different temperatures for different parts of
the passenger compartment.

With 2-zone climate, the temperature in the
passenger compartment can be set separately
for the left and right-hand sides.

Climate control - sensors

The climate control system has a number of
sensors to help control the climate in the car.
Do not cover or block the sensors with cloth-
ing or other objects.

Sensor location

Sun sensor - on the upper side of the
instrument panel.
Moisture sensor - in the casing by the
interior rearview mirror.
Temperature sensor for the passenger
compartment - by the physical buttons in
the centre console.
Airborne particulate matter sensor

– on

the underside of the glovebox.
Outside temperature sensor - in the right-
hand door mirror.

With the Interior Air Quality System

there is

also an air quality sensor that is fitted into the
climate control system air intake.

Perceived temperature

The climate control system regulates the cli-
mate in the passenger compartment based
on the perceived temperature, not on actual
temperature.

The temperature you select in the passenger
compartment corresponds to the physically
perceived temperature as affected by factors
such as the ambient temperature, air speed,
humidity, solar radiation, etc. in and around
the car at the time.

The system includes a sun sensor which
detects on which side the sun is shining into
the passenger compartment. This means that
the temperature can differ between the right
and left-hand side's air vents despite the con-
trols being set for the same temperature on
both sides.

Air quality

The materials selected for the passenger
compartment and the air cleaning system
ensure that the air quality in the passenger
compartment is high.

Materials in the passenger
compartment

The interior of the passenger compartment is
designed to be pleasant and comfortable,
even for people with contact allergies and for
asthma sufferers.

Tested materials have been developed in order
to reduce the quantity of dust in the passenger
compartment and to contribute to making the
passenger compartment easier to keep clean.

The carpets in both the passenger compart-
ment and the cargo area are removable and
easy to remove and clean.

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

Air cleaning system

In addition to the passenger compartment fil-
ter, the car is equipped with an air cleaning
system that helps to maintain high air quality
in the passenger compartment.

CleanZone

The CleanZone function checks and indicates
whether or not all conditions have been met
for good air quality in the passenger compart-
ment.

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

Clean Zone

text is white. When all conditions

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

Conditions that need to be met:

•

That all doors and the boot lid are closed.

•

That all side windows and the sunroof

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.

CleanZone does not indicate that the air
quality is good. It only indicates that the
conditions for good air quality have been
met.

Clean Zone Interior Package

Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) compri-
ses a series of modifications that keep the
passenger compartment even clearer from
allergy and asthma-inducing substances,
among other things.

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 passenger compartment with fresh air.
The function 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.

Interior Air Quality System

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully
automatic 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 pas-
senger compartment from contaminants such
as particles, 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.

Activating and deactivating the air quality
sensor

The air quality sensor must always be ena-
bled to ensure the best air in the passenger
compartment.

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

In the event of misting, the defrost func-
tions for windscreen, side windows and
rear window should be used.

Passenger compartment filter

All air entering the car's passenger compart-
ment 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
recommended replacement intervals. If the car
is used in a severely contaminated environ-
ment, it may be necessary to replace the filter
more often.

There are different types of passenger
compartment filter. Make sure that the cor-
rect filter is fitted.

Advanced Air Cleaner

Advanced Air Cleaner is a fully-automatic air
purifier that collects contaminants in the form
of small airborne particulate matter and
exhaust gases in the passenger compartment
filter, which improves the climate in the pas-
senger compartment.

The function is started automatically when the
fan is started.

Small airborne particulate matter is some-
times called PM

2.5

(particles smaller than 2.5

µm), the content of such particles in the car is
measured by one of the car's climate sensors.
The content in the car is presented in the
downloadable Air Quality app.

Air distribution

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

Automatic and manual air distribution

With auto-regulated climate running the air
distribution takes place automatically. If nec-
essary, the air distribution can be controlled
manually.

Adjustable air vents

Some of the air vents in the car are adjustable,
which means that you can open/close the vent
to aim the air flow.

Opening, closing and aiming the

air vents

Some air vents in the passenger compart-
ment can be opened, closed and aimed indi-
vidually.

If the car's outer vents are aimed at the side
windows then misting can be eliminated.

If the car's outer vents are aimed inwards
then, in a hot climate, a comfortable environ-
ment is obtained in the passenger compart-
ment.

Opening and closing the air vents

Air vents on the instrument panel:

–

Turn the rotary knob in the middle of the
air vent to open/close the air flow from the
vent.

The air flow is at maximum when the
marking on the knob is in vertical position.

Air vents on the door pillars and at the rear of
the tunnel console

–

Roll the thumbwheel under the air vent in
order to open/close the air flow from the
vent.

The longer the white lines on the thumb-
wheel that are visible, the higher the air
flow.

Aiming the air vents

–

Move the lever in the middle of the air vent
horizontally/vertically to direct the air flow
from the vent.
