Set the function selector to and move the blower control to the maximum speed position (as far to
the right as possible). When the windows have cleared, set the blower at a lower speed or in the position.
Additional information
● The air conditioning system will function best if it is used regularly (at least once a month).
● Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield under the rear edge of the hood free of
snow.
● Water under the vehicle in hot weather can be the result of condensation from the air conditioning
system and is quite normal.
● The air conditioning is disengaged when the blower is set at 0 and the speed of the vehicle is less than
30 mph (50 km/h).
● The air conditioning system functions only at temperatures above 45°F (7°C).
● Recirculation : Choose this position if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke etc.
or to heat/cool the car quickly. In this position, very little air is drawn into the passenger compartment
from outside. Do not leave the system in this mode for more than 10-15 minutes since the air inside the
car will become stale and condensation will form on the windows. The temperature can be controlled
with the temperature dials.
● If the panel vents are open, a certain amount of air will always flow through, regardless of the position
the function dial is in. To increase the flow of air to either the floor or the windows, close the panel
vents. The outer vents can be opened to avoid mist on the side windows.
● The panel vents may emit some condensation when the air conditioning is initially switched on and is
quite normal. This may occur if the ambient temperature and humidity are high.
● The temperature sensor (located at the top center of the dashboard) should not be covered in any way
as this could cause incorrect information to be sent to the ECC system.
● The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration.
Faults in the ECC system
The and lights will flash for approximately 20 seconds if a fault is detected in the ECC system.
If this flashing recurs the next time the system is switched on, the climate control unit should be checked
by an authorized Volvo dealer.
