Volvo V70r (2004 year). Manual — part 2

position slightly to allow the backrest/head restraint to help support the occupant's head before moving slightly
rearward. This movement helps absorb some of the forces that could result in the whiplash effect.

Do not wedge boxes, suitcases, etc. behind front seats

WARNING!

Any contact between the front seat backrests and the folded rear seat could impede the function of the WHIPS

system. If the rear seat is folded down, the occupied front seats must be adjusted forward so that they do not touch
the folded rear seat.

Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the front seats (see illustration above) could impede the function of the

WHIPS system.

The WHIPS system is designed to supplement the other safety systems in your car. For this system to function

properly, the three-point seat belt must be worn. Please be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that
may occur in an accident.

If your car has been involved in a collision, the front seat backrests must be inspected by an authorized Volvo

retailer even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Certain components in the WHIPS system may need to be
replaced. Do not attempt to service any component in the WHIPS system yourself.

If the rear seat backrests are folded down, cargo must be secured to prevent it from sliding forward against the

front seat backrests in the event of a collision from the rear. This could interfere with the action of the WHIPS
system.

The WHIPS system is designed to function in certain collisions from the rear, depending on the crash severity,

angle and speed.

Occupants in the front seats must never sit out of position. The occupant's back must be as upright as comfort

allows and be against the seat back with the seat belt properly fastened.

Air vents in door pillars

A Open
B Closed
C Horizontal air flow
D Vertical air flow

Direct the air vents toward the rear side windows to demist.

Direct the air vents toward the rear seat for the best heating/cooling effect.

pg. 47 Climate control system - general information

Condensation on the inside of the windows

Keeping the insides of the windows clean will help reduce the amount of condensation that forms on the windows. Use
a commercial window cleaning agent to clean the windows.

Ice and snow

Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.

Cabin air filter

Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. Please refer to your Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet, or consult your Volvo retailer for these intervals. The filter should be replaced more
often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be
replaced with a new one.

Sensors

The sunlight sensor on the dashboard and passenger compartment temperature sensor in the ECC control panel should
not be covered in any way as this could cause incorrect information to be sent to the ECC system.

Parking the car in warm weather

If your car has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the windows and moonroof (option) for several
minutes before driving will help release the warm air from the passenger compartment. When the engine is running,
close the windows and moonroof and use the recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning
to cool the compartment as quickly as possible.

Windows and optional moonroof

The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional moonroof are closed. If you drive with the moonroof
open, we recommend that you manually adjust the temperature and blower control (the LED in the AUTO switch
should be off).

Acceleration

The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration.

ECC maintenance

All maintenance on the climate control systems should be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician only.

Refrigerant

Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a.
This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 2.2 lbs (1000 g) R134a and uses PAG oil.

Passenger compartment blower

Approximately 50 minutes after the ignition is turned off, the blower may come on automatically, and run for five
minutes, to remove condensation in the A/C evaporator.

pg. 48 Electronic Climate Control (ECC)

pg. 49 Electronic Climate Control (ECC)

AUTO

This function automatically regulates the Electronic Climate Control system so that the selected temperatures are
maintained. The blower, heating, air distribution (air flow) and air conditioning are controlled. If you prefer to
manually set any of these functions, the remaining functions will still be controlled automatically. Pressing the AUTO
button overrides any settings that were previously made manually.

Temperature

These controls are used to individually set the temperature for both sides of the passenger compartment. Please note
that the compartment will not be heated or cooled faster by setting the temperature higher or lower than necessary. Set
the control to the temperature you prefer.

Defroster

This function demists/de-ices the windshield and front side windows. The LED in the switch will light up to indicate
that the defrost function is engaged. Blower speed increases automatically and the air in the passenger compartment is
dehumidified. Recirculation will not function while defrost is engaged.

Heated rear window/sideview mirrors

This function demists/de-ices the rear window and sideview mirrors. The LED in the switch will light up to indicate
that the heating function is engaged. See

page 38

for additional information on this function.

CAUTION:

Never use ice scrapers made of metal as they can easily scratch the mirror surface.

pg. 50 Electronic Climate Control (ECC) - manual settings

Recirculation (see also

page 48

)

Press this switch to engage the recirculation function (air in the passenger compartment recirculates - no fresh air
enters the compartment). The LED in the switch will light up to indicate that the function is engaged.

Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke, etc or to heat/cool the car quickly.
Recirculation should not be used for more than 15 minutes. If your windows begin to fog or mist, make sure that the

recirculation function is switched off.

Selecting Defroster automatically switches recirculation off.
Timer mode activation: (Cars with Interior Air Quality system have no timer mode) Press and hold the recirculation

button for at least 3 seconds to activate a recirculation timer mode. The amber LED in the recirculation button will
flash 5 times to show that the timer mode is being activated. In the timer mode, each time the recirculation button is
pressed, the climate control system will recirculate the air in the passenger compartment for 5-12 minutes, depending
on the outside air and then revert back to fresh air.

Timer mode deactivation: Press and hold the recirculation button for at least 3 seconds. The amber LED in the

recirculation button will illuminate steadily for 5 seconds to show a return to "normal" mode.

In normal mode, when the recirculation button is pressed, the climate control system will recirculate the air in the

passenger compartment until the recirculation button is pressed again.

Timer mode memory: If the car is turned off while timer mode is active, timer mode will still be active when the

car is restarted.

Heated front seats (option)

Please see

page 38

for more information on this function.

Press AUTO to automatically regulate air flow or press any combination of the controls shown in the illustration to
manually adjust air flow. An LED in the switch will light up if an air flow control has been pressed.
