Perceived temperature
The climate control system regulates the cli- mate in the passenger compartment basedon perceived temperature, not actual tem-perature.
The selected passenger compartment tem- perature is based on the physical perception ofthe current ambient temperature, airflowspeed, humidity, sunlight in the passengercompartment, etc. The system has a sunlight sensor that detects which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shin-ing on and adjusts the temperature accord-ingly. This means that the temperature of theair coming out of the vents may be differentfor the left and right sides, even if the tem-perature setting is the same for both sides.

Air quality The materials used in the passenger compart- ment and air filtering system have beenselected to ensure a high level of air quality inthe passenger 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 reduce dust in the passenger compartmentand make it easier to keep clean. The mats in both the passenger compartment and cargo compartment can be easilyremoved for cleaning. Use Volvo-recommended cleaning agents and car care products to clean the interior.
Air filtering systemsIn addition to the passenger compartment airfilter, the vehicle is also equipped with otherair cleaning systems that help you maintainhigh air quality in the passenger compartment.

Clean Zone Interior Package *
Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) is a series of modifications that filters even more allergyand asthma-inducing substances from thepassenger compartment.
CZIP includes the following:
An enhanced function that starts the blower when the vehicle is unlocked usingthe remote key. The blower will then fillthe passenger compartment with fresh air.The function starts when required andswitches off automatically after a period oftime or when one of the passenger com-partment doors is opened. The amount oftime the blower runs gradually decreasesdue to reduced need up until the vehicle is4 years old.
The fully automatic Interior Air QualitySystem (IAQS).

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully automatic air quality system that removesgases and particles to reduce odors and con-taminants in the passenger compartment.
IAQS is part of the Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) and removes air contaminantssuch as particles, hydrocarbons, nitric oxidesand ground-level ozone. If the system's air quality sensors detect con- taminants in the outside air, the air intakecloses and air recirculation is activated.
NOTE
To ensure optimal air quality in the passen- ger compartment, the air quality sensorshould always be engaged. Recirculation is limited in cold weather to prevent fogging. In the event of fogging, use the defroster functions for the windshield, side windowsand rear window.

Passenger compartment air filter
All air entering the passenger compartment through the climate control system intake isfiltered.
Replacing the passenger compartment filter
To maintain the high performance of the cli- mate control system, the filter must bereplaced regularly. Follow Volvo's serviceschedule for recommended replacement inter-vals. When driving in areas with a lot of smog,dust, etc., the filter may need to be changedmore frequently.
NOTE
There are two types of passenger compart- ment filters. Make sure that the correct fil-ter is installed.

Air distribution
The climate system distributes incoming air through a number of vents in the passengercompartment.
Automatic and manual air distributionWhen the auto-climate feature is on, air distri- bution is regulated automatically. Air distribu-tion can also be controlled manually.
Adjustable air ventsCertain air vents in the vehicle are adjustable,which means they can be opened/closed andthe direction of the air flow from the vent canbe adjusted.
Location of adjustable air vents in the passenger compartment.
Two rows of seats – four vents on the dashboard, two on the rear side of the

Opening, closing and directing air ventsSome of the air vents in the passenger com- partment can be individually opened, closedand directed.
Misting can be eliminated by directing the outer air vents towards the door windows. Direct the outer air vents into the passenger compartment to maintain a comfortable tem-perature in warm weather.
Opening and closing the air vents–Turn the thumb wheel under the air vent to open/close the airflow from the vent. The more white lines that are visible, the stronger the airflow.
Directing air flow–Move the lever in the center of the air vent horizontally or vertically to direct the air-flow from the vent.
