Perceived temperature

The climate control system regulates the climate
in the passenger compartment based on the
perceived temperature, not on actual tempera-
ture.
The temperature you select in the passenger
compartment corresponds to the physically per-
ceived temperature as affected by factors such
as the ambient temperature, air speed, humidity,
solar radiation, etc. in and around the car at the
time.
The system includes a sun sensor which detects
on which side the sun is shining into the passen-
ger compartment. This means that the tempera-
ture can differ between the right and left-hand
side's air vents despite the controls being set for
the same temperature on both sides.

CLIMATE CONTROL
Air quality
The materials selected for the passenger com-
partment and the air cleaning system ensure that
the air quality in the passenger compartment is
high.
Materials in the passenger compartment
The interior of the passenger compartment is
designed to be pleasant and comfortable, even
for people with contact allergies and for asthma
sufferers.
Tested materials have been developed in order to
minimise the quantity of dust in the passenger
compartment and to contribute to making the
passenger compartment easier to keep clean.
The carpets in both the passenger compartment
and the cargo area are removable and easy to
remove and clean.
Use cleaning agents and car care products rec-
ommended by Volvo to clean the interior.
Air cleaning system
In addition to the passenger compartment filter,
the modifications for Clean Zone Interior
Package* and the air quality system Interior Air
Quality System* also help to maintain high air
quality in the passenger compartment.
