Get CLIMATE CONTROL Guide for Volvo V40 4 Door Second Generation (2012-2019)

CLIMATE CONTROL

In warm weather, condensation from the air

conditioning may drip under the car. This is

normal.

General information on climate

control

The car is equipped with electronic climate con-

trol. The climate control system cools or heats as

well as dehumidifies the air in the passenger

compartment.

•

NOTE

When the ECO function is activated, several

parameters in the climate control system's

settings are changed, and several electricity

consumer functions are reduced. Certain set-

tings can be reset manually, but full function-

ality is only restored by deactivating the ECO

function.

When the engine requires full power, e.g. for

full acceleration, the air conditioning can be

temporarily switched off. There may then be

a temporary increase in temperature in the

passenger compartment.

There are two different climate control systems:

Electronic temperature control (ETC)

(p. 128)

•

Remove misting on the insides of the win-

dows primarily by using the defroster func-

tion (p. 132). To reduce the risk of misting,

keep the windows clean and use window

cleaner.

To bear in mind

To ensure that the air conditioning works

optimally, the side windows must be closed.

•

Global opening (p. 172) opens/closes all

side windows simultaneously and can be

used for example to quickly air the car during

hot weather.

•

Remove ice and snow from the climate con-

trol system air intake (the grille between the

bonnet and the windscreen).

CLIMATE CONTROL

Actual temperature

Sensors - climate control

The climate control system has a number of sen-

sors to help control the temperature (p. 123) in

the car.

Air quality

The temperature you select in the passenger

compartment corresponds to the physical expe-

rience with reference to factors such as ambient

temperature, air speed, humidity and solar radia-

tion etc. in and around the car at the time.

The interior in a passenger compartment is

designed to be pleasant and comfortable, even

for people with contact allergies and for asthma

sufferers.

The sun sensor is located on the top side of

the dashboard.

•

Passenger compartment filter (p. 124)

•

The system includes a sun sensor (p. 123) which

detects on which side the sun is shining into the

passenger compartment. This means¹that the

temperature can differ between the right and left-

hand air vents despite the controls being set for

the same temperature on both sides.

The temperature sensor for the passenger

compartment is located below the climate

control panel.

is cleaned with a filter.

The filter must be replaced at regular intervals.

Follow the Volvo Service Programme for the rec-

ommended replacement intervals. If the car is

used in a severely contaminated environment, it

may be necessary to replace the filter more often.

If the outside air is contaminated then the air

intake is closed in order to shut out hydrocar-

bons, nitrous oxides and ground-level ozone. The

air is recirculated in the passenger compartment.

The following is included:

An enhanced fan function that means that

the fan starts when the car is opened with

the remote control key. The fan fills the pas-

senger compartment with fresh air. The func-

tion starts when required and is disengaged

automatically after a time or when one of the

passenger compartment doors is opened.

The amount of time the fan runs is reduced

gradually due to reduced need up until the

car is 4 years old.

•

It is possible to activate/deactivate the function

in the menu system MY CAR. For a description of

the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 113).

NOTE

There are different types of passenger com-

partment filter. Make sure that the correct fil-

ter is fitted.

NOTE

The air quality sensor must always be enabled

to ensure the best air in the passenger com-

partment.

compartment heater*

Preconditioning prepares the heater, engine and

that both wear and energy needs during the jour-

ney are reduced. Warming up your car will also

extend the driving distance.

IMPORTANT

Repeated use of the heater in combination

with short driving distances may cause low

charge level in the starter battery, this can

lead to the heater stopping or never starting.

In the worst case, engine starting will not be

possible.

The heater can be started directly (p. 137) or

with a timer (p. 138).

The heater cannot start if the outside tempera-

ture exceeds 15 °C. The heater's maximum run-

ning time is 50 minutes.

The car should be driven for the same time as

the heater is used to ensure that the starter

battery is recharged adequately to replace the

energy consumed by the heater when it is

used on a regular basis. The heater is used

for a maximum of 50 minutes each time.

Do not use the fuel-driven heater indoors.
