2022 Volvo S90 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid Climate controls for the passenger compartment
Activating auto climate control
With auto climate control activated, multiple climate functions are controlled automatically.
- Open the climate view in the centre display by tapping on the temperature button at the bottom centre of the centre display.
- Give a short or long press on AUTO.
-
- Short press – air recirculation, air conditioning and air distribution are controlled automatically.
- Long press – air recirculation, air conditioning and air distribution are controlled automatically, and temperature and fan speed are changed to standard settings: 22 °C (72 °F) and level 3.
Auto-regulation of the climate is activated and the button illuminates.
Note
Temperature and fan speed can be changed without deactivating the automatically-regulated climate control system. The automatically-regulated climate control system is deactivated when the air distribution is changed manually or when the maximum defroster is activated.
Regulating fan level for front seat
(For 2-zone climate, also rear seat)
The fan can be set to several different automatically controlled fan speeds for the front seat.
- Open the climate view in the centre display by tapping on the temperature button at the bottom centre of the centre display.
- Tap on the desired fan level; OFF, 1–5 or Max.
- The fan level is changed and the selected level illuminates.
Important
If the fan is fully switched off then the air conditioning is not engaged, which results in a risk of misting on the insides of the windows.
Note
The climate control system automatically adjusts the airflow within the selected fan level based on requirements. This means that the fan speed may change even though the fan level is the same.
A high fan level in the rear seat may cause increased sound volume in the front seat.
Activating and deactivating air conditioning
The air conditioning cools and dehumidifies incoming air as required.
When the air conditioning is activated, the climate control system automatically controls starting and switching off as required.
- Open the climate view in the centre display by tapping on the temperature button at the bottom centre of the centre display.
Tap on the air conditioning button.
Air conditioning is activated/deactivated and the button illuminates/extinguishes.
Note
Close all side windows and the sunroof(Option/accessory) so that the air conditioning should work as well as possible.
Note
It is not possible to activate the air conditioning when the fan control is in the Off position.
Activating and deactivating air recirculation
Air recirculation shuts out bad air, exhaust gases, etc. from outside the car by the climate control system reusing the air in the passenger compartment.
- Open the climate view in the centre display by tapping on the temperature button at the bottom centre of the centre display.
- Tap on the air recirculation button.
Air recirculation is activated/deactivated and the button illuminates/extinguishes.
Important
If the air in the car is recirculated for too long then there is a risk of misting on the insides of the windows.
Note
It is not possible to activate air recirculation when max defroster is activated.
Note
If the air quality sensor detects that the outside air is contaminated, the air intake is closed and air recirculation is activated automatically.
Activating and deactivating time setting for air recirculation
Air recirculation shuts out bad air, exhaust gases, etc. from outside the car by the climate control system reusing the air in the passenger compartment.
It is possible set whether the air recirculation timer should be activated/deactivated. When the timer is activated, air recirculation is automatically switched off after 20 minutes.
- Open the climate view in the centre display by tapping on the temperature button at the bottom centre of the centre display.
- Press
- Select the desired setting under the Recirculation timer to activate/deactivate the timer for air recirculation.
Regulating temperature for front seat
(For 2-zone climate, also rear seat)
The temperature can be set to the desired number of degrees for the front seat’s climate zones.
- Tap on the temperature button at the bottom centre of the centre display to open the control.
- Tap on the arrows to the side of the temperature to increase or decrease the temperature. There is also the option to tap directly on the arrows without first tapping on the temperature button, when the temperature is synchronised.
The temperature changes and the button shows the set temperature.
Note
Heating or cooling cannot be hastened by selecting a higher or lower temperature than the actual desired temperature.
Synchronising temperature
The temperature in the car’s different climate zones is synchronised by default with the temperature set on the driver’s side, but it is possible to deactivate synchronisation and set the temperature separately for the various climate zones.
Deactivating temperature synchronisation
- Tap on the temperature button at the bottom centre of the centre display to open the control.
Tap on the synchronisation button between the temperature controls.- The temperature can now be set separately for the various climate zones. The temperature set is now displayed separately in the climate row on the driver’s side and passenger side instead of just in the middle.
Synchronisation of the temperature can also be deactivated by changing the temperature on the passenger side.
Resetting synchronised temperature
- Press the driver’s side or passenger side temperature button at the bottom of the centre display in order to open the control.
Tap on the synchronisation button between the temperature controls.- The temperature for all zones in the car is synchronised with the temperature set for the driver’s side.
Changing air distribution
The air distribution can be changed manually if required.
- Open the climate view in the centre display by tapping on the temperature symbol at the bottom centre of the centre display.
- The air distribution buttons in the climate view are located in the centre around the AUTO button, from the top and down:
-
- Air distribution – windscreen defroster vents
- Air distribution – air vents in the instrument panel and centre console
- Air distribution – air vents in the floor
Press one or more of the air distribution buttons in order to open/close the corresponding airflow.
The air distribution is changed and the buttons illuminate/extinguish.
If all air distribution buttons are deselected in manual mode, the climate control system returns to automatically regulated climate control.
