Climate control for Your Volvo Xc90 SUV 2020

CLIMATE CONTROL  
Climate  
Climate zones  
4-zone climate system*  
The vehicle is equipped with electronic cli-  
mate control. The climate system cools, heats  
and dehumidifies the air in the passenger  
compartment.  
The vehicle is divided into climate zones to  
make it possible to set different temperatures  
for different parts of the passenger compart-  
ment.  
All of the climate system functions are con-  
trolled from the center display and the buttons  
on the center console.  
2-zone climate system  
Certain rear seat functions can also be con-  
trolled from the climate controls* on the rear  
of the tunnel console.

In 4-zone climate systems, the passenger

and for the front and rear seats.

CLIMATE CONTROL  
Climate control sensors  
Perceived temperature  
The climate system has a number of sensors  
to help regulate the climate settings in the  
vehicle.  
The climate control system regulates the cli-  
mate in the passenger compartment based  
on perceived temperature, not actual tem-  
perature.  
The selected passenger compartment tem-  
perature is based on the physical perception of  
the current ambient temperature, airflow  
speed, humidity, sunlight in the passenger  
compartment, etc.  
Do not cover or block the sensors with  
clothing or other objects.  
Location of the sensors  
On vehicles equipped with the Interior Air  
Quality System*, there is also an air quality  
sensor in the climate system's air intake.  
Related information  
The system has a sunlight sensor that detects  
which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shin-  
ing on and adjusts the temperature accord-  
ingly. This means that the temperature of the  
air coming out of the vents may be different  
for the left and right sides, even if the tem-  
perature setting is the same for both sides.

Sunlight sensors - on the upper side of the  
dashboard.  
Humidity sensor - in the rearview mirror  
console.

Air quality  
Clean Zone*  
The materials used in the passenger compart-  
ment and air filtering system have been  
selected to ensure a high level of air quality in  
the passenger compartment.  
The Clean Zone function monitors the condi-  
tions affecting good air quality in the passen-  
ger compartment and indicates whether they  
are fulfilled or not.  
Materials used in the passenger  
compartment  
The materials in the passenger compartment  
are designed to be pleasant and comfortable,  
even for people with asthma or allergies.  
The materials have been developed and tested  
to reduce dust in the passenger compartment  
and make it easier to keep clean.  
The mats in both the passenger compartment  
and cargo compartment can be easily  
removed for cleaning.  
The indicator is shown in the center dis-  
play's Climate view.  
Use Volvo-recommended cleaning agents and  
car care products to clean the interior.  
The indicator is shown in the climate bar  
when Climate view is not open.  
Air filtering systems  
In addition to the passenger compartment air  
filter, the vehicle is also equipped with other  
air cleaning systems that help you maintain  
high air quality in the passenger compartment.  
If the conditions are not met, the text Clean  
Zone will be shown in white. When all the  
conditions are met, the text will change to  
blue.  
The following conditions must be met:

Clean Zone Interior Package*  
Interior Air Quality System*  
Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) is a series  
of modifications that filters even more allergy  
and asthma-inducing substances from the  
passenger compartment.  
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully  
automatic air quality system that removes  
gases and particles to reduce odors and con-  
taminants in the passenger compartment.  
IAQS is part of the Clean Zone Interior  
Package (CZIP) and removes air contaminants  
such as particles, hydrocarbons, nitric oxides  
and ground-level ozone.  
The blower is activated.  
Air recirculation is deactivated.  
CZIP includes the following:  
An enhanced function that starts the  
blower when the vehicle is unlocked using  
the remote key. The blower will then fill  
the passenger compartment with fresh air.  
The function starts when required and  
switches off automatically after a period of  
time or when one of the passenger com-  
partment doors is opened. The amount of  
time the blower runs gradually decreases  
due to reduced need up until the vehicle is  
4 years old.  
Clean Zone does not indicate that the air  
quality is good, but only that the conditions  
for good air quality have been met.  
If the system's air quality sensors detect con-  
taminants in the outside air, the air intake  
closes and air recirculation is activated.  
Related information  
To ensure optimal air quality in the passen-  
ger compartment, the air quality sensor  
should always be engaged.
