Operation:
Press to activate the air quality
sensor (normal setting).
Or:
– Select one of the following three functions
by repeatedly pressing
• MAN LED lit: Recirculation is now activat-
ed.
• No LED lit: Recirculation is not activated
unless needed to cool in a warm climate.
• AUT LED lit: The air quality sensor is now
activated.
Keep the following in mind:
• Make it a rule to have the air quality sensor
activated at all times.
• Recirculation is limited in cold weather to
avoid misting.
• If misting occurs, you should deactivate
the air quality sensor.
• If misting occurs, you can use the defrost-
er functions for the windscreen, side win-
dows and rear window.
• Follow the Volvo service programme 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.
3. Recirculation
Recirculation can be used to shut out bad air,
exhaust, etc. from the passenger compart-
ment. The air in the passenger compartment
is then recirculated, i.e. no air from outside
the car is taken into the car when this func-
tion is activated.
.
If you allow the air in the car to recirculate,
there is a risk of icing and misting, especially
in winter.
The timer function (cars with Multifilter and
air quality sensor have no timer function)
minimises the risk for ice, misting and bad
air.
Activate the function as follows:
– Press for more than 3 seconds. The
LED flashes for 5 seconds. The air recircu-
lates in the car for 3–12 minutes depend-
ing on the outside temperature.
– The timer function is activated each time
you press
