The climate control system cools, heats or dehumidifies the air in the pas- senger compartment. NOTE • The air conditioning can be switched off, but to ensure the best possible cli- mate comfort in the passenger com- partment and to prevent the windows from misting, it should always be on. • 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. Sensor location • The sunlight sensor is located on the top side of the dashboard. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure NOTE The sunlight sensor monitors which side of the car that is most exposed to sunlight. This can mean that the temperature may differ between the right and left-side air vents, even if the temperatures set for both sides of the passenger compartment are the same. • The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is located below the climate control panel. • The outside (ambient) temperature sensor is located on the door mirror. • The humidity sensor* is located in the inte- rior rearview mirror. NOTE Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects. Side windows and moonroof To ensure that the air conditioning works opti- mally, the side windows, and the optional moonroof should be closed. 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- Climate system mercially available window washing spray will also help prevent fogging or misting. Vents in the parcel shelf NOTE The air vents at the rear of the parcel shelf should never be obstructed. Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning The air conditioning is momentarily disen- gaged during full-throttle acceleration or when driving uphill with a trailer. This may result in a temporary increase in cabin temperature. Ice and snow Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow. Climate system 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 air condi- 04 `` * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 133 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Climate system tioning system contains 1.8 lbs (820 g) of R134a. The systems 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. Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) A multifilter helps reduce gases and particles in the incoming air, thereby reducing the levels of odors and contaminants entering the vehi- cle. The air quality sensor detects increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the air quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment is recircu- lated, i.e. no outside air enters the vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger com- partment air. 04 134 NOTE Air distribution Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air filter replacement intervals. Materials used in the cabin The materials used in the cabin have been developed to help minimize the amount of dust and make the cabin easier to keep clean. All floor mats can be easily removed for cleaning. Use car cleaning products recommended by Volvo. See also the information beginning on page 335. Menu settings The default settings for four of the climate sys- tem's functions can be changed in the menu system. • Blower speed in automatic mode. • Recirculation timer for passenger com- partment air. • Automatic rear window defrosting. • The optional Interior Air Quality System (IAQS). The functions can also be returned to factory settings in the menu system. See page 127 for a description of the menu system. The incoming air is distributed from a number of different vents in the passenger compart- ment. Air distribution is fully automatic in AUTO mode. If desired, air distribution can be controlled manually, see page 140.

The cooling effect increases as the air in the passenger compartment becomes cooler. The ventilation is controlled by the ECC sys- tem, which takes into account the seat tem- perature, sunlight in the passenger compart- ment, and the ambient temperature. 1 The location of the button varies, depending on whether the vehicle is equipped with the optional ventilated front seats 136 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. The ventilation can be used at the same time as seat heating. The ventilation system can be activated when the engine is running. There are three comfort levels that produce different cooling and dehu- midifying effects: • Level three: press the button once for maximum output – three indicator lights come on. • Level two: press the button twice for a lower output – two indicator lights come on. • Level one: press the button three times for the lowest output – one indicator light comes on. • Press the button a fourth time to switch off the function – the indicator light will go out. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Climate system Heated front seats* Heated rear seats* The current seat temperature is shown in the cen- ter console display Press the button once for the highest heat level – three indi- cator lights come on. Press the button twice for a lower heat level – two indica- tor lights come on. Press the button three times for the lowest heat level – one indicator light comes on. Press the button four times to switch off the heat – no indicator lights come on. Seat heating will automatically switch off when the engine is switched off. Heat control for the outboard seating positions is done in the same way as for the front seats. Blower control Turn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the blower speed. If AUTO is selected, blower speed will be regula- ted automatically and this will override manual adjustment. NOTE If the blower is turned off completely, the air conditioning is disengaged, which may result in fogging on the windows. 04 `` * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 137 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Climate system Air distribution Manual air distribution—defroster Manual air distribution—dashboard air vents Manual air distribution—floor The figure consists of three buttons.

If you select one or more man- ual functions, the other func- tions continue to be controlled automatically. The air quality sensor is engaged and all man- ual settings are switched off when AUTO is pressed. The display shows AUTO CLIMATE. 04 138 Blower speed in automatic mode can be set under Climate settings Automatic blower adjustment. Choose between Low, Normal or High. NOTE Selecting the lowest blower speed may increases the risk of fog forming on the win- dows. Temperature control The temperatures on the driver and passenger sides can be set separately. When the vehicle is started, the most recent setting is resumed. NOTE Heating or cooling cannot be speeded up by selecting a higher/lower temperature than the actual temperature required. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure A/C – ON/OFF When the indicator light in the button is on, the air condition- ing is controlled automati- cally. This cools/heats and dehumidifies the incoming air. When the indicator light in the button is off, the air condition- ing is disengaged. Other functions are still con- trolled automatically. When maximum defroster is selected, the air conditioning sys- tem is set for maximum blower speed and dehumidification. Defroster This function defrosts/de-ices the windshield and front side windows. The indicator light in the defroster button lights when the function is active. • Blower speed increases automatically and the air conditioning will switch on (if not already on and if the passenger compart- ment blower is not turned off) to dehumid- ify the air in the passenger compartment. Air conditioning can be switched off by pressing the AC button. • Recirculation will not function while defrost is engaged. The climate system will return to its previous settings when the defroster function is switched off. Recirculation/air quality system 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. The indicator light in the button will illuminate when recirculation is selected. 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 fog- ging, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected by automatically switching off the function after a certain length of time, depend- ing on the ambient temperature. Activate/ deactivate the function under Climate Recirculation timer. See page settings 127 for a description of the menu system. Climate system NOTE When Defroster is selected, recirculation is always deactivated. Interior Air Quality System–IAQS* This system consists of a multifilter and an air quality sensor. The filter helps remove gases and particles from the incoming air, thereby reducing the amounts of odors and contami- nants entering the vehicle. The air quality sen- sor detects increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the air quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger com- partment is recirculated, i.e., no outside air enters the vehicle. The filter also cleans recir- culated passenger compartment air. When the AUTO button is depressed the air quality sen- sor is always engaged. Activate or deactivate this function in Climate settings Interior air quality system. 04 `` * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 139 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Climate system NOTE • The air quality sensor should always be engaged in order to obtain the best air in the passenger compartment. • Recirculation is limited in cold weather to avoid fogging. • If the insides of the windows start fog- ging, disengage the air quality sensor.

CAUTION A pulsating sound will be audible when the system is actively operating and is normal. Traction control (TC) This function is designed to help reduce wheel spin by transferring power from a drive wheel that begins to lose traction to the wheel on the opposite side of the vehicle (on the same axle). TC is most active at low speeds. This is one of DSTC's permanent functions and cannot be switched off. Active Yaw Control (AYC) This function helps maintain directional stabil- ity, for example when cornering, by braking one or more of the wheels if the vehicle shows a tendency to skid or slide laterally. This is one of DSTC's permanent functions and cannot be switched off. Spin control (SC) The spin control function is designed to help prevent the drive wheels from spinning while the vehicle is accelerating. Operation Sport mode The stability system is always activated and cannot be switched off. However, the driver can select Sport mode, which offers more active driving characteris- tics. In this mode, the engine management sys- tem monitors movement of the accelerator pedal and steering wheel for sportier driving by allowing more lateral movement of the rear wheels before DSTC is activated. Under certain circumstances, such as when driving with snow chains, or driving in deep snow or loose sand, it may be advisable to temporarily use Sport mode for maximum tractive force. If the driver releases pressure on the acceler- ator pedal, DSTC will also activate to help sta- bilize the vehicle. To switch to Sport mode: 1. Press the My Car button in the center con- sole control panel and select My S80 DSTC in the menu. 2. Unselect the symbol and leave the menu by pressing EXIT. > This puts DSTC in Sport mode. Sport mode remains active until the driver switches it off in the menu or until the engine is switched off. DSTC will return to normal mode when the engine is restarted. 04 144 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Stability system Symbols and messages in the main instrument panel Description Symbol Message DSTC Temporarily OFF The DSTC system function has been temporarily reduced due to high brake disc temperature. DSTC reactivates automatically when the brakes have cooled. DSTC Service required The DSTC system is not functioning properly. • Stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine and restart it. • If the message is still displayed when the engine has restarted, drive to an authorized Volvo work- shop to have the system inspected. "Message" Read the message in the information display and Steady glow for 2 secs. The system is performing a self-diagnostic test. Flashing symbol DSTC is actively functioning to help counteract wheel spin and/or a skid. Sport mode has been activated. WARNING The stability system is intended to help improve driving safety. It supplements, but can never replace, the driver's judgment and responsibility when operating the vehi- cle. Speed and driving style should always be adapted to traffic and road conditions. 04 145 04 Comfort and driving pleasure 04 Active chassis system–Four C* Active chassis (Four C) Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Con- trolled Chassis Concept), regulates the cha- racteristics of the shock absorbers so that the car's driving characteristics can be adjusted. There are three settings: Comfort, Sport and Advanced. Comfort Comfort mode offers a somewhat softer ride and the transmission shifts gears at lower rpm. This mode is particularly suitable for long-dis- tance highway driving. The indicator light in the button will be on when this mode is selected. Sport In this mode, the vehicle's body sway is reduced during cornering and steering response is more immediate. The transmission shifts up at higher rpm for sportier driving. The indicator light in the button will be on to indi- cate that Sport mode has been selected. Advanced In this mode, body sway in curves is minimal and steering response is very direct. Gear shift- ing is done at high rpm in each gear for dynamic and active driving. Operation NOTE This steering force level menu function can- not be accessed when the vehicle is in motion.

It is primarily intended for use on long straight roads in steady traffic, such as on highways and other main roads. When the driver has set the desired speed and the time interval to the vehicle ahead, ACC functions as follows: • If there are no other vehicles in the lane ahead of you, your vehicle will travel at the set speed. • If ACC's radar sensor detects a slower moving vehicle in the lane ahead, the sys- tem will adapt your vehicle's speed to help maintain the set time interval to the vehicle ahead. When there are no longer slower moving vehicles ahead, your vehicle will accelerate to resume the set speed. If ACC is switched off completely or in standby mode and your vehicle comes too close to another vehicle ahead, the driver will be warned by the Distance Alert system (see page 159). WARNING • Adaptive Cruise Control cannot cover all driving situations and traffic, weather and road conditions. The "Function" section provides information about lim- itations that the driver must be aware of before using this feature. • This system is designed to be a supple- mentary driving aid. It is not, however, intended to replace the driver's atten- tion and judgement. The driver is responsible for maintaining a safe dis- tance and speed and must intervene if Adaptive Cruise Control does not main- tain a suitable speed or suitable dis- tance to the vehicle ahead. • Maintenance of ACC components may only be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo technician. 1 The illustration is schematic; details will vary, depending on the model Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)* Function Function overview1 Warning light, braking by driver required Controls in steering wheel Radar sensor in front grille Adaptive Cruise Control consists of: • A cruise control system to maintain a set speed • A system to maintain a set distance to the vehicle ahead, which is expressed as a time interval. For example, you can choose to remain approximately 2 seconds behind the vehicle ahead. The actual distance required to maintain a 2-second interval will vary according the speed of the vehi- cles. 04 `` * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 149 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)* WARNING WARNING WARNING 04 • Adaptive Cruise Control is not a colli- sion avoidance system. The driver is always responsible for applying the brakes if the system does not detect another vehicle. • Adaptive Cruise Control does not react to people or animals, or small vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles. It also does not react to slow moving, parked or approaching vehicles, or sta- tionary objects. • Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control in demanding driving conditions such as city driving or other heavy traffic situa- tions, in slippery conditions, when there is a great deal of water or slush on the road, during heavy rain or snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads or on high- way on- or off-ramps. The distance to the vehicle ahead (in the same lane) is monitored by a radar sensor. Your vehi- cle's speed is regulated by accelerating and braking. The brakes may emit a sound when they are being modulated by the adaptive cruise control system. This is normal. The brake pedal moves when the adaptive cruise control system modulates the brakes. Do not rest your foot under the brake pedal. The ACC system is designed to smoothly reg- ulate speed. However, the driver must apply the brakes in situations that require immediate braking. This applies when there are great dif- ferences in speed between vehicles, or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly. WARNING Due to limitations in the radar sensor, brak- ing may occur unexpectedly or not at all, see page 154. Adaptive Cruise Control can be put in active mode at any permitted speed. However, if the vehicle's speed falls below 18 mph (30 km/h) or if engine speed (rpm) becomes too low, ACC disengages (goes into standby mode) and will no longer modulate the brakes2. The driver will then have to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead. When Adaptive Cruise Control is in standby mode or is switched off completely, the brakes will not be modulated automatically. The driver must assume full control over the vehicle. Warning light—driver braking required Adaptive Cruise Control can exert brake force that is equivalent to approximately 40% of the vehicle's total braking capacity. In situations requiring more brake force than ACC can pro- vide and if the driver does not apply the brakes, an audible signal from the Collision Warning system will sound and warning light will illumi- nate (see page 168) in the windshield to alert the driver to react. NOTE Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is not looking straight ahead may make the visual warning signal in the wind- shield difficult to see. 2 Does not apply to vehicles with the optional Queue Assist. See page 153 for more information. 150 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure WARNING Operation Adaptive Cruise Control only warns of vehi- cles detected by the radar sensor, see page 154. In some cases there may be no warning or the warning may be delayed. The driver should always apply the brakes when necessary. Steep inclines and/or heavy loads ACC is primarily intended for use on fairly level roads. The system may have difficulty main- taining the correct distance to a vehicle ahead on steep inclines, if the vehicle is carrying a heavy load or is towing a trailer. In these situa- tions, the driver should always be prepared to apply the brakes if necessary. Controls and display Resume previous settings, increase speed (each additional press increases speed by 1 mph (approximately 2 km/h).

To do so: Press symbol appears in the display and The parentheses (---) indicate that ACC is in standby mode. NOTE The driver's door must be closed and the driver's seat belt must be fastened before ACC can be put in active mode. If the driv- er's seat belt is taken off or if the driver's door is opened, ACC will return to standby mode. or Setting a speed Once ACC has been put in standby mode, use the buttons to store (set) the vehicle's current speed. This puts the system in active mode.

The engine must then be switched off and restarted to reset ACC. • In some situations Adaptive Cruise Control cannot be put in active mode. Cruise control Unavailable is shown in the display, see page 157. Setting a time interval The set time interval to vehicles ahead can be increased by pressing pressing briefly in the display following adjustment. . The current time interval is shown and decreased by Different time intervals can be selected and are shown in the display as 1–5 horizontal bars. The greater the number of bars, the longer the time inter- val. One bar represents a time interval of approximately 1 second; 5 bars is approximately 2.5 seconds. At low speeds, when the distance to the vehicle ahead is short, ACC increases the time interval slightly. In order to follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible, ACC allows the time interval to vary considerably in certain situations. WARNING • Only use a time interval that is suitable in current traffic conditions. • A short time interval gives the driver lim- ited reaction time if an unexpected sit- uation occurs in traffic. The number of bars indicating the selected time interval are shown while the setting is being made and for several seconds afterward. A smaller version of the symbol is then shown to the right in the display. The same symbol is also displayed when Distance Alert is in active mode, see page 159 . Standby mode (temporary deactivation) Press to temporarily deactivate cruise con- trol (put it in standby mode). The set speed, for example 55 mph, is then shown in parenthe- ses. The previously set speed and time interval are resumed by pressing WARNING There may be a significant increase in speed after the button has been pressed. When ACC is in active mode, the vehicle’s speed increases by approximately 1 mph (1 km/h) each additional time is pressed. 152 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Standby mode due to action by the driver ACC is temporarily deactivated and put in standby mode: • when the brakes are applied • if the driver's seat belt is taken off • If the driver's door is opened • if the gear selector is moved to N • if the accelerator pedal is depressed for more than 1 minute. NOTE If the accelerator pedal is only depressed for a short time, such as when passing another vehicle, ACC is deactivated temporarily and is reactivated when the pedal is released. Automatic standby mode Adaptive cruise control is linked to other sys- tems such as the stability and traction control system (DSTC). If this system is not functioning properly, adaptive cruise control is automati- cally deactivated and will go into standby mode. In the event of automatic deactivation, an audi- ble signal will sound and the message Cruise control Cancelled is shown in the display. The driver must then intervene and adapt the vehicle's speed to the surrounding traffic and regulate the distance to the vehicle ahead. An automatic switch to standby mode may be caused if: • the wheels lose traction • brake temperature is high • the radar sensor is obstructed by, for example, wet snow or rain. Queue Assist* The following functions are linked to your vehi- cle's automatic transmission and comprise the Queue Assist feature. Please note that the lowest speed that can be set is 18 mph (30 km/h), although ACC can maintain a set speed/distance to a vehicle ahead down to a standstill.
