pg. 35 Heating, ventilation and air conditioning
Heating and air conditioning
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 cabin. 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. This is normal.
Cabin air filter (optional)
The cabin air filter must be changed every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) to ensure proper ventilation. Under
extreme conditions, the filter may need to be changed more often.
Remarks:
- If it has snowed, brush the snow away from the air inlet grille at the base of the windshield.
- A clean windshield will help avoid fogging.
