air quality in the passenger
compartment, the air quality sensor should
always be engaged.
Recirculation is limited in cold weather to pre-
vent fogging.
In the event of fogging, use the defroster
functions for the windshield, side windows
and rear window.

NOTE Preconditioning is only available when the car
is connected to an electrical outlet. A charg-
ing post that is not always active, for example
because of a timer, can cause loss of function
for preconditioning.
If the car is not connected to an electrical
socket it is still possible in a warm climate to
achieve brief cooling of the passenger com-
partment by direct starting preconditioning.
NOTE
The vehicle doors and windows should be
closed during preconditioning of the passen-
ger compartment.
Starting from app*
A device with the Volvo On Call* app can be used
to start preconditioning or check settings. Pre-
conditioning heats or cools the passenger com-
partment (using the vehicle's air conditioning) to
a comfortable temperature.
The passenger compartment can also be precon-
ditioned using the Engine Remote Start (ERS) 3
function using the Volvo On Call* app.

A Red Key makes it possible for the vehicle
owner to set limitations for certain vehicle prop-
erties. The limitations are intended to promote
safe use of the vehicle, e.g. when it is loaned
out. For a Red Key, it is possible to define the vehi-
cle's maximum speed, set speed reminders and
limit the audio system's volume. Several of the
driver support systems will also always be active.
Otherwise, the Red Key functions in the same
way as a standard remote key.
One or more Red Keys can be ordered from a
Volvo retailer. A total of twelve keys can be pro-
grammed and used for the same vehicle. Up to
ten may be restricted keys, but at least two must
