OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The REC button is intended to be used in
combination with air conditioning (optional
equipment) and should not be used for
heating purposes.
5. FAN regulates the fan's speed.
Knob at 0 = fan switched off
Knob at 3 = full fan output (This speed is
primarily intended to be used
i n combination with air con-
ditioning.)
For maximum possible temperature rapidly:
TEMP fully clockwise
FAN to position 2 (only in extreme cases
use position 3)
Only FLOOR pushed in
Air vents half-open
This adjustment, however, provides less de-
froster effect.
To avoid or rapidly remove mist on windows:
TEMP fully clockwise
FAN to position 2 (only in extreme cases
use position 3)
Only DEF pushed in
The outer air vents half-open
When starting a car covered with snow,
clean off any snow over the air intake to the
car heater in order to avoid misting inside.
26 Air conditioning (optional)
The air conditioning is operated with the
following controls:
1. Switch on the air conditioning compres-
sor with switch AIR COND.
2. Turn control TEMP to COOL (fully anti-
clockwise) for rapid cooling. Then adjust
to a suitable temperature.
3. Push in button REC for rapid cooling.
When a suitable temperature has been
obtained,
REC does not need to be
pushed in.
4. Select a suitable fan speed with FAN.
To get the best cooling effect, all the car
windows should be closed and the push
buttons FLOOR and DEF not pushed in.
Most of the cooled air will then enter the
compartment through the four air vents on
dashboard. These, of course, must be open.
A tip: For rapid removal of mist inside the
car, the air conditioning can suitably be
used at temperatures where normal cooling
i s not desired. Proceed as follows:
1. Push in AIR COND
2. Push in REC
3. Adjust FAN to position 3
4. Adjust to desired temperature with TEMP
Let the air conditioning system run for se-
veral minutes a couple of times a month
even during the wintertime to enable the
compressor seals to be lubricated.
Let a Volvo workshop check the air condi-
tioning each year.
