· RECIRCULATION: Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke,
etc or to heat/cool the car quickly. When Recirculation is activated, very little air is drawn into the
passenger compartment from the outside. If your windows begin to fog or mist, check that the
recirculation function is NOT engaged.
NOTE: When driving with the sun roof or windows open, to help maintain stable passenger
compartment temperature, use the blower control to manually regulate the blower speed.
· 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
and open the outer vents.
· 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 sunlight 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.
Difficult weather conditions
When driving in very humid conditions, heavy rain, sleet, etc., it may be better to use the manual rather
than the automatic setting to defrost the windows. Set the mode selector to "Defrost"
or "Defrost/
floor" and the fan speed to mid-range. Also shut the center air vents.
Faults in the ECC system
The RECIRCULATION ON and AC OFF 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 retailer.
