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

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.

Air mix (fresh air)

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.

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 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.
