Some air vents in the passenger compartment
can be opened, closed and aimed individually.

If the door pillar vents and instrument panel outer
vents are aimed toward the side windows, then
misting can be removed.

If the door pillar vents are aimed inwards then, in
a hot climate, a comfortable environment is
obtained in the passenger compartment.

Opening/closing the air vents

Air vents for the front seat:

Air vent knob

cooler the passenger compartment air becomes.
The system can be activated when the engine is
running.

Parking climate

The climate of the car's passenger compartment
can be preconditioned or maintained while the
car is parked.

Preconditioning and climate comfort retention are con-

trolled from the Parking climate tab in the centre dis-

play's climate view.

Preconditioning

Preconditioning of the car before driving can
reduce wear and energy needs during a journey.

Preconditioning can use direct start or be set via
the timer.

The function utilises several systems in different
cases:

•

In a cold climate, the parking heater warms
up the passenger compartment to a comfort-
able temperature.

•

The air conditioning, in a hot climate, cools
the passenger compartment to the comfort
temperature.

•

Activation of heated steering wheel

* and

heated seats

* for driver and passenger can

be selected.

•

Heated windscreen, rear window and door
mirrors are automatically activated as
required.

During preconditioning in a hot climate, conden-
sation from the air conditioning may drip under
the car. This is normal.

NOTE

Preconditioning is available only when the car
is connected to an electrical socket

. A

charging station which is not always active,
e.g. on account of a timer, may cause precon-
ditioning to malfunction.

If the car is not connected to an electrical
socket, it is still possible to cool the passen-
ger compartment briefly in a warm climate by
starting preconditioning directly.

NOTE

During preconditioning of the passenger
compartment, the car works to reach comfort
temperature and not the temperature set in
the climate control system.

Climate comfort retention

The climate in the car's passenger compartment
can be maintained while the car is parked, e.g. if
the engine needs to be switched off but the
driver or passenger(s) wants to remain in the car
and maintain the level of climate comfort.

Starting climate comfort retention is only possible
via direct start.

Applicable to electric heater.

CLIMATE CONTROL

206

The function utilises several systems in different
cases:

•

Residual heat from the engine, in a cold cli-
mate, heats the passenger compartment to
comfort temperature.

•

When it is warm, the ventilation cools the
passenger compartment by blowing in air
from outside the car.

NOTE

Climate comfort retention is switched off
when the car is locked from the outside to
avoid using residual heat unnecessarily. Use
of the function is intended to maintain climate
comfort when driver or passengers remain
inside the car.

NOTE

Preconditioning is available only when the car
is connected to an electrical socket

. A

charging station which is not always active,
e.g. on account of a timer, may cause precon-
ditioning to malfunction.

If the car is not connected to an electrical
socket, it is still possible to cool the passen-
ger compartment briefly in a warm climate by
starting preconditioning directly.

NOTE

The car's doors and windows should be
closed during the preconditioning of the pas-
senger compartment.

WARNING

Do not use preconditioning

•

In unventilated spaces indoors. Exhaust
gases are emitted if the heater starts.

•

In locations with combustible or flamma-
ble material nearby. Fuel, gas, long grass,
sawdust, etc. may ignite.

•

When there is a risk that the heater’s
exhaust line may be blocked. For exam-
ple, deep snow inside the front right-hand
wheel housing can obstruct the heater’s
ventilation.

Remember that the preconditioning can be

started by a timer that has been set for a long

time in advance.

Starting from the app

Start of preconditioning and information about
the selected settings can be managed from a
device that has the Volvo On Call

* app. Precondi-

tioning heats or cools the passenger compart-
ment (using the car's air conditioning) to comfort
temperature.

The passenger compartment can also be precon-
ditioned with the car remote start function
(Engine Remote Start - ERS)

via the Volvo On

Call

* app.
