WARNING! |
Your Volvo is equipped with a heating system combined with air conditioning. Depending on which function you select, warm or cool/cold air is distributed to the different parts of the passenger compartment. A slight amount of condensation may be emitted from the air vents when the air conditioning is initially switched on. This can occur when both humidity and ambient temperature are high and is normal.
The center panel vents have an air mix function which allows fresh air to enter
the passenger compartment when the vents are
open (position B). This function is designed to allow you to direct cool air toward your
face while directing warmer air to the rest of the passenger compartment.
To warm/cool the compartment as quickly as possible, the air mix control should be in the closed position.
A. Open
B. Closed
C. Directing air flow horizontally
D. Directing air flow vertically
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
system contains 1.63 lbs (0.75 kg) R134a and uses ZXL 100PG (type PAG) oil.
NOTE: All maintenance on the climate
control systems should be carried out by an
authorized Volvo service technician only.

* Pressing the ON section of the button for more than 3 seconds activates a
timer function. Recirculation will then
always operate for 5 minute periods, after which
the button will flash to indicate that
Recirculation has automatically switched off. Pressing
the OFF button at any time during the 5 minute period will allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. Press the ON button again
for more than 3 seconds to return the button to
its original function (i.e., Recirculation will remain on until the OFF button is pressed).
** When the function selector is in the defrost setting, the
A/C system is always ON and the blower will function at
its highest speed if it is in the AUT position.
pg. 37 Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (Electronic Climate Control) |
Set the function selector and blower control to AUT and select the desired temperature. If the driver's side temperature selector is set to either the max heating or max cooling position, the blower will run at its maximum speed.
and move the blower control to the position AUT (as far
to the left as possible). The A/C system will be
on at this time even if the AC OFF button is depressed and the blower will run at
its maximum speed. When the windows have cleared, set the function selector in the
AUT position.
· The air conditioning system will function best if it is always left on.
· 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 20 mph (30 km/h).
· The air conditioning system functions only at temperatures above 32° F (0° C).
· 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: To help maintain stable passenger compartment temperature when driving with the sun roof open or convertible top down, or with the windows open, adjust blower speed and the temperature manually.
C70 Convertible the air conditioning switches off automatically when the convertible top is down. The temperature must then be adjusted manually.
· 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.
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.
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.
