2001 VOLVO V70 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. 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 sun roof (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 sun roof and use the recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning to cool the compartment as quickly as possible. Windows and optional sun roof The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional sun roof are closed. If you drive with the sun roof 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. ECC maintenance All maintenance on the climate control systems should be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician only. 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 system contains 2.2 lbs (1000 g) R134a and uses PAG oil. 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. pg. 44 Electronic Climate Control (ECC) http://new.volvocars.com/ownersdocs/2001/2001_V70/01v70_03.htm[4/4/2013 10:38:34 PM]
