HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

Introduction

HomeLink1 is a system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-devices (for example, a garage door opener, remote lighting, entry gate). HomeLink's sun visor-mounted transceiver, powered by your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your handheld remote controls. The HomeLink transceiver consists of three programmable buttons and an indicator light.

Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (for example, if you purchase a new vehicle). For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLink Universal Transceiver when you sell your

Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a vehicle equipped with HomeLink Universal

Transceiver. This could interfere with the transceivers function.

Operating the HomeLink Universal Transceiver Once programmed, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver can be used in place of your handheld transmitters.

NOTE

The HomeLink universal transceiver will function for 30 minutes after the driver's door has been opened without switching on the vehicle's ignition.

Press the programmed HomeLink button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lightning, home security system etc. Your original hand-held transmitters may, of course, be used at any time.

WARNING

If you use HomeLink to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion. Do not use the HomeLink Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety "stop" and

"reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door opener that cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death. For more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515. (Internet: www.HomeLink.com).

Programming the transceiver for the first time (U.S. residents) 1. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)

General information

Air conditioning - A/C

Your car is equipped with an Electronic Climate Control (ECC).

The air conditioning system can be switched off, but for optimal air quality in the passenger compartment and to prevent the windows from fogging, the air conditioning should be left on - even in cool weather.

NOTE

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.

Ice and snow

Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.

Fog on the inside of the windows

The defroster function should be used to remove fog or mist from the inside of the windows. Keeping the windows clean with a commercially available window washing spray will also help prevent fogging or misting.

Climate control 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 system contains 1.2 lbs (530 g) R134a (HFC 134a), and uses PAG oil.

Passenger compartment filter

Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. Please refer to your Warranty and Service Records Information 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.

NOTE

There are different types of cabin air filters. Ensure that the correct type is installed.

Display

The display above the climate control panel shows the climate settings that have been made.

Personal settings

There are two functions in the climate system that can be set to your preferences:

Blower speed to Auto mode (models with ECC only). Timer controlled recirculation of the air in the passenger compartment.

For information about how to make these settings, see the Personal settings section on page 71.

NOTE

The sunlight sensor on the upper side of the dashboard and the passenger compartment temperature sensor, located

behind the climate system control panel, should not be obstructed.

The air conditioning system is temporarily switched off during full throttle acceleration.

ECC functions

1. Auto - On/Off

The AUTO function automatically regulates climate control to maintain the desired temperature. The automatic function controls heating, air conditioning, blower speed, recirculation, and air distribution.

If you select one or more manual functions, the remaining functions continue to be controlled automatically. All manual settings are

83 03 Climate

Electronic Climate Control (ECC)

switched off when AUTO is switched on. AUTO CLIMATE is shown in the display.

2. Blower speed

The blower speed can be increased or decreased by turning the knob. The blower speed is regulated automatically if AUTO is selected. The previously set blower speed is disconnected.

NOTE

If the knob is turned counterclockwise and the blower indication in the display goes out, the blower and the air conditioning are switched off. The display shows the blower symbol and OFF.

3. Recirculation

This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc from the passenger compartment. The air in the passenger compartment is then recirculated, i.e. no air from outside the car is taken into the car when this function is activated.

If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on the insides of the windows,

especially in winter.

Timer The timer function minimizes the risk of fogging, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected. See page 72
for information on setting the recirculation timer.

NOTE

Recirculation is always disengaged if the defroster button is engaged to clear ice or condensation from the side windows.

4. Defroster

Directs airflow to the windshield and side windows and increases blower speed.

When the defroster is activated:

Air flows to the windows at high blower speed. The LED in the defroster button lights up when this function is activated. The air conditioning system is controlled

to provide maximum air dehumidification.

The air conditioning is automatically switched on (can be switched off by pressing button 5).

The air is not recirculated.

5. Airflow controls

Press one of the three buttons in the illustration to activate the selected airflow. A symbol in the display above the climate control panel and a lit LED in the selected button indicate that the manual function has been selected. With manually selected airflow both warm and cool air can be selected. See also the table on page 86.

6. Air conditioning On/Off

ON: The air conditioning system is engaged when the ON light is lit and is controlled automatically by the system to maintain the selected temperature.

OFF: The system is disengaged when the OFF lights up

When OFF is selected and the OFF LED is lit, the air conditioning system is deactivated.

84 03 Climate

Electronic Climate Control (ECC)

Other functions are still controlled automatically.

When Defroster (4) is selected, the air conditioning system is activated for maximum dehumidifying.

 7 and 8. Heated front seats (option)

Maximum heating: Press the button once - both LEDs light up.

Reduced heating: Press the button a second time - one LED lights up.

Seat heating off: Press the button a third time - no LEDs are lit.

9. Rear window and door mirror defrosters

Press to defrost the rear window and door mirrors.

The rear window and door mirrors are defrosted simultaneously if the switch is pressed once. The defrost function is active if the LED in the switch is illuminated.

The function can be switched off manually by pressing the button. The defrost function switches off automatically after 12-20 minutes, depending on the outside temperature.

NOTE

This function is automatically switched off when the power retractable hard top is down. On certain markets, the defrost function may remain on longer than 20 minutes in cold weather to help keep the

rear window free from ice or condensation.

10. Temperature selector

The temperatures on the driver's and passenger's sides can be set separately using the knob (with the thermometer in it). The temperature can be set for both sides of the car when the ignition is switched on (both LEDs will be on), which means that a temperature setting will apply to both sides of the car.

To set the temperature on one side of the car:

Press the knob once. The LED for one side of the car will light up. Turn the knob to adjust the temperature. Press the knob a second time to set the temperature on the opposite side of the car. Press the knob a third time to set the temperature on both sides of the car at the same time.

NOTE

Selecting a temperature that is higher or lower than necessary will not heat or cool the passenger compartment faster.

85 03 Climate

Electronic Climate Control (ECC)

ECC sensors

The sunlight sensor is on the upper side of the dashboard

 The passenger compartment temperature sensor is located behind the climate system control panel. The ambient temperature sensor is in the driver's side door mirror. The humidity sensor is in the rearview mirror.

These sensors should never be obstructed.

NOTE

The sunlight sensor monitors the side of the vehicle from which the sun shines into the passenger compartment. This means that the temperature may differ slightly between the left and right air vents, even if the climate system temperature is set to be the same for both sides of the passenger compartment.

Carrying long loads (ski hatch)

The center section of the rear seat backrest can be opened to create space for carrying long, light objects (max. length 6.5 ft/2 meters, max. weight 55 lbs/25 kg). To do so, the center section (cushion) of the rear seat backrest must be removed, the tire repair kit (if the vehicle is so equipped) must be removed and stowed in the trunk, and the plastic hatch in the trunk must be opened.

Removing the center backrest cushion Pull the strap at the upper edge of the cushion, pull it forward, and lift it out.

Opening the plastic hatch From the trunk, press the catches in the two holes in the hatch (A in the illustration) toward each other to release the hatch, and fold it down.

 NOTE

If the vehicle is equipped with the optional ski bag, the bag's zipper must be opened from the passenger's compartment in order to insert objects through the ski hatch.

Replacing the backrest cushion Begin by guiding the lower section of the cushion into place. Then press the upper section of the cushion into place.

NOTE

This cushion is locked in place when the vehicle is locked with the remote control. See page 117.

Securing long objects Long objects should be secured with one of the rear seat belts.

Wrap the belt once around the object and lock the belt in the retractor as usual.

If the vehicle is equipped with the optional ski bag, pass the seat belt through the bag's handle before fastening the seat belt.
