Air conditioning - A/C
Your car is equipped with a climate control system that includes either manually adjustable air
conditioning or optional Electronic Climate 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.
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 technician.
