Press the switch to turn the air conditioning on or off. The "ON" or "OFF" LED will light up to indicate if the system is switched on or off. Other functions will still be regulated automatically (if the AUTO switch is on). The air conditioning functions only at temperatures above 32° F (0° C). While the Defroster function is selected, the air conditioning is temporarily activated to dehumidify the air, even if you have manually switched the air conditioning off. This will only function if the blower is not switched off. Blower control Turn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the blower speed. Pressing the AUTO switch will automatically regulate blower speed and override manual adjustment. NOTE: Turning the blower control counterclockwise as far as possible (an orange LED next to the control will light up) will turn both the blower and the air conditioning off. pg. 50 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 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. 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 moonroof The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional moonroof 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. ECC maintenance All maintenance on the climate control systems should be carried out by an authorized Volvo service technician only. Refrigerant
