Heating and air conditioning
Volvo cares about the environment. Your Volvo is equipped with a heating system combined with air
conditioning. Depending on which function you select, warm or cool/cold air is distributed to the
different parts of the passenger compartment. A slight amount of condensation may be emitted from the
air vents when the air conditioning is initially switched on. This can occur when both humidity and
ambient temperature are high and is normal.

Refrigerant

Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free
refrigerant -R134a. This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The system contains 1.65 lbs (0.75
kg) R134a and uses ZXL 100PG (type PAG) oil.
