Actual Temperature - Ecc - Volvo V70 Owner's Manual

Misting on window interiors
A good way to reduce the problem of misting on
the insides of the windscreen and other windows
is to clean them. Use a normal window cleaner.
Bear in mind that you must clean them more often
if someone smokes in the car.
Ice and snow
Remove ice and snow from the climate control
air intake (the grille between the bonnet and the
windscreen).
Particle filter
Make sure the particle filter is replaced regularly.
Consult your Volvo workshop.

Actual temperature - ECC

The temperature you select corresponds to the
physical experience with reference to air speed,
humidity, exposure to sun, etc. which affect the
interior and exterior of the car.
Sensors - ECC
The sun sensor is on the upper portion of the
dashboard. Remember not to cover it. Do not
cover the passenger compartment temperature
sensor on the climate control panel.
Your climate control system - useful hints
Side windows and sunroof
For the air conditioning (A/C) system to
operate satisfactorily the side windows and sun
roof should be closed. Remember not to block
the evacuation channels on the parcel shelf.
Acceleration
The air conditioning system switches off
temporarily at full acceleration. You may feel a
temporary rise in temperature.
Condensation
In warm weather, condensation from the air
conditioning system may drip under the car.
This is normal.
Fault tracing
Your Volvo workshop has the instruments and
tools required for any fault tracing or repair of
your climate control system. Entrust checks and
repairs only to trained personnel.
Refrigerant
Refrigerant R134a is in the air conditioning
system. This contains no chlorine, which
means it is harmless to the ozone layer.
Use only R134a when topping up/refilling
refrigerant. This work should be performed by
an accredited workshop.
Fuel economy - Electronic
Climate Control (ECC)
With ECC, the air conditioning system is
controlled automatically and is used just
enough to cool the passenger compartment and
dehumidify the incoming air. This provides
better fuel economy compared to conventional
systems where the air conditioning cools the air
to just above freezing point.
Fan function to prevent
battery discharge
When the engine is off (and if the ignition key
is in position I or II), the fan is automatically
switched off. To activate the fan, turn the
control and set the desired speed. After two
minutes, the fan will slow to a lower speed.
This is one way of preventing the battery from
becoming discharged when the engine is off.
