CAUTION

The seat cushion of the integrated child
restraint* must be in the stowed position
before the rear seat backrest can be folded
down.

The armrest* in the center seat must be
raised before the seat backrest is folded
down.

The ski hatch must be closed before the seat
backrest is folded down.

NOTE

The front seats may need to be pushed for-
ward and/or the backrest adjusted so that the
rear seat backrests can be fully lowered.

Folding down backrests with the
electric backrest folding function*

If the vehicle is equipped with the electric rear
seat backrest fold-down function, the buttons in
the cargo compartment can be used to fold down
the backrests. It is also possible to fold down the
rear seat using the handle on the top of the seat.

WARNING

Before using the electric fold-down function,

be sure that no one is sitting in or is near the

rear seat, that there are no objects on the rear

seat and that the backrest is not obstructed in

any way.

Folding backrests with the buttons in the
cargo compartment

The vehicle must be stationary and the tailgate
must be open before a backrest can be folded
down. Make sure that the rear seat is unoccupied
and that there are no objects on the seat.

1. Fold down the center seat's head restraint

manually.

2. Press and hold one of the electric fold-down

buttons. The buttons are marked L (left back-
rest section) and R (right backrest section).

3. The backrests will release from the locks.

The head restraint will fold down first and
then the backrest will automatically fold
down to the horizontal position.

Folding the backrest with the handle in the
rear seat

Make sure that the rear seat is unoccupied and
that there are no objects on the seat.

Fold down the center seat's head restraint
manually.

Pull the handle in the vehicle's left or right
rear seat backrest forward to fold down the

Folding the backrests manually

If the vehicle only has the manual backrest fold-
down function, fold down the right or left section
of the seat using the handle in the rear seat.

Make sure that the rear seat is unoccupied and
that there are no objects on the seat.

manually.

Pull up the handle on the backrest 

 while

folding down the backrest. The handle for the
head restraint will be automatically pulled up
when the backrest is lowered. A red indicator
light near the backrest lock 

 indicates that

the backrest is no longer locked.

NOTE

When the backrest is folded down, the head
restraint may come in contact with the seat
cushion of the seat being folded down. Adjust
the head restraint of the seat being folded
down to help prevent damage to the uphols-
tery.

3. The backrest lock will release and the back-

rest will automatically fold down to the hori-
zontal position.

Folding up the backrest

To fold up the backrest to the upright position
manually:

1. Move the backrest upward/rearward.

2. Press the backrest until it locks into position.

3. Fold up the head restraints manually.

4. Adjust the center head restraint if necessary.

WARNING

When the backrest is restored to an upright

position, the red indicator should no longer be

visible. If it is still visible, the backrest is not

locked in place.

WARNING

Make sure that the rear seat backrest and

head restraint are locked securely in place

after the seat is folded up.
The head restraints at the outer seats must

always be raised when there is a passenger in

one of these spots of the rear seat.

Climate control sensors

The climate system has a number of sensors to
help regulate the climate settings in the vehicle.

Location of the sensors

Humidity sensor - in the rearview mirror con-
sole.
Ambient temperature sensor - in the right-
side door mirror.
Sunlight sensors - on the upper side of the
dashboard.
Passenger compartment temperature sensor
- near the buttons in the center console.

NOTE

Do not cover or block the sensors with cloth-
ing or other objects.

On vehicles equipped with the Interior Air Quality
System*, there is also an air quality sensor in the
climate system's air intake.

Climate (p. 202)

•

Interior Air Quality System* (p. 206)

Perceived temperature

The climate control system regulates the climate
in the passenger compartment based on per-
ceived temperature, not actual temperature.

The selected passenger compartment tempera-
ture is based on the physical perception of the
current ambient temperature, airflow speed,
humidity, sunlight in the passenger compartment,
etc.

The system has a sunlight sensor that detects
which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shining
on and adjusts the temperature accordingly. This
means that the temperature of the air coming out
of the vents may be different for the left and right
sides, even if the temperature setting is the same
for both sides.

Air quality

The materials used in the passenger compart-
ment and air filtering system have been selected
to ensure a high level of air quality in the passen-
ger compartment.

Materials used in the passenger
compartment

The materials in the passenger compartment are
designed to be pleasant and comfortable, even
for people with asthma or allergies.

The materials have been developed and tested to
minimize dust in the passenger compartment and
make it easier to keep clean.

The mats in both the passenger compartment
and cargo compartment can be easily removed
for cleaning.

Use Volvo-recommended cleaning agents and
car care products to clean the interior.

Air filtering systems

In addition to the passenger compartment filter,
the Clean Zone Interior Package* and Interior Air
Quality System* also help maintain high air qual-
ity in the passenger compartment.

Clean Zone Interior Package*

Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) is a series
of modifications that filters even more allergy and
asthma-inducing substances from the passenger
compartment.

CZIP includes the following:

•

An enhanced function that starts the blower
when the vehicle is unlocked using the
remote key. The blower will then fill the pas-
senger compartment with fresh air. The func-
tion starts when required and switches off
automatically after a period of time or when
one of the passenger compartment doors is
opened. The amount of time the blower runs
gradually decreases due to reduced need up
until the vehicle is 4 years old.

•

The fully automatic Interior Air Quality
System (IAQS).

Interior Air Quality System*

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

IAQS is part of the Clean Zone Interior Package
(CZIP) and removes air contaminants such as
particles, hydrocarbons, nitric oxides and ground-
level ozone.

If the system's air quality sensors detect contami-
nants in the outside air, the air intake closes and
air recirculation is activated.

NOTE

To ensure optimal air quality in the passenger
compartment, the air quality sensor should
always be engaged.

Recirculation is limited in cold weather to pre-
vent fogging.

In the event of fogging, use the defroster
functions for the windshield, side windows
and rear window.

Passenger compartment air filter

All air entering the passenger compartment
through the climate control system intake is fil-
tered.

Replacing the passenger compartment
filter

To maintain the high performance of the climate
control system, the filter must be replaced regu-
larly. Follow Volvo's service schedule for recom-
mended replacement intervals. When driving in
areas with a lot of smog, dust, etc., the filter may
need to be changed more frequently.

NOTE

There are two types of passenger compart-
ment filters. Make sure that the correct filter
is installed.

Air distribution

The climate system distributes incoming air
through a number of vents in the passenger
compartment.

Automatic and manual air distribution

When the auto-climate feature is on, air distribu-
tion is regulated automatically. Air distribution can
also be controlled manually.

Adjustable air vents

Certain air vents in the vehicle are adjustable,
which means they can be opened/closed and the
direction of the air flow from the vent can be
adjusted.

Location of adjustable air vents in the passenger com-
partment.

2-zone system - four vents on the dashboard
and one on each of the pillars between the
front and rear doors.
