disconnected.
NOTE! If the knob for the fan has been turned
so far that the left LED above the knob lights
up with an orange light, the fan and the air
conditioning system are switched off.
Rear window and door mirror
defrosters
Use this button to quickly
remove misting and ice from
the rear window and door
mirrors, see page 48 for fur-
ther information about this
function.
Defroster, windscreen and side
windows
Used to quickly remove
misting and ice from the
windscreen and side win-
dows. Air flows to the win-
dows at high speed. The
LED in the defroster button comes on when
this function is engaged.
When the function is selected the following
also takes place to provide maximum dehu-
midification of the air in the passenger com-
partment:
• the air conditioning (AC) is automatically
engaged (if the fan knob is in final
anticlockwise position then the air condi-
tioning is not engaged).
• recirculation is automatically disengaged.
When the defroster is switched off the
climate control returns to the previous set-
tings.

Air to windows
Air to head and body
Air to legs and feet
Press AUTO to return to
automatic air distribution.
AC – ON/OFF
The air conditioning system
is controlled automatically
by the system when the ON
LED is lit. This way, incom-
ing air is cooled and dehu-
midified sufficiently. When AC OFF is
selected and the OFF LED comes on, the air
conditioning system is always disengaged;
other functions are still controlled automati-
cally. The air conditioning system operates
down to approximately 0 °C.
Heated front seats
Do as follows for heated
front seat(s):
– Press once: High heat –
both LEDs in the switch
light up.
– Press twice: Low heat – one LED in the
switch lights up.
– Press three times: Heating switched off –
no LEDs in the switch light up.
An authorised Volvo workshop can adjust the
temperature.
Recirculation
Recirculation can be used to
shut out bad air, exhaust,
etc. from the passenger
compartment. The air in the
passenger compartment is
then recirculated, i.e. no air
from outside the car is taken
into the car when this func-
tion is activated.
If you allow the air in the car to recirculate,
there is a risk of icing and misting, especially
in winter.
The timer function (cars with Multifilter and air
quality sensor have no timer function) mini-
mises the risk for ice, misting and bad air.
