Air conditioning

The air conditioning cools and dehumidifies
incoming air as required.

In drive mode (p. 270) PURE
the AC is preset not to start.

When the lamp in the AC but-
ton illuminates, the air condi-
tioning is controlled by the sys-
tem's automatic function.

When the lamp in the AC button is switched off
the air conditioning is disconnected. Other func-
tions are still controlled automatically. When the
max. defroster function (p. 134) is activated, the
air conditioning is switched on automatically so
that the air is dehumidified at the maximum set-
ting.

Demisting and defrosting the

windscreen

Max. defroster is used to quickly remove misting
and ice from the windscreen and side windows.

Air flowing to the windows. The
light in the defroster button illu-
minates when the function is
active.

The following also takes place when the function
is active in order to provide maximum dehumidifi-
cation in the passenger compartment:

•

the air conditioning is automatically engaged

•

recirculation and the air quality system are
automatically disengaged.

NOTE

The noise level increases as the fan is operat-
ing at max.

When the defroster is switched off the climate
control returns to the previous settings.

In drive mode PURE, activation of the defroster
function may cause the internal combustion
engine to start and change to drive mode
(p. 270) HYBRID.

Air distribution - recirculation

Select recirculation to shut out bad air, exhaust
gases etc. from the passenger compartment, i.e.
no outside air is taken into the car when this
function is activated.

When recirculation is engaged
the orange lamp in the button
illuminates.

IMPORTANT

If the air in the car is recirculated for too long
then there is a risk of misting on the insides
of the windows.

Timer

With the timer function activated the system will
exit manually activated recirculation mode
according to a time that depends on the outside
temperature. This reduces the risk of ice, misting
and bad air.

It is possible to activate/deactivate the function
in the menu system MY CAR. For a description of
the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 115).

NOTE

When max. defroster is selected, recirculation
is always deactivated.

General information about

preconditioning

The climate in the car's passenger compartment
can be preconditioned (acclimatised) before
departure, in both hot and cold climates.

In different cases, the preconditioning uses the
car's fuel-driven and electrically-driven heaters
and the car's AC system:

•

In a cold climate the fuel-driven heater heats
both the engine and the passenger compart-
ment - the electrically-driven heater only
heats the passenger compartment before
departure.

•

In a hot climate the AC system cools the
passenger compartment.

Preconditioning the car reduces wear.

During preconditioning in warm weather, conden-
sation from the air conditioning may drip under
the car. This is normal.

NOTE

During preconditioning of the passenger
compartment, the car works to reach comfort
temperature and not the temperature set in
the climate control system.

NOTE

The compressor can operate and cool the
hybrid battery even when passenger compart-
ment cooling is not selected or required. The
compressor emits noise.

NOTE

The car's doors and windows should be
closed during the preconditioning of the pas-
senger compartment.

Options for preconditioning

Select from the following:

•

parking inside (p. 139)

•

parking outside (p. 139).

Preconditioning can then be activated:

•

directly (p. 140) via the information display,
remote control key

* or mobile*

•

with timer (p. 142).

NOTE

Volvo recommends that you activate precon-
ditioning via the timer, and then have the car
connected to the mains power circuit.

Connection to the mains power circuit

The car can be preconditioned both when con-
nected (p. 308) and not connected

* to the mains

power circuit.

When the car is plugged into the mains
power circuit

•

Heating/cooling can last up to 50 minutes.

•

Seat and steering wheel heating can be acti-
vated during preconditioning.

When the car is not plugged into the mains
power circuit*

•

Heating can last up to 50 minutes.

•

Cooling takes place for 2-3 minutes.

During preconditioning, the electrically-driven
heater and AC system use power from the hybrid
battery. If the car is not connected to the mains
power circuit during preconditioning then the
mileage for electric operation is reduced accord-
ingly.

A charging station which is not always active, e.g. because of a timer, may cause loss of function for preconditioning.

General information about heaters

The car is equipped with electrically-driven and
fuel-driven heater. The engine needs to be kept
warm in order to reduce the environmental
impact when it is started. These heaters are
used in order to achieve the correct operating
temperature for the engine or to generate suffi-
cient heat in the passenger compartment.

Fuel-driven heater (p. 146)

Electrically-driven heater

The car is equipped with electrically-driven and
fuel-driven heater (p. 146).

The electrically-driven heater cannot be con-
trolled manually but is activated automatically
when required.

NOTE

When the electrically-driven heater is in use,
the charging time for the hybrid battery will be
extended. The time required for heating the
car is mainly determined by the outside tem-
perature.

General information about heaters (p. 146)

Fuel-driven heater

The car is equipped with electrically-driven
(p. 146) and fuel-driven heater.

In colder weather, the car's fuel-driven heater can
be activated during warming-up. The heater starts
automatically when extra heat is required and is
switched off automatically when not required.

NOTE

When the fuel-driven auxiliary heater is active,
exhaust fumes may be given off from the
right-hand wheel housing, which is perfectly
normal.

If you do not want the car's fuel-driven heater to
start during preconditioning, activate

Indoor

parking

, see Preconditioning - parking inside

(p. 139). However, this may prolong the warming-
up time.

The fuel-driven heater cannot be started during
driving or preconditioning if the outside tempera-
ture exceeds 15 °C. The heater's maximum run-
ning time is 50 minutes during preconditioning.

If the fuel level in the tank is too low then the
fuel-driven heater is prevented from starting, with
inadequate heating as a result.

CLIMATE CONTROL

147

NOTE

Make sure that there is sufficient fuel in the
car's regular fuel tank when driving at temper-
atures below +15 °C.

WARNING

Do not use the fuel-driven auxiliary heater

indoors in unventilated areas. Exhaust fumes

are given off.

WARNING

Fuel which spills out could be ignited. Switch

Parking on a hill

If the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of the
car should point downhill to ensure that there is a
supply of fuel to the fuel-driven heater.

Starter battery and fuel

If the starter battery has insufficient charge or if
the fuel level is too low, the heater will be
