pg. 33 Heating, ventIlation and air conditioning
Heating and air conditioning
Your Volvo is equipped with a heating system combined with air conditioning. Depending on which
function you select, warm or cool/cold air is distributed to the different parts of the passenger
compartment. A slight amount of condensation may be emitted from the air vents when the air
conditioning is initially switched on. This can occur when both humidity and ambient temperature are
high and is normal.
Winter Air mix (air from the outside)
The center panel vents have an air mix function which allows air from the outside to enter the passenger
compartment when the vents are open (position A). This function is designed to allow you to direct air
from the outside toward your face while directing air from the climate system to the rest of the passenger
compartment.
To warm/cool the compartment as quickly as possible, the air mix control should be in the closed
(F) position.
F Air mix OPEN (blue dot)
E Air mix CLOSED (red dot)
Cabin air filter (optional)
The cabin air filter must be changed every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) to ensure proper veNTIlation.
Under extreme condiitons, the filter may need to be changed more often.
