Climate system sensors
The climate system's sensors help regulate thepassenger 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 thedashboard.

NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with cloth-ing or other objects.
On models equipped with the optional Interior AirQuality System, there is also an air quality sensorlocated at the climate system's air intake.

Parking climate (preconditioning)
The climate in the passenger compartment canbe preconditioned and maintained, even whenthe vehicle is parked. For full functionality, thevehicle's charging cable must be connected.
Parking climate/preconditioning and maintaining pas-senger compartment climate comfort is controlled fromthe Parking climate tab in the center display's Climateview.

Preconditioning
Preconditioning the vehicle before driving canhelp reduce wear and reduce energy consump-tion during a trip.

NOTE
Full preconditioning is only possible when thevehicle's charging cable is connected.
In other cases, the passenger compartmentcan be cooled for 3 minutes in warm weather.This function is started from the Parkingclimate tab in the center display's Climateview.
With the charging cable connected, precondition-ing can be started immediately or a timer functioncan start this procedure at a later time.
This feature utilizes several of the vehicle's sys-tems:
•The High Voltage Coolant Heater (HVCH)warms the hybrid battery and passengercompartment in cold weather.
•In warm weather, the ventilation system willattempt to cool the passenger compartmentto the current ambient temperature.
•In warm weather, the air conditioning systemwill cool the passenger compartment to acomfortable temperature.
•The electrically heated steering wheel andseats can be activated.
•Heating for the windshield, tailgate windowand door mirrors can be activated.
If preconditioning is used in warm weather, a cer-tain amount of water may condense under thevehicle, which is normal.
When preconditioning is used, this system willattempt to establish a comfortable temperature inthe passenger compartment but not necessarilythe temperature currently set in the climatesystem.

Maintaining a comfortable passenger
compartment climate
The climate in the passenger compartment canbe maintained even when the vehicle is parkedand the engine is turned off (e.g., if anyoneintends to remain in the vehicle).
This function can only be direct-started.
This function utilizes several of the vehicle's sys-tems:
•Residual heat from the engine is used helpkeep the passenger compartment warm incool temperatures.
•In warm weather, the ventilation system willattempt to cool the passenger compartmentto the current ambient temperature.
This function will not be activated if the vehicle islocked from the outside in order to avoid using
residual engine heat unnecessarily. This functionis primarily intended for use when the engine isnot running but someone remains in the vehicle.

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 helpminimize 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 productsrecommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and fol-low the instructions included with the product.

Air filtering systems
In addition to the passenger compartment filter,the Clean Zone Interior Package* and the InteriorAir Quality System* contribute to a cleaner pas-senger compartment environment.

Clean Zone
The Clean Zone function monitors the conditionsthat affect good passenger compartment airquality.
The indicator is shown in center display's Cli-mate view.
The indicator is shown in the climate barwhen the Climate view is not open.
If the air quality conditions are not met, the textClean Zone will be white. When the conditionsare 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 functiondoes not indicate that the air quality in thepassenger is good, only that the conditionsfor good air quality have been met.

Clean Zone Interior Package
(CZIP)*
The Clean Zone Interior Package includes anumber of features that help further reduce aller-genic substances in the passenger compart-ment.
CZIP includes the following:
•An enhanced blower function that starts theblower when the vehicle is unlocked with theremote key to fill the passenger compart-ment with fresh air. This function starts auto-matically when required and shuts off auto-matically after a short period or if one thedoors is opened. The time for which theblower operates decreases gradually due toreduced need until the vehicle is four yearsold.
•The Interior Air Quality System (IAQS).
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)*
The Interior Air Quality System uses a multifilterand an air quality sensor to remove gases, parti-cles and other contaminants from the air enter-ing the passenger compartment.
The IAQS air quality sensor monitors increasedlevels of contaminants in the outside air and ifcontaminants are detected, the air intake closesand the air inside the passenger compartment isrecirculated, i.e., no outside air enters the vehicle.The filter also cleans recirculated passengercompartment air.

NOTE
•The air quality sensor should always beengaged in order to obtain the best air inthe passenger compartment.
•Recirculation is limited in cold weather toavoid fogging.
•If the insides of the windows start fog-ging, disengage the air quality sensor.Use the defroster function to increaseairflow to the front, side, and rear win-dows.

Activating/deactivating IAQS
To change the setting for IAQS activation/deacti-vation:
1. In the center display's Settings view, go toClimate.
2.Activate/deactivate IAQS by selecting/dese-lecting the Air Quality Sensor box.
