Trip computer – Supplementary

information

General information for both Analog and Digital
trip computer functions.

Average fuel consumption

Fuel consumption since the last time this func-
tion was reset.

Average speed

The vehicle's average speed since the last time
this function was reset.

Current fuel consumption

Current fuel consumption is calculated approxi-
mately once a second. When the vehicle is mov-
ing at low speed, fuel consumption is displayed
per unit of time. At higher speeds, it is displayed
in terms of distance.

Miles or kilometers can be displayed, see the
heading "Changing units".

Distance to empty

This function shows the approximate distance
that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the
tank. When

Distance to empty

shows "----",

there is very little useable fuel remaining in that
tank; refuel as soon as possible. The calculation
is based on average fuel consumption during the
last 20 miles (30 km) of driving and the amount
of fuel remaining in the tank (the accuracy of this
figure may vary if your driving style changes). An

economical driving style will generally increase
this distance.

See Economical driving (p. 282) for information
about driving economically.

Digital speed display

Speed is expressed in the unit not used by the
instrument panel's speedometer e.g., if the nor-
mal speedometer is in mph, the trip computer will
display in the speed in km/h and vice versa.

CLIMATE

120

Climate – general information

The vehicle is equipped with Electronic Climate
Control (ECC) (p. 125) that cools, heats or
dehumidifies the air in the passenger compart-
ment.

Air conditioning

•

The air conditioning can be switched off,
but to ensure the best possible climate
comfort in the passenger compartment
and to prevent the windows from misting,
it should always be on.

•

In warm weather, a small amount of water
may accumulate under the car when it
has been parked. This water is condensa-
tion from the A/C system and is normal.

Side windows and moonroof

To ensure that the air conditioning works opti-
mally, the side windows, and the optional moon-
roof should be closed.

Fog on the inside of the windows

The defroster function (p. 128) should be used
to remove fog or mist from the inside of the win-
dows. Keeping the windows clean with a com-
mercially available window washing spray will also
help prevent fogging or misting.

Vents in the parcel shelf

Climate – sensors (p. 121)

The air vents at the rear of the parcel shelf
should never be obstructed.

Temporary shut-off of the air
conditioning

The air conditioning (p. 128) is momentarily dis-
engaged during full acceleration or when driving
uphill with a trailer. This may result in a temporary
increase in cabin temperature.

Ice and snow

Always keep the air intake grille at the base of
the windshield free of snow.

Climate system maintenance

Special tools and equipment are required to
maintain and carry out repairs on the climate sys-
tem. Work of this type should only be done by a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

Refrigerant

Volvo cares about the environment. The air condi-
tioning system in your car contains a CFC-free
refrigerant – R134a. This substance will not
deplete the ozone layer. The air conditioning sys-
tem contains 1.76 lbs (800 g) of R134a. The
systems uses PAG oil.

* Option/accessory.

121

Climate – sensors

The climate system utilizes a number of sensors
to help regulate the temperature and humidity
level in the passenger compartment.

Sensor location

•

The sunlight sensor is located on the top
side of the dashboard.

The sunlight sensor monitors which side of
the car that is most exposed to sunlight. This
can mean that the temperature may differ
between the right and left-side air vents, even
if the temperatures set for both sides of the
passenger compartment are the same.

•

The temperature sensor for the passenger
compartment is located below the climate
control panel.

•

The outside (ambient) temperature sensor is
located on the door mirror.

•

The humidity sensor

* is located in the interior

rearview mirror.

Do not cover or block the sensors with cloth-
ing or other objects.

Air quality

The passenger compartment has been designed
to be pleasant and comfortable, even for people
with asthma and contact allergies.

Passenger compartment filter

Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the
recommended intervals. Please refer to your War-
ranty and Service Records Information booklet, or
consult a trained and qualified Volvo service tech-
nician 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.

There are different types of cabin air filters.
Ensure that the correct type is installed.

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)

A multifilter helps reduce gases and particles in
the incoming air, thereby reducing the levels of
odors and contaminants entering the vehicle. The
air quality sensor detects increased levels of con-
taminants in the outside air. When the air quality
sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air
intake closes and the air inside the passenger
compartment is recirculated, i.e., no outside air
enters the vehicle. The filter also cleans recircula-
ted passenger compartment air.

CLIMATE

* Option/accessory.

122

Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air filter
replacement intervals.

Materials used in the cabin

The materials used in the cabin have been devel-
oped to help minimize the amount of dust and
make the cabin easier to keep clean. All floor
mats can be easily removed for cleaning. Use car
cleaning products recommended by Volvo. See
also the information in Cleaning the interior
(p. 361).

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)*

The Air Quality System (IAQS) consists of a mul-
tifilter and an air quality sensor. The filter helps
remove gases and particles from the incoming
air, thereby reducing the amounts of odors and
contaminants entering the vehicle.

The air quality (p. 121) sensor detects increased
levels of contaminants in the outside air. When
the air quality sensor detects contaminated out-
side air, the air intake closes and the air inside
the passenger compartment is recirculated, i.e.,
no outside air enters the vehicle. The filter also
cleans recirculated passenger compartment air.
When the AUTO (p. 127) button is depressed
the air quality sensor is always engaged.

Activate or deactivate this function in

Climate

settings

Interior air quality system

•

The air quality sensor should always be
engaged in order to obtain the best air in
the passenger compartment.

•

Recirculation is limited in cold weather to
avoid fogging.

•

If the insides of the windows start fog-
ging, disengage the air quality sensor.
Use the defroster function to increase
airflow to the front, side, and rear win-
dows.
