Demisting And Defrosting The Wind- Screen; Air Distribution - Recirculation - Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid Owner's Manual

Demisting and defrosting the
windscreen
Max. defroster is used to quickly remove mist-
ing and ice from the windscreen and side win-
dows.
Air flowing to the windows.
The light in the defroster but-
ton illuminates when the
function is active.
The following also takes place in order to pro-
vide maximum dehumidification in the pas-
senger compartment:
•
the air conditioning is automatically
engaged
•
recirculation and the air quality system
are automatically disengaged.
NOTE
The noise level increases as the fan is
operating at max.
When the defroster is switched off the climate
control returns to the previous settings.
In drive mode PURE, activation of the
defroster function may cause the internal
combustion engine to start and change to
drive mode (p. 258) HYBRID.

Air distribution - recirculation

Select recirculation to shut out bad air,
exhaust gases etc. from the passenger com-
partment, i.e. no outside air is taken into the
car when this function is activated.
When recirculation is
engaged the orange lamp in
the button illuminates.
IMPORTANT
If the air in the car recirculates for too long,
there is a risk of misting on the insides of
the windows.
Timer
With the timer function activated the system
will exit manually activated recirculation mode
according to a time that depends on the out-
side temperature. This reduces the risk of ice,
misting and bad air.
It is possible to activate/deactivate the func-
tion in the menu system MY CAR. For a
description of the menu system, see MY CAR
(p. 105).
NOTE
When max. defroster is selected, recircula-
tion is always deactivated.
