Climate

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.

All climate control system functions are con-
trolled from the centre display and physical
buttons in the centre console.

Some functions for the rear seat can also be
controlled from the climate controls

*

at the

rear of the tunnel console.

Climate zones

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.

2-zone climate

Climate zones with 2-zone climate.

With 2-zone climate, the temperature in the
passenger compartment can be set separately
for the left and right-hand sides.

Climate control - sensors

The climate control system has a number of
sensors to help control the climate in the car.

Sensor location

Sun sensor - on the upper side of the
instrument panel.
Moisture sensor - in the casing by the
interior rearview mirror.
Outside temperature sensor - in the right-
hand door mirror.
Temperature sensor for the passenger
compartment - by the physical buttons in
the centre console.

NOTE

Do not cover or block the sensors with
clothing or other objects.

there is

also an air quality sensor that is fitted into the
climate control system air intake.

Perceived temperature

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.

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.

Air quality

The materials selected for the passenger
compartment and the air cleaning system
ensure that the air quality in the passenger
compartment is high.

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.

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
easy to remove and clean.

Use cleaning agents and car care products
recommended by Volvo to clean the interior.

Air cleaning system

In addition to the passenger compartment fil-
ter, the car is equipped with an air cleaning
system that helps to maintain high air quality
in the passenger compartment.

have been met, this is indicated by the text
changing colour to blue.

Conditions that need to be met:

•

That all doors and the boot lid are closed.

passenger compartment even clearer from
allergy and asthma-inducing substances.

The following is included:

•

An enhanced fan function that means that
the fan starts when the car is unlocked
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.

Interior Air Quality System

*

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully
automatic air quality system that separates
gases and particles to reduce the levels of
odours and contaminants in the passenger
compartment.

IAQS is a part of the Clean Zone Interior
Package (CZIP) and cleans the air in the pas-
senger compartment from contaminants such
as particles, hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides and
ground-level ozone.

If the air quality sensor senses that the outside
air is contaminated, the air intake is closed
and air recirculation is activated.

NOTE

The air quality sensor must always be ena-
bled to ensure the best air in the passenger
compartment.

In a cold climate recirculation is limited so
as to prevent misting.

In the event of misting, the defrost func-
tions for windscreen, side windows and
rear window should be used.

Passenger compartment filter

All air entering the car's passenger compart-
ment is cleaned with a filter.

Replacing the passenger
compartment filter

To maintain high climate system performance,
the filter must be changed at regular intervals.
Follow the Volvo Service Programme for the
recommended replacement intervals. If the car
is used in a severely contaminated environ-
ment, it may be necessary to replace the filter
more often.

NOTE

There are different types of passenger
compartment filter. Make sure that the cor-
rect filter is fitted.

Air distribution

The climate control system distributes the
incoming air via a number of different vents in
the passenger compartment.

Automatic and manual air distribution

With auto-regulated climate control running
the air distribution takes place automatically. If
necessary, the air distribution can be con-
trolled manually.

Adjustable air vents

Some of the air vents in the car are adjustable,
which means that you can open/close the vent
to aim the air flow.

compartment.

Four on the instrument panel and one on
each of the door pillars between the front

Opening, closing and aiming the

air vents

Some air vents in the passenger compart-
ment can be opened, closed and aimed indi-
vidually.

If the car's outer vents are aimed at the side
windows then misting can be eliminated.

If the car's outer vents are aimed inwards
then, in a hot climate, a comfortable environ-
ment is obtained in the passenger compart-
ment.

Opening and closing the air vents

Air vents on the instrument panel:

–

Turn the rotary knob in the middle of the
air vent to open/close the air flow from the
vent.

The air flow is at maximum when the
marking on the knob is in vertical position.

Air vents in the door pillars:

–

Move the lever in the middle of the air vent
up/down to open/close the air flow from
the vent.

The air flow is switched off in the bottom
position, while it is constant in other posi-
tions.

Aiming the air vents

–

Move the lever in the middle of the air vent
horizontally/vertically to direct the air flow
from the vent.
