2007 Volvo S80 Owner's Manual - Page 118

For a description of the menu system, see page 115. Temperature control The temperatures on the driver and passenger sides can be set independently. When the vehicle is started, the most recent setting is resumed. NOTE Heating or cooling cannot be speeded up by selecting a higher/lower temperature than the actual temperature required. A/C - ON/OFF The air conditioning is controlled automatically by the system when the ON light is on. This cools/heats and dehumidifies the incoming air. When the OFF light is on, the air conditioning is always disengaged. Other functions are still controlled automatically. When defroster is selected, the air conditioning system is set for maximum blower speed and dehumidification. Defroster This function defrosts/deices the windshield and front side windows. The indicator light in the defroster button lights when the function is active. Blower speed increases automatically and the air conditioning will switch on (if not already on and if the passenger compartment blower is not turned off) to dehumidify the air in the passenger compartment. Recirculation will not function while defrost is engaged. The climate system will return to its previous settings when the defroster function is switched off. Recirculation/air quality system Recirculation This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, 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 function is activated.
