Air conditioning (standard on certain models) 

How to use the air conditioner:  

1 

 Fan  

Position 4 for rapid cooling. 

2 Air conditioning (compressor)  
Start the air conditioning by pressing the panel switch. The system activates after a slight delay. 

3 

 Recirculation  

Push in for rapid cooling and during high humidity conditions. 

4 TEMP  
The selector should be in the leftmost position when the system is started. The TEMP selector can then 
be used to adjust the temperature.  
Left = cool  
Right = warm 

 

If your car is equipped with an air conditioner, the system contains CFC-12, a type of Freon®. CFC-12 
is a gas which effects the ozone layer of the earth's atmosphere. Let your Volvo dealer check your air 
conditioning system regularly for leakage.  
The system contains 2.4 lbs (1.1 kg) CFC-12 Freon. 

 

To obtain rapid cooling, all windows must be closed and buttons 

 and 

 out.  

Cool air will then be discharged through the four dash outlets which should be fully open. 

 

Note: For rapid removal of condensation from inside glass surfaces, the air conditioner can be 
switched on even when not required for interior cooling. The air conditioner will dehumidify the air 
inside the vehicle. 

 

Water under the vehicle in hot weather can be the result of condensation from the air conditioning 
system.  
Have your Volvo dealer check the system for correct operation yearly. The air conditioning system 
should be operated periodically to ensure troublefree performance year round.
