Misting windows
Remove misting on the insides of the windows by primarily using the defroster function. To reduce the risk of misting,
clean the windows with a normal window cleaning agent.
Vents in the parcel shelf
NOTE
The air vents at the rear of the parcel shelf should never be obstructed.
Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning
The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration or when driving uphill with a trailer.
This may result in a temporary increase in cabin temperature.
Ice and snow
Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.
Climate system 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.
This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The air conditioning system contains 1.59 lbs (720 g) of R134a. The
systems uses PAG oil.
Passenger compartment 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 a trained and qualified Volvo service technician 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.

Climate system
NOTE
There are different types of cabin air filters. Ensure that the correct type is installed.
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)
A multifilter helps reduce gases and particles in the incoming air, thereby reducing the levels of odors and
contaminants entering the vehicle. The air quality sensor detects increased levels of contaminants in the outside air.
When the air quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger
compartment is recirculated, i.e. no outside air enters the vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger
compartment air.
NOTE
Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air filter replacement intervals.
