Trip computer – Supplementary

information

General information for both Analog and Digi-

tal trip computer functions.

Average fuel consumption
Fuel consumption since the last time this

function was reset.

Average speed
The vehicle's average speed since the last

time this function was reset.

Current fuel consumption
Current fuel consumption is calculated

approximately once a second. When the vehi-

cle is moving at low speed, fuel consumption

is displayed per unit of time. At higher

speeds, it is displayed in terms of distance.
Miles or kilometers can be displayed, see the

heading "Changing units".

Distance to empty
This function shows the approximate dis-

tance that can be driven on the fuel remaining

in the tank. When

Distance to empty

shows

"----", there is very little useable fuel remain-

ing in that tank; refuel as soon as possible.

The calculation is based on average fuel con-

sumption during the last 20 miles (30 km) of

driving and the amount of fuel remaining in

the tank (the accuracy of this figure may vary

if your driving style changes). An economical

driving style will generally increase this dis-

tance.

Digital speed display*
Speed is expressed in the unit not used by

the instrument panel's speedometer e.g., if

the normal speedometer is in mph, the trip

computer will display in the speed in km/h

and vice versa.

Trip computer – Trip statistics

Trip information from previous trips regarding

average fuel consumption and average speed

is stored and can be displayed in the form of

a bar chart.

Function

Trip statistics

Each bar represents a driving distance of

1 mile or 10 miles, depending on the current

scale; the bar at the far right shows the value

for the current mile/10 miles.
Use TUNE to change between 1 mile and

10 miles; the marker at the right will also

change according to the scale selected.

Settings
Settings can be made in the MY CAR menu

system as follows:

•

Start new trip

: press ENTER to erase all

pervious statistics. Exit the menu by

pressing EXIT.

•

Reset for every driving cycle

: select by

pressing ENTER. Exit the menu by press-

ing EXIT.

era-

ses all trip statistics automatically if the igni-

tion is switched off for at least 4 hours. When

the engine is restarted, new statistics will be

stored.
To get new statistics if the engine is restarted

before 4 hours have elapsed, the existing

ones have to be erased manually by selecting

Air conditioning

Climate – sensors (p. 107)

•

The air conditioning can be switched

off, but to ensure the best possible cli-

mate comfort in the passenger com-

partment and to prevent the windows

from misting, it should always be on.

•

In warm weather, a small amount of

water may accumulate under the car

when it has been parked. This water is

condensation from the A/C system

and is normal.

Fog on the inside of the windows
The defroster function (p. 112) should be

used to remove fog or mist from the inside of

the windows. Keeping the windows clean

with a commercially available window wash-

ing spray will also help prevent fogging or

misting.

Temporary shut-off of the air
conditioning
The air conditioning (p. 112) is momentarily

disengaged during full acceleration or when

driving uphill with a trailer. This may result in

a temporary increase in cabin temperature.

Ice and snow
Always keep the air intake grille at the base of

the windshield free of snow.

Climate system maintenance
Special tools and equipment are required to

maintain and carry out repairs on the climate

system. Work of this type should only be

done by a trained and qualified Volvo service

technician.

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 air con-

ditioning system contains 1.76 lbs (800 g) of

R134a. The systems uses PAG oil.

Climate – menu settings (p. 109)

Climate – sensors

The climate system utilizes a number of sen-

sors to help regulate the temperature and

humidity level in the passenger compartment.

Sensor location

•

The sunlight sensor is located on the top

side of the dashboard.

The sunlight sensor monitors which side of

the car that is most exposed to sunlight.

This can mean that the temperature may

differ between the right and left-side air

vents, even if the temperatures set for both

sides of the passenger compartment are

the same.

•

The temperature sensor for the passen-

ger compartment is located below the cli-

mate control panel.

•

The outside (ambient) temperature sensor

is located on the door mirror.

•

The humidity sensor* is located in the

interior rearview mirror.

Do not cover or block the sensors with

clothing or other objects.

Air quality

The passenger compartment has been

designed to be pleasant and comfortable,

even for people with asthma and contact

allergies.

Passenger compartment filter
Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at

the recommended intervals. Please refer to

your Warranty and Service Records Informa-

tion booklet, or consult a trained and qualified

Volvo service technician for these intervals.

The filter should be replaced more often when

driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The

filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should

always be replaced with a new one.

There are different types of cabin air filters.

Ensure that the correct type is installed.

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)
A multifilter helps reduce gases and particles

in the incoming air, thereby reducing the lev-

els of odors and contaminants entering the

vehicle. The air quality sensor detects

increased levels of contaminants in the out-

side air. When the air quality sensor detects

contaminated outside air, the air intake closes

and the air inside the passenger compart-

ment is recirculated, i.e., no outside air enters

the vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculated

passenger compartment air.

tion in Cleaning the interior (p. 310).

Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air fil-

ter replacement intervals.

Materials used in the cabin
The materials used in the cabin have been

developed to help minimize the amount of

dust and make the cabin easier to keep

clean. All floor mats can be easily removed

for cleaning. Use car cleaning products rec-

ommended by Volvo. See also the informa-

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)*

The Air Quality System (IAQS) consists of a

multifilter and an air quality sensor. The filter

helps remove gases and particles from the

incoming air, thereby reducing the amounts of

odors and contaminants entering the vehicle.

The air quality (p. 108) sensor detects

increased levels of contaminants in the out-

contaminated outside air, the air intake closes

and the air inside the passenger compart-

ment is recirculated, i.e., no outside air enters
