2005 VOLVO S40 Chapter 4 - Climate pg. 67 Climate General information 68 Manual climate control 70 Electronic climate control (ECC) 72 Air distribution 75 pg. 68 General information Air conditioning - A/C Your car is equipped with a climate control system that includes either manually adjustable air conditioning or optional Electronic Climate Control (ECC). The air conditioning system can be switched off, but for optimal air quality in the passenger compartment and to prevent the windows from fogging, the air conditioning should be left on - even in cool weather. NOTE: In warm weather, a small amount of water may accumulate under the car when it has been parked. This water is condensation from the A/C system and is normal. Ice and snow Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow. Climate control maintenance Your Volvo retailer has the tools and equipment required to maintain and carry out any necessary repairs on the climate system. Work of this type should only be done by an authorized 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 system contains 1.2 lbs (530 g) R134a (HFC 134a), and 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 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. NOTE: There are different types of cabin air filters. Ensure that the correct type is installed. Display The display above the climate control panel shows the climate settings that have been made.
