Air conditioning (standard on certain models)
How to use the air conditioner:

3 Recirculation

If your car is equipped with an air conditioner, the system contains CFC-12, a type of Freon®. CFC-12
is a gas which effects the ozone layer of the earth's atmosphere. Let your Volvo dealer check your air
conditioning system regularly for leakage.
The system contains 2.4 lbs (1.1 kg) CFC-12 Freon.
To obtain rapid cooling, all windows must be closed and buttons and out.
Cool air will then be discharged through the four dash outlets which should be fully open.
Note: For rapid removal of condensation from inside glass surfaces, the air conditioner can be
switched on even when not required for interior cooling. The air conditioner will dehumidify the air
inside the vehicle.
Water under the vehicle in hot weather can be the result of condensation from the air conditioning
system.
Have your Volvo dealer check the system for correct operation yearly. The air conditioning system
should be operated periodically to ensure troublefree performance year round.
