Climate control

General

Climate control The car is equipped with electronic climate control. The climate control system cools or heats as well as dehumidifies the air in the pas- senger compartment.

NOTE

04

The air conditioning system (AC) can be switched off, but to ensure the best possible climate comfort in the passenger compart- ment and to prevent the windows from mist- ing, it should always be on.

Actual temperature The temperature you select corresponds to the physical experience with reference to factors such as air speed, humidity and solar radiation etc. in and around the car. The system includes a sun sensor1 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 air vents despite the controls being set for the same temperature on both sides.

Sensor location • The sun sensor1 is located on the top side

of the dashboard.

• The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is located below the climate control panel.

• The outside temperature sensor is located

on the door mirror.

• The humidity sensor* is located by the inte-

rior rearview mirror.

NOTE

Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.

Side windows and sunroof* To ensure that the air conditioning works opti- mally, the side windows, and sunroof* if speci- fied, should be closed.

Misting windows Remove misting on the insides of the windows by primarily using the defroster function. To reduce the risk of misting, keep the win- dows clean and use window cleaner.

Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning When the engine requires full power, e.g. for full acceleration or driving uphill with a trailer, the air conditioning can be temporarily switched off. There may then be a temporary increase in temperature in the passenger compartment.

Condensation In warm weather, condensation from the air conditioning may drip under the car. This is normal.

Ice and snow Remove ice and snow from the climate control system air intake (the grille between the bonnet and the windscreen).

Fault tracing and repair Engage a workshop that has authorisation for the fault tracing and repair of the climate con- trol system. Volvo recommends that you con- tact an authorised Volvo workshop.

Refrigerant The air conditioning system contains a refrig- erant. This refrigerant contains no chlorine, which means that it is harmless to the ozone layer. Engage a workshop that has authorisa- tion for filling/changing refrigerant to carry out

the work. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.

Total airing function The function opens/closes all side windows simultaneously and can be used for example to quickly air the car during hot weather, see page 60.

Passenger compartment filter All air entering the car's passenger compart- ment is cleaned with a filter. This must be replaced at regular intervals. Follow the Volvo Service Programme for the recommended replacement intervals. If the car is used in a severely contaminated environment, it may be necessary to replace the filter more often.

NOTE

There are different types of passenger com- partment filter. Make sure that the correct filter is fitted.

Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP)* This option keeps the passenger compartment clear of allergy and asthma inducing sub- stances. For more information on CZIP, see the brochure included with the purchase of the car. The following is included: • An enhanced fan function that means that the fan starts when the car is opened with

the remote control key. The fan fills the passenger compartment with fresh air. The function starts when required and is dis- engaged 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.

• The air quality system IAQS is a fully auto- matic system that cleans the air in the pas- senger compartment from contaminants such as particles, hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides and ground-level ozone.

NOTE

To keep the CZIP standard in cars with CZIP the IAQS filter must be changed after 15 000 km or once per year depending on whichever occurs first. However, up to 75 000 km over 5 years. In cars without CZIP and where the customer does not want to keep the CZIP standard the IAQS filter must be changed at a regular service.

Use of tested materials in the interior equipment. The materials have been developed in order to minimise the quantity of dust in the passenger compartment and they contribute to making the passenger compartment easier to keep clean. The carpets in both the passenger com- partment and the cargo area are removable

Climate control

and easy to remove and clean. Use cleaning agents and car care products recommended by Volvo, see page 346.

Menu settings It is possible to activate/deactivate or change the default settings for four of the climate con- trol system's functions via the centre console. For general information about menu naviga- tion, see page 145: • Fan speed in automatic mode*, see

NOTE

Heating or cooling cannot be hastened by selecting a higher/lower temperature than the actual temperature required.

AC – Air conditioning on/off

When the lamp in the AC but- ton illuminates, the air condi- tioning is controlled by the system's automatic function. This way, incoming air is cooled and dehumidified.

When the lamp in the AC button is switched off the air conditioning is disconnected. Other functions are still controlled automatically. When the max. defroster function is activated the air conditioning is switched on automati- cally, so that the air is dehumidified at the maxi- mum setting.

Max. defroster

Used to quickly remove mist- ing and ice from the wind- screen and side windows. Air flowing to the windows. The light in the defroster button illuminates when the function is active.

The following also takes place in order to pro- vide maximum dehumidification in the passen- ger compartment: • the air conditioning is automatically

engaged

• recirculation and the air quality system are

automatically disengaged.

NOTE

The noise level increases as the fan is oper- ating at max.

When the defroster is switched off the climate control returns to the previous settings.

Recirculation Recirculation

When recirculation is engaged the orange lamp in the button illuminates. The function is selected to shut out bad air, exhaust gases etc. from the passenger com- partment. The air in the pas-

senger compartment is recirculated, i.e. no outside air is taken into the car when this func- tion is activated.

Climate control

IMPORTANT

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

Timer With the timer function activated the system will exit manually activated recirculation mode according to a time that depends on the out- side temperature. This reduces the risk of ice, misting and bad air. Activate/deactivate the function in the menu system MY CAR under Settings Recirculation timer. For a description of the menu system, see page 145.

General information about the parking heater The parking heater heats the engine and pas- senger compartment and can be started directly or with the timer. Two different times can be selected using the timer. Here, time refers to the time when the car is heated and ready. The car's electronic sys- tem calculates when heating should be started based on the outside temperature. The heater cannot start if the outside tempera- ture exceeds 15 °C. At –5 °C or lower the maximum running time of the parking heater is 50 minutes.

WARNING

The car must be outdoors when the parking heater is used.

NOTE

When the parking heater is active there may be smoke from the right-hand wheel hous- ing, which is perfectly normal.

DSTC – Stability and traction control system

General information on DSTC The stability and traction control system, DSTC (Dynamic Stability & Traction Control) helps the driver to avoid skidding and improves the car's traction. The activation of the system during braking may be noticed as a throbbing sound. The car may accelerate slower than expected when the accelerator pedal is depressed.

Involuntary wheel locking while driving can, amongst other things, impair the driver's ability to steer the car.

Corner Traction Control – CTC CTC compensates for understeer and allows higher than normal acceleration in a bend with- out wheelspin on the inner wheel, e.g. on an arcing motorway entrance road to quickly reach the prevailing traffic speed.

04

Active Yaw Control The function limits the driving and brake force of the wheels individually in order to stabilise the car.

Trailer Stability Assist* - TSA The function serves to stabilise the car and trailer combination if it begins to snake, see page 288.

Spin Control The function prevents the driving wheels from spinning against the road surface during accel- eration.

Traction control system The function is active at low speed and trans- fers power from the driving wheel that is spin- ning to the one that is not.

Engine drag control - EDC EDC (Engine Drag Control) prevents involun- tary wheel locking, e.g. after shifting down or engine braking when driving in low gears on slippery road surfaces.

NOTE

The function is deactivated if the driver selects Sport mode.

Operation

Selection of level - Sport mode The DSTC system is always activated - it can- not be deactivated.

168

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

However, the driver can select the Sport mode, which allows for a more active driving experi- ence. In Sport mode the system detects whether the accelerator pedal, steering wheel movements and cornering are more active than in normal driving and then allows controlled skidding with the rear section up to a certain level before it intervenes and stabilises the car. If the driver stops a controlled skid by releasing the accelerator pedal then the DSTC system intervenes and stabilises the car. With Sport mode, maximum traction is obtained if the car has become stuck, or when driving on a loose surface - e.g. sand or deep snow. Proceed as follows to select Sport mode: 1. Press the centre console button MY CAR and search in the display screen's menu system and locate My V60
DSTC. (For information on the menu system, see page 144).

2. Uncheck the box and back out of the menu

system with EXIT. > The system then allows a more sporty

driving style.

The Sport mode is active until the driver dese- lects it or until the engine is switched off - after the engine is started the next time the DSTC system is back in its normal mode again.

Adapting driving characteristics

Active chassis - Four-C* Active chassis, Four-C (Continously Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates the characteris- tics of the shock absorbers so that the car's driving characteristics can be adjusted. There are three settings: Comfort, Sport and Advanced.

Comfort This setting means that the car is perceived as being more comfortable on rough and uneven road surfaces. Shock absorption is soft and the movement of the body is smooth and gentle.

Sport This setting means that the car is perceived as being more sporty and is recommended for more active driving. Steering response is faster than in the Comfort mode. Shock absorption is harder and the body follows the road in order to reduce rolling during cornering.

Advanced This setting is only recommended on very even and smooth road surfaces. The shock absorbers are optimised for maxi- mum roadholding and rolling in bends is further minimised.

General information on ACC The adaptive cruise control (ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control) helps the driver maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. The cruise control provides a more relaxing driving expe- rience on long journeys on motorways and long straight main roads in smooth traffic flows. The driver sets the desired speed and time interval to the car in front. When the radar detector detects a slower vehicle in front of the car, the speed is automatically adapted to that. When the road is clear again the car returns to the selected speed. If the adaptive cruise control is switched off or set to the standby mode and the car comes too close to a vehicle in front, then the driver is warned by Distance Warning (see page 185) about the short distance.

04 Comfort and driving pleasure

Adaptive cruise control*

WARNING

Function

The driver must always be observant with regard to the traffic conditions and intervene when the adaptive cruise control is not maintaining a suitable speed or suitable dis- tance. The adaptive cruise control cannot handle all traffic, weather and road conditions. Read the whole of this section for informa- tion on the limitations of the adaptive cruise control. The driver must be familiar with this information before using the adaptive cruise control. The driver always bears responsibility for maintaining the correct distance and speed, even when the adaptive cruise control is being used.

IMPORTANT

Maintenance of adaptive cruise control components must only be performed at a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Automatic gearbox Cars with automatic gearbox have enhanced functionality with the adaptive cruise control's Queue Assistant, see page 179.

Adaptive cruise control*

WARNING

Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver must inter- vene if the system does not detect a vehicle in front. The adaptive cruise control does not brake for humans or animals, and not for small vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles. Nor for oncoming, slow or stationary vehi- cles and objects. Do not use the adaptive cruise control, for example, in city traffic, in dense traffic, at junctions, on slippery surfaces, with a lot of water or slush on the road, in heavy rain/ snow, in poor visibility, on winding roads or on slip roads.

The distance to the vehicle ahead is mainly measured by a radar sensor. Cruise control regulates the speed with acceleration and braking. It is normal for the brakes to emit a low sound when they are being used by cruise con- trol.

WARNING

The brake pedal moves when the cruise control brakes. Do not rest your foot under the brake pedal as it could become trapped.

The adaptive cruise control aims to follow the vehicle ahead in the same lane at a time interval set by the driver. If the radar sensor cannot see any vehicle in front then the car will instead maintain the cruise control's set speed. This also happens if the speed of the vehicle in front exceeds the cruise control's set speed. The cruise control aims to control the speed in a smooth way. In situations that demand sud- den braking the driver must brake himself/her- self. This applies with large differences in speed, or if the vehicle in front brakes heavily. Due to limitations in the radar sensor, braking may come unexpectedly or not at all, see page 181. The adaptive cruise control can be activated to follow another vehicle at speeds from 30 km/h2 up to 200 km/h. If the speed falls below 30 km/h or if the engine speed becomes too low, the cruise control is set in standby mode at which automatic braking ceases - the driver must then take over himself/herself to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead.

Warning lamp - braking by driver required Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacity that is equivalent to more than 40% of the car's braking capacity.

If the car needs to be braked more heavily than cruise control capacity and the driver does not brake, then the cruise control uses the collision warning system's warning lamp and warning sound (see page 193) to alert the driver that immediate intervention is required.

NOTE

The warning lamp may be difficult to notice in strong sunlight or when sunglasses are being worn.

WARNING

Cruise control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor. Consequently there may be no warning or it may be sub- ject to a delay. Do not wait for a warning but brake when it is necessary.

Steep roads and/or heavy load Bear in mind that the adaptive cruise control is primarily intended for use when driving on level road surfaces. The cruise control may have dif- ficultly in keeping the correct distance from the vehicle ahead when driving on steep roads, with a heavy load or with a trailer - in which case, be extra attentive and ready to slow down.

2 Queue Assistant (in cars with automatic gearbox) can operate in the range of 0-200 km/h, see page 179.

NOTE

If any cruise control button is held depressed for more than approx. 1 minute then cruise control is disengaged. The engine must be switched off in order to reset cruise control. In certain situations, cruise control cannot be activated. Then the display shows Cruise control Unavailable, see page 183.

Set time interval

Different time intervals to the vehicle in front can be selected and shown in the display as 1-5 horizontal lines - the more lines the longer the time distance. One line corre- sponds to approximately

1 second, 5 lines approximately 2.5 seconds.

The time interval is increased or decreased with the steering wheel keypad's thumbwheel for cars without Speed (or the buttons limiter). At low speed, when the distances are short, the adaptive cruise control increases the time interval slightly. The adaptive cruise control allows the time interval to vary noticeably in certain situations in order to allow the car to follow the vehicle in front smoothly and comfortably. Note that a short time interval only allows the driver a short time to react and take action if any unforeseen traffic problem should arise. The number of lines for the selected time interval is shown during the setting itself and for several seconds after- wards. Then a smaller scale version of the symbol is shown to the right of the dis-

play. The same symbol is also shown when Distance Warning is activated, see page 185.

NOTE

Only use the time interval that is allowed in accordance with local traffic regulations. If cruise control does not seem to react to activation the reason may be that the time interval to the closest vehicle prevents an increase in speed. The higher the speed, the longer the calcu- lated distance in metres for a specific time interval.

The driver must then regulate the speed. A temporary increase in speed with the accel- erator pedal, e.g. during overtaking, does not affect the cruise control setting - the car returns to the last stored speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

Automatic standby mode Adaptive cruise control is dependent on other systems e.g. stability and traction control (DSTC). If any of these systems stop working then cruise control is automatically deacti- vated. In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will sound and the message Cruise control Cancelled is shown in the display. The driver must then intervene and adapt the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. An automatic deactivation can be due to: • engine speed is too low/high • speed falls below 30 km/h8
• wheels lose traction • brake temperature is high

• the radar sensor is covered e.g. by wet

snow or heavy rain (radar waves blocked).

Queue Assistant In cars with automatic gearbox the adaptive cruise control has the Queue Assistant function (sometimes also referred to as "Queue Assist"). Queue Assistant has the following functions: • Extended speed range • Change of target • Automatic braking ceases when stationary • Automatic activation parking brake. Note that the lowest programmable speed for the cruise control is 30 km/h - even though the cruise control is capable of following another vehicle down to a standstill, a lower speed cannot be selected.

Extended speed range

NOTE

In order to activate the cruise control the driver's door must be closed and the driver must be wearing the seatbelt.

• With the automatic gearbox the cruise con-

trol can follow another vehicle within the range of 0-200 km/h - right down to sta- tionary and up to 200 km/h.

NOTE

Change of target

04

Activation of the cruise control below 30 km/h requires a vehicle in front within a reasonable distance.

For shorter stops in connection with inching in slow traffic or at traffic lights driving is auto- matically resumed if the stops do not exceed about 3 seconds - if it takes longer before the car in front starts moving again then the cruise control is set in standby mode. The driver must then re-activate the cruise control in one of the following ways: • Press the steering wheel button or • Press the accelerator pedal and accelerate up to at least about 4 km/h (normal walking pace).

The cruise control will then resume following the vehicle in front.

NOTE

The cruise control can hold the car station- ary for a maximum of 2 minutes - then the parking brake is applied and the cruise con- trol is disengaged. • The driver has to release the parking brake before the cruise control can be reactivated.

If the target vehicle in front suddenly turns then there may be stationary traffic in front. When the cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds below 30 km/h and changes target from a moving to a stationary vehicle, the cruise control will slow down for the stationary vehicle.

WARNING

When the cruise control is following another vehicle at speeds in excess of 30 km/h and the target is changed from a moving vehicle to a stationary vehicle, the cruise control will ignore the stationary vehicle and instead select the stored speed. • The driver must intervene him/herself

and brake.
