Misting windows Remove misting on the insides of the windows by primarily using the defroster function. To reduce the risk of misting, clean the windows with a normal window cleaning agent. Vents in the parcel shelf NOTE The air vents at the rear of the parcel shelf should never be obstructed. Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle 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 system. Work of this type should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. Refrigerant Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a. This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The air conditioning system contains 1.59 lbs (720 g) of R134a. The systems uses PAG oil. Passenger compartment filter Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. Please refer to your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet, or consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician 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. 119 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Climate system NOTE 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 contaminants 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 recirculated passenger compartment air. NOTE Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air filter replacement intervals.
