goal. In addition to continuous environmentalrefinement of conventional gasoline-poweredinternal combustion engines, Volvo is activelylooking at advanced technology alternative-fuelvehicles.
When you drive a Volvo, you become our partnerin the work to lessen the vehicle's impact on theenvironment. To reduce your vehicle's environ-mental impact, you can:
•Maintain proper air pressure in your tires.Tests have shown decreased fuel economywith improperly inflated tires.
•Follow the recommended maintenanceschedule in your Warranty and ServiceRecords Information booklet.
•Drive at a constant speed whenever possible.
•See a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician as soon as possible for inspectionif the check engine (malfunction indicator)light illuminates, or stays on after the vehiclehas started.
•Properly dispose of any vehicle-related wastesuch as used motor oil, used batteries, brakepads, etc.
•When cleaning your vehicle, please use gen-uine Volvo car care products. All Volvo carcare products are formulated to be environ-mentally friendly.

Twin Engine vehicles
•If possible, precondition the vehicle with thecharging cable before driving.
•If preconditioning is not possible in coldweather, use the seat and steering wheelheating primarily. Avoid heating the entirepassenger compartment, which reduces thehybrid battery's charge level.
•Choose the Pure drive mode to help mini-mize electric power consumption.
•In hilly terrain, put the gear selector in modeB to utilize the electric motor's braking func-tion when the accelerator pedal is released.This helps charge the hybrid battery.

CLIMATE CONTROL
}}
* Option/accessory. 203
On vehicles equipped with the Interior Air Quality
System*, there is also an air quality sensor in the
climate system's air intake.
Related information
• Climate (p. 202)
• Interior Air Quality System* (p. 206) Perceived temperature
The climate control system regulates the climate
in the passenger compartment based on per-
ceived temperature, not actual temperature.
The selected passenger compartment tempera-
ture is based on the physical perception of the
current ambient temperature, airflow speed,
humidity, sunlight in the passenger compartment,
etc.
The system has a sunlight sensor that detects
which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shining
on and adjusts the temperature accordingly. This
means that the temperature of the air coming out
of the vents may be different for the left and right
sides, even if the temperature setting is the same
for both sides.
Related information
• Climate (p. 202) Climate control system voice
commands

Voice commands can be used for the climate
control system to e.g. change temperature, acti-
vate seat heating* or change blower speed. Tap and say one of the following commands:
• "Climate" - starts a command dialog for cli-
mate controls and provides examples of
commands that can be used.
• "
Set temperature to X degrees" - sets
desired temperature.
• "
Raise temperature"/"Lower
temperature" - raises/lowers the set tem-
perature.
• "Sync temperature" - synchronizes the
temperature for all climate zones in the vehi-
cle with the temperature set for the driver's
side.
• "
Air on feet"/"Air on body" - opens the
desired air vent.
• "
Air on feet off"/"Air on body off" - closes
the desired air vent.
• "Set fan to max"/"Turn off fan" - changes
blower speed to
Max/Off.

to ensure a high level of air quality in the passen-
ger compartment.
Materials used in the passenger
compartment
The materials in the passenger compartment are
designed to be pleasant and comfortable, even
for people with asthma or allergies.
The materials have been developed and tested to
minimize dust in the passenger compartment and
make it easier to keep clean.
The mats in both the passenger compartment
and cargo compartment can be easily removed
for cleaning.
Use Volvo-recommended cleaning agents and
car care products to clean the interior.
Air filtering systemsIn addition to the passenger compartment filter,
the Clean Zone Interior Package* and Interior Air
Quality System* also help maintain high air qual-
ity in the passenger compartment.
