03 Climate 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). 03 Fog on the inside of the windows The defroster function should be used to remove fog or mist from the inside of the windows. Keeping the windows clean with a commercially available window washing spray will also help prevent fogging or misting 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. 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. Climate control 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. 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. NOTE There are different types of cabin air filters. Ensure that the correct type is installed. 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. Display The display above the climate control panel shows the climate settings that have been made. Ice and snow Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow. Personal settings There are two functions in the climate system that can be set to your preferences: • Blower speed to Auto mode (models with ECC only). • Timer controlled recirculation of the air in the passenger compartment. 92
