4.2.7. Air quality

Your car is designed to provide a pleasant and healthy interior climate. Air filtering helps to remove odours,

substances and particles from the passenger compartment.

Passenger compartment air filter

The air going into the passenger compartment is first filtered through the climate control system. To ensure high performance,

the filter needs to be replaced regularly. If the filter is exposed to intense use, such as prolonged driving through areas of smog

or dust clouds, then the filter needs to be changed more frequently. If you are uncertain about what kind of filter to use, contact

Volvo support.

Air quality system

The air in the passenger compartment is purified by:

filtering allergy and asthma-inducing substances.

removing gases and particles to reduce odours.

removing air contaminants such as particles.

If the air quality sensors detect contaminants in the outside air, the air intake closes and internal air recirculation activates.

CleanZone

CleanZone indicates whether conditions for good air quality are met or not.

4.2.7.1. Air quality indication

The air quality tab in the centre display's climate view provides you with information on the air quality both

inside and outside of the car.

Information in the air quality tab indicates the quality of the inside and outside air. A sensor measures the content of particles

smaller than 2.5 µm in the passenger compartment. The information on the content of contaminants outside the car is provided

by an external service and is based on modelled data.

Tip

For some regions, information on pollen levels is available. Press Air quality and pollen to see more detailed information.

4.2.7.2. Air cleaning

To provide good air quality, your car is equipped with different air cleaning capabilities.

Your car has multiple functions to ensure good air quality. Some of these are passive and some can be controlled in the centre

display.

4.2.7.3. CleanZone

CleanZone is an air quality function that controls and indicates whether all conditions for providing good air

You can find information regarding the air quality in the climate view. CleanZone is obtained if all conditions to provide a good

air quality in the passenger compartment are met. If it can’t be obtained, you can see in the centre display which condition is

still not met.

4.2.7.4. Activating air recirculation

Air recirculation helps you keep out harmful or foul-smelling air from the passenger compartment. In some

cases, it's activated automatically but you can also activate it manually in the climate view.

By default, the climate system automatically decides whether to recirculate the air depending on certain environmental condi-

tions. If the air quality sensor notices that the exterior air is polluted, your car will automatically close the air intake and instead

recycle the air in the passenger compartment. You can also manually activate constant air recirculation to close the air intake if

you want to.

Important

If the air is recirculated for a long period of time, condensation can fog up the windows, which can affect visibility.

Note

Air recirculation is unavailable while max defroster is active.

If activated manually, air recirculation will time out after a while.

In colder climates, air recirculation may not activate due to a risk of mist.

1. Press the fan symbol

in the bottom bar.

2. Press the recirculation symbol

4.2.8. Climate system

Your car's climate system aims to provide everyone in the car with a comfortable environment using

electronic climate control.

All climate control system functions are controlled via the centre display.

Your car uses sensors to automatically control different capabilities that are designed to offer a comfortable interior climate at

all times.
