misting, keep the windows clean and use  
window cleaner.

•
The car is equipped with electronic climate  
control (p. 137). The climate control system  
cools or heats as well as dehumidifies the air  
in the passenger compartment.  
NOTE  
Cars with Start/Stop*  
Air conditioning (AC) (p. 141) can be  
switched off, but to ensure the best possi-  
ble climate comfort in the passenger com-  
partment, and to prevent the windows  
from misting, it should always be switched  
on.  
With an auto-stopped (p. 283) engine certain  
equipment may have its function temporarily  
reduced, e.g. climate control fan speed  
(p. 140).  
04  
Cars with ECO*  
Certain equipment may have its function tem-  
porarily reduced or deactivated when the  
ECO (p. 292) function is activated, e.g. the air  
conditioning (p. 141).  
To bear in mind  
To ensure that the air conditioning works

optimally, the side windows, and sunroof*  
should be closed.  
Global opening (p. 185) opens/closes all

•
side windows simultaneously and can be  
used for example to quickly air the car  
during hot weather.  
When the ECO function is activated, sev-  
eral parameters in the climate control sys-  
tem's settings are changed, and several  
electricity consumer functions are  
reduced. Certain settings can be reset  
manually, but full functionality is only  
restored by deactivating the ECO function.  
Remove ice and snow from the climate  
control system air intake (the grille  
between the bonnet and the windscreen).  
•
In warm weather, condensation from the  
air conditioning may drip under the car.  
This is normal.

Actual temperature  
Sensors - climate control  
Air quality  
The temperature you select in the passenger  
compartment corresponds to the physical  
experience with reference to factors such as  
ambient temperature, air speed, humidity and  
solar radiation etc. in and around the car at  
the time.  
The climate control system has a number of  
sensors to help control the temperature  
(p. 132) in the car.  
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. 133)  
•
The temperature sensor for the passen-  
ger compartment is located below the cli-  
mate control panel.  
Material in the passenger compartment  
(p. 134)  
•
•
The system includes a sun sensor (p. 132)  
which detects on which side the sun is shin-  
ing into the passenger compartment. This  
means that the temperature can differ  
between the right and left-hand air vents  
despite the controls being set for the same  
temperature on both sides.

Air quality - Clean Zone Interior  
Package (CZIP)*  
NOTE  
To keep the CZIP standard in cars with  
CZIP the IAQS filter must be changed after  
15 000 km or once per year depending on  
whichever occurs first. However, up to  
75 000 km over 5 years. In cars without  
CZIP and where the customer does not  
want to keep the CZIP standard the IAQS  
filter must be changed at a regular service.  
All air entering the car's passenger compart-  
ment is cleaned with a filter.  
CZIP comprises a series of modifications that  
keep the passenger compartment even  
clearer from allergy and asthma-inducing sub-  
stances.  
The filter must be replaced at regular inter-  
vals. Follow the Volvo Service Programme for  
the recommended replacement intervals. If  
the car is used in a severely contaminated  
environment, it may be necessary to replace  
the filter more often.  
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  
passenger compartment with fresh air.  
The function 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.

The air quality system IAQS (p. 134) is a  
•
fully automatic system that cleans the air  
in the passenger compartment from con-  
taminants such as particles, hydrocar-  
bons, nitrous oxides and ground-level  
ozone.

The air quality system IAQS separates gases  
and particles to reduce the levels of odours  
and pollution in the passenger compartment.  
Tested materials have been developed in  
order to minimise the quantity of dust in the  
passenger compartment and to contribute to  
making the passenger compartment easier to  
keep clean.  
It is possible to activate/deactivate or change  
the default settings for six of the climate con-  
trol system's functions via the centre console.

If the outside air is contaminated then the air  
intake is closed and the air is recirculated.

easy to remove and clean. Use cleaning  
agents and car care products recommended

In the event of misting, the air quality sen-  
sor should be disengaged, and the

Ventilated front seats*  
WARNING  
The ventilation can be used at the same time  
as seat heating. For example, the function can  
be used to dry damp from clothing.  
Heated seats must not be used by people  
who find it difficult to perceive an increase  
in temperature due to a lack of sensation  
or who otherwise have problems operating  
the controls for the heated seats. Other-  
wise they may suffer burn injuries.  
Press the button repeatedly  
in order to activate the func-  
tion.  
The ventilation system consists of fans in the  
seats and backrests that draw air through the  
seat upholstery. The cooling effect increases  
the cooler the passenger compartment air  
becomes. The system can be activated when  
the engine is running.  
There are three comfort levels that produce  
different cooling and dehumidification out-

IMPORTANT  
NOTE  
If the air in the car is recirculated for too  
long then there is a risk of misting on the  
insides of the windows.  
NOTE  
The noise level increases as the fan is  
operating at max.  
Heated windscreen and IR window (p. 21)  
may have an impact on the performance of  
transponders and other communication

Timer  
When the defroster is switched off the climate  
control returns to the previous settings.  
With the timer function activated the system  
will exit manually activated recirculation mode  
according to a time that depends on the out-  
side temperature. This reduces the risk of ice,  
misting and bad air.

Refuelling  
Preconditioning prepares the heater, engine  
and passenger compartment before depar-  
ture so that both wear and energy needs dur-  
ing the journey are reduced.  
IMPORTANT  
Repeated use of the heater combined with  
short journeys leads to the battery dis-

lems.  
The heater can be started directly (p. 147) or  
with a timer (p. 148).  
The heater cannot start if the outside tem-  
perature exceeds 15 °C. At –5 °C or lower the  
maximum running time of the heater is 50  
minutes.  
The car should be driven for the same time  
as the heater is used to ensure that the  
car's 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.
