Climate control system
The vehicle is equipped with Electronic ClimateControl (ECC) that cools, heats, dehumidifiesand filters the air in the passenger compartment.

4-zone climate system
4-zone system climate zones
The 4-zone climate system makes it possible toset the left- and right-side temperatures sepa-rately for the front and rears seats.
All climate system settings are made from thecenter display and the buttons in the center con-sole. Settings for the rear seats can also bemade from the climate system panel on the rearside of the tunnel console.

Perceived temperature
The climate system regulates passenger com-partment temperature based on the perceivedtemperature, not on the actual one.
The selected passenger compartment tempera-ture is based on a physical perception relating tothe current ambient temperature, air flow, humid-ity, sunlight in the passenger compartment, etc.
The system's sunlight sensor monitors the side ofthe car where sunlight is entering the passengercompartment. This means that the actual tem-perature may differ between the right and leftsides of the compartment, even if the tempera-ture setting is the same for both sides.

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.

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.

Locks and remote keys
The vehicle can be locked and unlocked in vari-ous ways and there are several types of remotekeys that can be used.

Locking/unlocking/opening/closing
The vehicle can be locked/unlocked from thepassenger compartment, using the buttons onthe remote key or by using the optional PassiveEntry system where it is only necessary to have akey in your possession to lock or unlock thedoors.
On models equipped with a power tailgate*, it canalso be opened/closed by moving your footunder a sensor* beneath the rear bumper.
If for any reason a remote key does not functionproperly, it may be necessary to replace its bat-teries but the vehicle can always be locked orunlocked manually using the remote key'sdetachable key blade.

Remote key
The remote key does not have to be physicallyhandled in order to start the engine because thevehicle is equipped with the standard PassiveStart system (the key only needs to be in thefront part of the passenger compartment). If thevehicle is equipped with the optional PassiveEntry system that enables keyless entry and start,the key can be anywhere in the vehicle when theengine is started.
Models with Passive Entry* also have an extra,smaller key without buttons called a Key Tag.
Additional keys can be ordered from a Volvoretailer.

Immobilizer
The immobilizer is a start inhibitor that helps pre-vent unauthorized persons from starting theengine.
Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle con-tains a unique coded transponder. The vehiclecode in the key is transmitted to the vehicle'signition system where it is compared to the codestored in the start inhibitor module.
The following message (which may appear in theinstrument panel) is related to the immobilizer:

One of the remote keys must be in your pos-session or within range when you are behindthe vehicle in order to activate the foot move-ment sensor, even if the tailgate is alreadyunlocked. This is done to help prevent thesensor from inadvertently opening the tail-gate, for example, in a car wash.
Be sure that the key is not within range whenthe vehicle is in an automatic carwash.

Operation
Kicking motion under the sensor's activation area
Opening/closing
–With the remote key within range, move yourfoot slowly forward in a kicking motion belowthe left section of the rear bumper withouttouching the bumper and take a step back.
