ECC functions

1. Auto – On/Off

The AUTO function automat- ically regulates climate con- trol to maintain the desired temperature. The automatic function controls heating, air conditioning, blower speed, recirculation, and air distribu-

tion. If you select one or more manual functions, the remaining functions continue to be controlled automatically. All manual settings are switched off when AUTO is switched on. AUTO CLIMATE is shown in the display.

Electronic Climate Control

3. Recirculation

This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc from the passen- ger 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 80 for information on set- ting 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 wind- shield and side windows and increases blower speed. When the defroster is acti- vated:

• Air flows to the windows at high blower

speed.

• The LED in the defroster button lights up when this function is activated. The air con- ditioning system is controlled to provide maximum air dehumidification.

• The air conditioning is automatically

switched on (can be switched off by press- ing button 6).

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 cli- mate control panel and a lit LED in the selected button indicate that the manual func- tion has been selected. With manually selected airflow both warm and cool air can be selected. See also the table on page 94.

6. Air conditioning On/Off

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

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. Other functions are still controlled automati- cally. When Defroster (4) is selected, the air condi- tioning system is activated for maximum dehu- midifying.

7 and 8. Heated front seats*

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.

92

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

9. Rear window and door mirror defrosters

Press to defrost the rear win- dow and door mirrors. The rear window and door mirrors are defrosted simulta- neously if the switch is pressed once. The defrost

function is active if the LED in the switch is illu- minated. • The function can be switched off manually

by pressing the button.

• The defrost function switches off automat- ically after 12–20 minutes, depending on the outside temperature.

NOTE

• 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. • This function is automatically switched off when the power retractable hard top is down.

10. Temperature selector

The temperatures on the driv- er's and passenger's sides can be set separately using the knob (with the thermome- ter 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: 1. Press the knob once. The LED for one side

of the car will light up. Turn the knob to adjust the temperature.

2. Press the knob a second time to set the temperature on the opposite side of the car.

3. Press the knob a third time to set the tem-

perature 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.

03 Climate

Electronic Climate Control

Sensors • The sunlight sensor is on the upper side of

the dashboard

• The passenger compartment temperature sensor is located behind the climate sys- tem control panel.

• The ambient temperature sensor is in the

driver's side door mirror.

• The humidity sensor is in the rearview mir-

ror.

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 compart- ment.

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

Adjusting the front seat head restraints

The head restraints should be put in the upper or lower position according to the height of the occupant of the seat.

The front seat head restraints are designed so that they can be adjusted to two different height positions.

NOTE

• When the vehicle leaves the factory, the front seat head restraints will be in the lower position.

• Due to the low roofline of the Volvo C70,

it is necessary to have the front seat head restraints in the lowest position if you wish to fold the seat's backrest for- ward or operate the power retractable hard top.

The upper edge of the head restraint should be at least on a level with the upper-most point of the seat occupant's ear (see illustration). To raise or lower a head restraint:

Raising or lowering a head restraint 1. Release the head restraint by pressing the button underneath its left side, at the base of the support (see the illustration).

2. Move the head restraint until it clicks

(locks) into the upper or lower position.

WARNING

WARNING

• If a front seat head restraint has been removed, it must be put properly back in place and it must lock (click) into one of the available adjustment positions before the seat is occupied.

• The front seat head restraints must be in position and properly adjusted to the height of the person sitting in the seat when the vehicle is driven and when the front passenger's seat is occupied.

After adjusting the head restraint, be sure that it is securely locked in the new position by pressing and/or pulling it.

Removing a head restraint The front seat head restraints can be removed, for example, when cleaning the upholstery or if the front passenger's seat backrest is folded down to accommodate a long load. To do so: 1. Release the head restraint by pressing the release button underneath its left side, at the base of the support.

2. While holding in the release button, press the locking button at the base of the head restraint's right support with a screw driver, etc., and lift the head restraint until it can be removed completely.
