Recirculation
Recirculation can be used
to shut out bad air, ex-
haust, 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 you allow the air in the car to recirculate,
there is a risk of icing and misting, especially
in winter.
The timer function (cars with Multifilter and
air quality sensor have no timer function)
minimises the risk for ice, misting and bad
air.
Activate the function as follows:
– Press for more than 3 seconds.
The LED flashes for 5 seconds. The air
recirculates in the car for 3–12 minutes
depending on the outside temperature.
– The timer function is activated each time
you press .
To switch off the timer function:
Press again for more than 3 seconds.
The LED illuminates for 5 seconds to confirm
your selection.
Air quality system (option)
The air quality system con-
sists of a multifilter and a
sensor. The filter separates
gases and particles, there-
by reducing the volume of
odours and pollutants entering the passen-
ger compartment. When the sensor detects
contaminated outside air, the air intake is
closed and the air in the passenger compart-
ment is recirculated.
When the air quality sensor is active, the
green AUT LED illuminates in .
Operation
Press to activate the air quality
sensor (normal setting).
Or:
Select one of the following three functions by
pressing repeatedly.
• The AUT LED illuminates. The air quality
sensor is now activated.
• No LED illuminates. Recirculation is not
activated unless needed to cool in a warm
climate.
• The LED MAN lights. Recirculation is now
activated.
Keep the following in mind:
• Make it a rule to have the air quality sensor
activated at all times.
• Recirculation is limited in cold weather to
avoid misting.
• If misting occurs, you should deactivate
the air quality sensor.
• If misting occurs, you can use the defrost-
er functions for the windscreen, side win-
dows and rear window, see page 75.
Follow the Volvo service programme for the
recommended replacement interval of the
Multifilter. If the car is used in environments
where more contaminants are present, it may
be necessary to change the Multifilter more
often.
