2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric Climate control

Climate

The car is equipped with electronic climate control. The climate control system cools or heats as well as dehumidifies the air in the passenger compartment.

  • All climate control system functions are controlled from the centre display and physical buttons in the centre console.
  • Some functions for the rear seat can also be controlled from the climate controls at the rear of the tunnel console.
  • Most climate functions can also be controlled using voice control. Some functions require an Internet connection for use with voice control.
Note
If necessary, climate control can be used to cool the media system in the centre display. In these cases, the message Cooling infotainment system is shown in the driver display.

Climate control – sensors

The climate control system has a number of sensors to help control the climate in the car. Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.

Sensor location

  • Sun sensor – on the upper side of the instrument panel.
  • Moisture sensor – in the casing by the interior rearview mirror.
  • Outside temperature sensor – in the right-hand door mirror.
  • Temperature sensor for the passenger compartment – by the physical buttons in the centre console.

With the Interior Air Quality System there is also an air quality sensor that is fitted into the climate control system air intake.

Climate zones

The number of climate zones that the car is divided into governs the options for setting different temperatures for different parts of the passenger compartment.

2-zone climate

  • Climate zones with 2-zone climate.

With a 2-zone climate, the temperature in the passenger compartment can be set separately for the left and right-hand sides.

Perceived temperature

The climate control system regulates the climate in the passenger compartment based on the perceived temperature, not on the actual temperature.

  • The temperature you select in the passenger compartment corresponds to the physically perceived temperature as affected by factors such as the ambient temperature, air speed, humidity, solar radiation, etc. in and around the car at the time.
  • The system includes a sun sensor that detects on which side the sun is shining into the passenger compartment. This means that the temperature can differ between the right and left-hand side’s air vents despite the controls being set for the same temperature on both sides.
