1985 Volvo 740 GL, GLE, Turbo
Additional information and tips
The air conditioning compressor is engaged only if the temperature is above 46°F (+8°C).
In all three air conditioning positions the fan runs at speed 1 if the switch is at "0". This is a safety
measure to prevent formation of ice in the system.
When the outside air isn't fresh
When the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke, etc. (as when driving through a tunnel),
move the lever to
compartment from outside. Do not, however, leave the lever in this position for more than 10-15
minutes, since hardly any fresh air is being supplied.
Regulate the temperature with the temperature control lever.
