Climate zones  
The car is equipped with electronic climate  
control. The climate control system cools or  
heats as well as dehumidifies the air in the  
passenger compartment.  
The number of climate zones that the car is  
divided into governs the options for setting  
different temperatures for different parts of  
the passenger compartment.  
All climate control system functions are con-  
trolled from the centre display and physical  
buttons in the centre console.  
1-zone climate  
Some functions for the rear seat can also be  
controlled from the climate controls* at the  
rear of the tunnel console.  
NOTE  
If necessary, the climate control can be  
used to cool the media system in the cen-  
tre display. In these cases, the message  
Climate system Cooling the  
infotainment system is shown in the  
driver display.  
Climate zones with 1-zone climate.  
With 1-zone climate, the temperature in the  
passenger compartment is set jointly for the  
left and right-hand sides.

The climate control system regulates the cli-  
mate in the passenger compartment based  
on the perceived temperature, not on actual  
temperature.  
The temperature you select in the passenger  
compartment corresponds to the physically  
perceived temperature as affected by factors  
such as the ambient temperature, air speed,  
humidity, solar radiation, etc. in and around  
the car at the time.  
"Air condition on"/"Air condition off" -  
activates/deactivates the air conditioning.  
"Recirculation on"/"Recirculation off" -  
activates/deactivates the air circulation.  
Tap on  
and say one of the following com-  
"Turn on defroster "/"Turn off  
defroster" - activates/deactivates defrost-  
ing of windows and door mirrors.

The system includes a sun sensor which  
detects on which side the sun is shining into  
the passenger compartment. This means that  
the temperature can differ between the right  
and left-hand side's air vents despite the con-  
trols being set for the same temperature on  
both sides.  
"Set temperature to X degrees" - sets  
the desired temperature.

"Turn on electric defroster"/"Turn off  
electric defroster" - activates/deacti-  
vates the heated windscreen*.  
"Raise temperature"/"Lower

ture setting one step.  
"Turn on rear defroster"/"Turn off rear  
defroster" - activates/deactivates the  
heated rear window and door mirrors.  
"Sync temperature" - synchronises the  
temperature* for all climate zones in the  
car with the temperature set for the driv-  
er's side.

Materials in the passenger  
compartment  
The interior of the passenger compartment is  
designed to be pleasant and comfortable,  
even for people with contact allergies and for  
asthma sufferers.  
NOTE  
Not all system languages support voice  
recognition. The ones that do are high-  
lighted with the  
symbol in the list of  
available system languages. Read more  
about where the information can be found  
in the section on settings for voice recogni-  
tion.  
Tested materials have been developed in order  
to reduce the quantity of dust in the passenger  
compartment and to contribute to making the  
passenger compartment easier to keep clean.

The carpets in both the passenger compart-  
ment and the cargo area are removable and

Follow the Volvo Service Programme for the  
recommended replacement intervals. If the car  
is used in a severely contaminated environ-

Parking climate*  
Preconditioning*  
NOTE  
Parking climate control is a generic term for  
various functions that improve the passenger  
compartment climate when the car is parked,  
e.g. preconditioning.  
Preconditioning is a climate function which, if  
possible, attempts to reach comfort tempera-  
ture in the passenger compartment before  
departure.  
It is not possible to activate the air condi-  
tioning when the fan control is in Off posi-  
tion.  
Functions belonging to the parking  
climate control are controlled from  
the Parking climate in climate view  
in the centre display. Open climate  
view by pressing the symbol in the middle of  
the climate row.  
Preconditioning can use direct start or be set  
via the timer.

The parking heater is one of two subfunctions  
of the car's heater. The heater is fitted inside  
the engine compartment.  
Make sure that there is enough charge in  
the starter battery if the parking heater  
needs to be used.  
In locations with combustible or flam-  
mable material nearby. Fuel, gas, long  
grass, sawdust, etc. may ignite.  
When this symbol illuminates in the

may be active.  
IMPORTANT  
When there is a risk that the heater’s  
exhaust line may be blocked. For  
example, deep snow under the front  
part of the car can obstruct the heat-  
er’s ventilation.  
Repeated use of the parking heater com-  
bined with short journeys may discharge  
the battery and impair starting.  
NOTE  
When the heater is running, smoke may be  
emitted from under the front part of the car  
and a low hum may be heard. A ticking  
sound from the fuel pump may also be  
heard from the rear section of the car. This  
is perfectly normal.  
If the heater is used on a regular basis,  
then the car should be driven for the same  
amount of time that the heater is used in  
order to ensure that the car's battery is  
recharged with the same amount of energy  
as consumed by the parking heater. In cold  
climates or if the battery is older, a longer  
mileage may be required to charge the bat-  
tery.  
Remember that the preconditioning can be  
started by a timer that has been set for a  
long time in advance.  
WARNING  
If there is a smell of fuel, unusual amounts  
of smoke, black smoke, or unusual sounds  
coming from the parking heater, switch off  
the heater and, if possible, pull out its fuse.  
Volvo recommends that an authorised  
Volvo workshop should be contacted for  
repair.  
The parking heater starts automatically if the  
parking climate's preconditioning* is activated  
and the passenger compartment needs to be  
heated up.  
Depending on factors such as fuel availability,  
battery level, passenger compartment tem-  
perature and ambient temperature, the heater  
has different running times, but never longer  
than 30 minutes.
