Climate

The vehicle is equipped with electronic cli-
mate control. The climate system cools, heats
and dehumidifies the air in the passenger
compartment.

All of the climate system functions are con-
trolled from the center display and the buttons
on the center console.

Certain rear seat functions can also be con-
trolled from the climate controls

on the rear

The vehicle is divided into climate zones to
make it possible to set different temperatures
for different parts of the passenger compart-
ment.

1-zone climate system

In 1-zone climate systems, the passenger
compartment temperature is set jointly for the
left and right sides of the vehicle.

Climate control sensors

The climate system has a number of sensors
to help regulate the climate settings in the
vehicle. Do not cover or block the sensors
with clothing or other objects.

Location of the sensors

Sunlight sensors - on the upper side of the
dashboard.
Humidity sensor - in the rearview mirror
console.
Ambient temperature sensor - in the right-
side door mirror.
Passenger compartment temperature sen-
sor - near the buttons in the center con-
sole.

On vehicles equipped with the Interior Air
Quality System

, there is also an air quality

sensor in the climate system's air intake.

CLIMATE CONTROL

* Option/accessory.

192

Perceived temperature

The climate control system regulates the cli-
mate in the passenger compartment based
on perceived temperature, not actual tem-
perature.

The selected passenger compartment tem-
perature is based on the physical perception of
the current ambient temperature, airflow
speed, humidity, sunlight in the passenger
compartment, etc.

The system has a sunlight sensor that detects
which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shin-
ing on and adjusts the temperature accord-
ingly. This means that the temperature of the
air coming out of the vents may be different
for the left and right sides, even if the tem-
perature setting is the same for both sides.

Air quality

The materials used in the passenger compart-
ment and air filtering system have been
selected to ensure a high level of air quality in
the passenger compartment.

Materials used in the passenger
compartment

The materials in the passenger compartment
are designed to be pleasant and comfortable,
even for people with asthma or allergies.

The materials have been developed and tested
to reduce dust in the passenger compartment
and make it easier to keep clean.

The mats in both the passenger compartment
and cargo compartment can be easily
removed for cleaning.

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

Air filtering systems

In addition to the passenger compartment air
filter, the vehicle is also equipped with other
air cleaning systems that help you maintain
high air quality in the passenger compartment.

Clean Zone Interior Package

Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) is a series
of modifications that filters even more allergy
and asthma-inducing substances and other
pollutants from the passenger compartment.

CZIP includes the following:

•

An enhanced function that starts the
blower when the vehicle is unlocked using
the remote key. The blower will then fill
the passenger compartment with fresh air.
The function starts when required and
switches off automatically after a period of
time or when one of the passenger com-
partment doors is opened. The amount of
time the blower runs gradually decreases
due to reduced need up until the vehicle is
4 years old.

Interior Air Quality System

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully
automatic air quality system that removes
gases and particles to reduce odors and con-
taminants in the passenger compartment.

IAQS is part of the Clean Zone Interior
Package (CZIP) and removes air contaminants
such as particles, hydrocarbons, nitric oxides
and ground-level ozone.

If the system's air quality sensors detect con-
taminants in the outside air, the air intake
closes and air recirculation is activated.

Activating and deactivating the air quality
sensor

To ensure optimal air quality in the passen-
ger compartment, the air quality sensor
should always be engaged.

Recirculation is limited in cold weather to
prevent fogging.

In the event of fogging, use the defroster
functions for the windshield, side windows
and rear window.

Passenger compartment air filter

All air entering the passenger compartment
through the climate control system intake is
filtered.

Replacing the passenger
compartment filter

To maintain the high performance of the cli-
mate control system, the filter must be
replaced regularly. Follow Volvo's service
schedule for recommended replacement inter-
vals. When driving in areas with a lot of smog,
dust, etc., the filter may need to be changed
more frequently.

There are two types of passenger compart-
ment filters. Make sure that the correct fil-
ter is installed.

Air distribution

The climate system distributes incoming air
through a number of vents in the passenger
compartment.

Automatic and manual air distribution

When the auto-climate feature is on, air distri-
bution is regulated automatically. Air distribu-
tion can also be controlled manually.

Adjustable air vents

Certain air vents in the vehicle are adjustable,
which means they can be opened/closed and
the direction of the air flow from the vent can
be adjusted.

Location of adjustable air vents in the passenger

compartment.

With 1-zone climate system - four on
dashboard.

- two additional

vents on the rear side of the tunnel con-
sole.

At low ambient temperatures, no air is dis-
tributed from the adjustable air vent noz-
zles at the rear of the tunnel console.
