The indicator is visible in the climate view in
the centre display.
The indicator is visible in the climate row
when the climate view is not open.

If the conditions have not been met then the

text is white. When all conditions

have been met, this is indicated by the text
changing colour to blue.

Conditions that are checked:

•

That all doors and the tailgate are closed.

•

That all side windows and the panorama
roof

* are closed.

•

That the air quality system Interior Air Quality
System

* is activated.

•

That the ventilation fan is activated.

•

That the air recirculation is deactivated.

NOTE

Clean Zone does not indicate that the air
quality is good. It only indicates that the con-
ditions for good air quality have been met.

Passenger compartment filter

All air entering the car's passenger compartment
is cleaned with a filter.

Replacing the passenger compartment
filter

To maintain high climate system performance,
the filter must be changed at regular intervals.
Follow the Volvo Service Programme for the rec-
ommended replacement intervals. If the car is
used in a severely contaminated environment, it
may be necessary to replace the filter more often.

NOTE

There are different types of passenger com-
partment filter. Make sure that the correct fil-
ter is fitted.

Clean Zone Interior Package

Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) comprises
a series of modifications that keep the passen-
ger compartment even clearer from allergy and
asthma-inducing substances.

The following is included:

•

An enhanced fan function that means that
the fan starts when the car is unlocked with
the remote control key. The fan fills the pas-
senger compartment with fresh air. The func-
tion starts when required and is disengaged
automatically after a time or when one of the
passenger compartment doors is opened.
The amount of time the fan runs is reduced
gradually due to reduced need up until the
car is 4 years old.

•

The fully automatic air quality system Interior
Air Quality System (IAQS).

Interior Air Quality System

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully auto-
matic air quality system that separates gases
and particles to reduce the levels of odours and
contaminants in the passenger compartment.

IAQS is a part of the Clean Zone Interior
Package (CZIP) and cleans the air in the passen-
ger compartment from contaminants such as par-
ticles, hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides and ground-
level ozone.

If the air quality sensor senses that the outside
air is contaminated, the air intake is closed and
air recirculation is activated.

NOTE

The air quality sensor must always be enabled
to ensure the best air in the passenger com-
partment.

In a cold climate recirculation is limited so as
to prevent misting.

In the event of misting, the defrost functions
for windscreen, side windows and rear win-
dow should be used.

Activating/deactivating the air quality
sensor

It is possible to set whether the air quality sensor
should be activated/deactivated.

1. Press

Settings

in the top view in the centre

display.

2. Press

Climate

3. Select

Air Quality Sensor

to activate/deac-

tivate the air quality sensor.

The climate control system distributes the
incoming air via a number of different vents in
the passenger compartment.

Overview of air distribution

zone climate.

Automatic and manual air distribution

With auto-regulated climate running the air distri-
bution takes place automatically. If necessary, the
air distribution can be controlled manually.

Adjustable air vents

There are 8 or 10

* adjustable air vents in the

passenger compartment depending on the num-
ber of seats.
