Climate control system-general information

Condensation on the inside of the windows

Keeping the insides of the windows clean will help reduce the amount of condensation that forms on the windows. Use a
commercial window cleaning agent to clean the windows.
Ice and snow
Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.

Cabin air filter

Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. Please refer to your Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet, or consult your Volvo retailer for these intervals. The filter should be replaced more often
when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be replaced with a
new one.

Sensors

The sunlight sensor on the dashboard and passenger compartment temperature sensor in the ECC control panel should not
be covered in any way as this could cause incorrect information to be sent to the ECC system.
Parking the vehicle in warm weather
If your vehicle has been parked in the sun in warm weather, opening the windows and moonroof (option) for several
minutes before driving will help release the warm air from the passenger compartment. When the engine is running, close
the windows and moonroof and use the recirculation function for several minutes to enable the air conditioning to cool the
compartment as quickly as possible.
Windows and optional moonroof
The ECC system will function best if the windows and optional moonroof are closed. If you drive with the moonroof open,
we recommend that you manually adjust the temperature and blower control (the LED in the AUTO switch should be off).
