Introduction

The HomeLink1 Wireless Control System pro- vides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters used to activate devices such as gate opera- tors, garage door openers, entry door locks, security systems, even home lighting. Addi- tional HomeLink information can be found on the Internet at www.homelink.com or by phon- ing the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.

02 Instruments and controls

HomeLink® Wireless Control System*

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.

• When programming a garage door

opener, it is advised to park outside of the garage.

• Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model manu- factured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot detect an object - sig- naling the door to stop and reverse - does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com.

Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming for use in other vehicles as well as for future HomeLink programming. It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink buttons be erased for security purposes. Refer to “Reset- ting HomeLink Buttons” on page 85.

Programming HomeLink

NOTE

02

Some vehicles may require the ignition to be switched on or be in the “accessories” posi- tion for programming and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink for quicker training and accu- rate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. The HomeLink buttons must be reset first. When this has been completed, Home- link is in learning mode so that you can per- form programming.

1. Position the end of your hand-held trans- mitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the HomeLink button you wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view. 2. Simultaneously press and hold both the

chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmit- ter buttons until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blink- ing light. Now you may release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter but- tons.

NOTE

Some devices may require you to replace this Programming Step 2 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian Pro- gramming” section. If the HomeLink indica- tor light does not change to a rapidly blink- ing light after performing these steps, con- tact HomeLink at www.homelink.com or by phoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.

3. Firmly press, hold for five seconds and release the programmed HomeLink but- ton up to two separate times to activate the door. If the door does not activate, press and hold the just-trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light. • If the indicator light stays on con- stantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released.

• If the indicator light blinks rapidly for

two seconds and then turns to a con- stant light continue with “Program- ming” steps 4-6 to complete the pro- gramming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener).

4. At the garage door opener receiver (motor- head unit) in the garage, locate the “learn”

or “smart” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.

5. Firmly press and release the “learn” or

“smart” button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.) There are 30 seconds to initiate step 6.

6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold

for two seconds and release the pro- grammed HomeLink button. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence a second time, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming process.

HomeLink should now activate your rolling code equipped device.

Gate Operator/Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require trans- mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after sev- eral seconds of transmission – which may not be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having difficul- ties programming a gate operator or garage door opener by using the “Programming” pro-

cedures, replace “Programming HomeLink” step 2 with the following: • Continue to press and hold the HomeLink

button while you press and release - every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand- held transmitter until the HomeLink indica- tor light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light. Now you may release both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons.

Proceed with “Programming” step 3 to com- plete.

Using HomeLink To operate, simply press and hold the pro- grammed HomeLink button until the trained device begins to operate (this may take several seconds). Activation will now occur for the trained device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.). For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. In the event that there are still programming difficulties or questions, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com or by phoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.

CLIMATE

03 Climate

General information

Air conditioning – A/C Your car is equipped with a climate control system that includes either manually adjusta- ble air conditioning or optional Electronic Cli- mate 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 win- dows. Keeping the windows clean with a com- mercially 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 tech- nician.

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 Informa- tion 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.

03

88

Side windows and power retractable hardtop The electronic climate control system will func- tion best if the windows and power retractable hardtop are closed. If you drive with the win- dows or hardtop open, it may be preferable to manually adjust the temperature and blower control (the LED in the AUTO switch should be off).

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

For information about how to make these set- tings, see the Personal settings section on page 81.

Electronic Climate Control (ECC) 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.

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.

These sensors should never be obstructed.

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.

03

03 Climate

Electronic Climate Control (ECC)

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 81 for information on set- ting the recirculation timer.

NOTE

If the defroster function is switched on (by pressing button 4), recirculation is always disengaged.

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)*

This system consists of a mul- tifilter that helps reduce gases and particles in the incoming air and an air quality sensor that detects increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the air quality sen- sor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment is recirculated. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger compartment air. When IAQS is engaged, the green indicator light above A is illuminated. To activate IAQS: – Press AUTO (1). Or: Toggle between the system's three modes by pressing the button repeatedly. • IAQS is engaged (the indicator light above

A illuminates).

• Recirculation is engaged (the indicator

light above M illuminates).

• Recirculation is switched off (both indica- tor lights will be off), unless ECC activates it to help cool the passenger compartment faster in hot weather.

92

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

Keep the following in mind: • As a rule, IAQS should always be engaged. • In cold weather, the recirculation function is limited to help avoid condensation on the windows.

• If condensation forms, using the defroster functions for the windshield/front side win- dows and the rear window will help clear the condensation.

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 95.

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.

03 Climate

Electronic Climate Control (ECC)

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.

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.

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.

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.
