center console.
Certain rear seat functions can also be controlled
from the climate controls* on the rear of the tun-
nel console.

In 4-zone climate systems, the passenger com-
partment temperature can be set separately for
the left and right sides of the vehicle, and for the
front and rear seats.
Related information
Climate (p. 204) Climate control sensors
The climate system has a number of sensors to
help regulate the climate settings in the vehicle.
Location of the sensors Humidity sensor - in the rearview mirror con-
sole.
Ambient temperature sensor - in the right-
side door mirror.
Passenger compartment temperature sensor
- near the buttons in the center console.
Sunlight sensors - on the upper side of the
dashboard.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with cloth-
ing or other objects.

CLIMATE CONTROL
}}
* Option/accessory. 205
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. 204)
Interior Air Quality System* (p. 208) 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.

The materials used in the passenger compart-
ment and air filtering system have been selected
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.

The Clean Zone function monitors the condi-
tions affecting good air quality in the passenger
compartment and indicates whether they are ful-
filled or not. The indicator is shown in the center display's
Climate view.
The indicator is shown in the climate bar
when Climate view is not open.
If the conditions are not met, the text Clean
Zone will be shown in white. When all the condi-
tions are met, the text will change to blue.

208 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. 209) 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.
