Multifilter with air
quality sensor
(option)
Certain cars are equipped
with a "Multifilter" and
air quality sensor. The
Multifilter separates gases and particles, thus
reducing the volume of odours and pollutants
entering the car. The air quality sensor detects
increased levels of contaminants in the outside
air. When the air quality sensor detects contam-
inated outside air, the air intake is closed and
the air in the compartment is recirculated. The
Multifilter also cleans the air recirculating in the
compartment.
When the air quality sensor is active, the green
AUT LED lights in .
Operation
Press to activate the air quality
sensor (normal setting).
Or:
Select one of the following three functions by
pressing repeatedly.
1. The AUT LED lights. The air quality
sensor is now activated.
2. No LED lights. Recirculation is not activated
unless needed to cool in a warm climate.
3. The LED MAN lights. Recirculation is
now activated.
Keep in mind the following:
• Make it a rule to have the air quality
sensor activated at all times.
• Recirculation is limited in cold climates
to avoid misting.
• If misting occurs, you should deactivate
the air quality sensor.
• If misting occurs, you can use the defroster
functions for the windscreen, side
windows and rear window. See page 55.
• Follow the Volvo service program for the
recommended replacement interval of the
Multifilter. If the car is used in environ-
ments where more contaminants are
present, it may be necessary to change the
Multifilter more often.
