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 Informa-
tion 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 moon-
roof 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.
Climate control maintenance
Special tools and equipment are required to maintain and carry out
repairs on the climate system. Work of this type should only be done by
a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Refrigerant
Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your
car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a (HFC134a). This substance
will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 2.2 lbs (1000 g)
R134a and uses PAG oil.
Climate system blower
The climate system blower will be automatically switched off when the
engine is not running (even if the ignition key is in position I or II) to
avoid unnecessary battery drain. To activate the blower, turn the control
to the desired setting.
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.
