How to use the air conditioner:
1 Fan
Position 4 for rapid cooling.
2 AIR COND
Start the air conditioning compressor by turning the control knob clockwise toward MAX.
For rapid cooling, position the knob into the orange range beyond MAX. After desired temperature is
reached re-position the control knob into the blue range.
At cruising speeds, the knob should be kept within the blue range. If it remains in the orange range, icing
may occur resulting in decreased cooling capacity.
3 Recirculation
Push in for rapid cooling and during high humidity conditions.
4 TEMP
When using the air conditioner for cooling, the TEMP control should be set to COOL position, fully left.
Use the AIR COND control to regulate the temperature.
To obtain rapid cooling, all windows must be closed and buttons
discharged through the four dash outlets which should be fully open.
Note: For rapid removal of condensation from inside glass surfaces, the air conditioner can be
switched on even when not required for interior cooling. The air conditioner will dehumidify the air
inside the vehicle.
Have your Volvo dealer check the system for correct operation yearly. The air conditioning system
should be operated periodically to ensure trouble-free performance year round.
