· The sunlight sensor (located at the top of the dashboard in the speaker frame at the passanger side)
should not be covered in any way as this could cause incorrect information to be sent to the ECC system.
· The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration.
Difficult weather conditions
When driving in very humid conditions, heavy rain, sleet, etc., it may be better to use the manual rather
than the automatic setting to defrost the windows. Set the function selector knob to "Defrost"
or
and the fan speed to mid-range. Also shut the center air vents.
Faults in the ECC system
If a fault is detected in the Electronic Climate Control system, the AC OFF lights will flash for
approximately 20 seconds.
If this flashing recurs the next time the system is switched on, the climate control unit should be checked
by an authorized Volvo retailer.

Electrically operated windows
The electrically operated windows are controlled by switches in the center console. In addition the driver
and the two rear seat passengers can operate their own windows, using the controls in their door
armrests. The starting (ignition) switch must be ON (position I or II) for the electrically operated
windows to function.
