Introduction

G030070

The HomeLink

Wireless Control System pro-

vides a convenient way to replace up to three
hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters
used to activate devices such as gate opera-
tors, garage door openers, entry door locks,
security systems, even home lighting. Addi-
tional HomeLink information can be found on
the Internet at www.homelink.com or by phon-
ing the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.

WARNING

•

If you use HomeLink to open a garage
door or gate, be sure no one is near the
gate or door while it is in motion.

•

When programming a garage door
opener, it is advised to park outside of
the garage.

•

Do not use HomeLink with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by U.S.
federal safety standards (this includes
any garage door opener model manu-
factured before April 1, 1982). A garage
door that cannot detect an object - sig-
naling the door to stop and reverse -
does not meet current U.S. federal
safety standards. For more information,
contact HomeLink at:
www.homelink.com.

Retain the original transmitter of the RF device
you are programming for use in other vehicles
as well as for future HomeLink programming. It
is also suggested that upon the sale of the
vehicle, the programmed HomeLink buttons be
erased for security purposes. Refer to “Reset-
ting HomeLink Buttons” on page 89.

Programming HomeLink

NOTE

Some vehicles may require the ignition to be
switched on or be in the “accessories” posi-
tion for programming and/or operation of
HomeLink. It is also recommended that a
new battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being programmed
to HomeLink for quicker training and accu-
rate transmission of the radio-frequency
signal. The HomeLink buttons must be reset
first. When this has been completed, Home-
link is in learning mode so that you can per-
form programming.

Position the end of your hand-held trans-
mitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the
HomeLink button you wish to program
while keeping the indicator light in view.

Simultaneously press and hold both the
chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmit-
ter buttons until the HomeLink indicator
light changes from a slow to a rapidly blink-
ing light. Now you may release both the
HomeLink and hand-held transmitter but-
tons.

NOTE

Some devices may require you to replace
this Programming Step 2 with procedures
noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian Pro-
gramming” section. If the HomeLink indica-
tor light does not change to a rapidly blink-
ing light after performing these steps, con-
tact HomeLink at www.homelink.com or by
phoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.

Firmly press, hold for five seconds and
release the programmed HomeLink but-
ton up to two separate times to activate the
door. If the door does not activate, press
and hold the just-trained HomeLink button
and observe the indicator light.

•

If the indicator light stays on con-
stantly, programming is complete
and your device should activate when
the HomeLink button is pressed and
released.

•

If the indicator light blinks rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to a con-
stant light continue with “Program-
ming” steps 4-6 to complete the pro-
gramming of a rolling code equipped
device (most commonly a garage door
opener).

At the garage door opener receiver (motor-
head unit) in the garage, locate the “learn”

or “smart” button. This can usually be
found where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit.

Firmly press and release the “learn” or
“smart” button. (The name and color of the
button may vary by manufacturer.) There
are 30 seconds to initiate step 6.

Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold
for two seconds and release the pro-
grammed HomeLink button. Repeat the
“press/hold/release” sequence a second
time, and, depending on the brand of the
garage door opener (or other rolling code
equipped device), repeat this sequence a
third time to complete the programming
process.

HomeLink should now activate your rolling
code equipped device.

Gate Operator/Canadian Programming

Canadian radio-frequency laws require trans-
mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after sev-
eral seconds of transmission – which may not
be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the
signal during programming. Similar to this
Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to “time-out” in the same manner.

If you live in Canada or you are having difficul-
ties programming a gate operator or garage
door opener by using the “Programming” pro-

cedures, replace “Programming HomeLink”
step 2 with the following:

•

Continue to press and hold the HomeLink
button while you press and release -
every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-
held transmitter until the HomeLink indica-
tor light changes from a slow to a rapidly
blinking light. Now you may release both
the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter
buttons.

Proceed with “Programming” step 3 to com-
plete.

Using HomeLink

To operate, simply press and hold the pro-
grammed HomeLink button until the trained
device begins to operate (this may take several
seconds). Activation will now occur for the
trained device (i.e., garage door opener, gate
operator, security system, entry door lock,
home/office lighting, etc.). For convenience,
the hand-held transmitter of the device may
also be used at any time. In the event that there
are still programming difficulties or questions,
contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com or
by phoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.

programming) from the three HomeLink but-
tons (individual buttons cannot be reset but
can be “reprogrammed” as outlined in the fol-
lowing section):

Press and hold the two outer HomeLink
buttons until the indicator light begins to
flash.

Release both buttons.

> HomeLink is now in the training (or

learning) mode and can be programmed
at any time beginning with “Program-
ming” - step 1.

General information

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

Air conditioning – A/C

Your car is equipped with a climate control
system that includes either manually adjusta-
ble air conditioning or optional Electronic Cli-
mate Control (ECC).

The air conditioning system can be switched
off, but for optimal air quality in the passenger
compartment and to prevent the windows from
fogging, the air conditioning should be left on
– even in cool weather.

NOTE

In warm weather, a small amount of water
may accumulate under the car when it has
been parked. This water is condensation
from the A/C system and is normal.

Ice and snow

Always keep the air intake grille at the base of
the windshield free of snow.

Fog on the inside of the windows

The defroster function should be used to
remove fog or mist from the inside of the win-
dows. Keeping the windows clean with a com-
mercially available window washing spray will
also help prevent fogging or misting.

Climate control maintenance

Special tools and equipment are required to
maintain and carry out repairs on the climate
system. Work of this type should only be done
by a trained and qualified Volvo service tech-
nician.

Refrigerant

Volvo cares about the environment. The air
conditioning system in your car contains a
CFC-free refrigerant – R134a. This substance
will not deplete the ozone layer. The system
contains 1.2 lbs (530 g) R134a (HFC 134a), and
uses PAG oil.

Passenger compartment filter

Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at
the recommended intervals. Please refer to
your Warranty and Service Records Informa-
tion booklet, or consult a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician for these intervals.
The filter should be replaced more often when
driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The
filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should
always be replaced with a new one.

NOTE

There are different types of cabin air filters.
Ensure that the correct type is installed.

Display

The display above the climate control panel
shows the climate settings that have been
made.

Personal settings

There are two functions in the climate system
that can be set to your preferences:

•

Blower speed to Auto mode (models with
ECC only).

•

Timer controlled recirculation of the air in
the passenger compartment.

General information

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

For information about how to make these set-
tings, see the Personal settings section on
page 84.

Models equipped with Electronic
Climate Control (ECC)*

Sensors

•

The sunlight sensor is on the upper side of
the dashboard.

•

The passenger compartment temperature
sensor is located behind the climate sys-
tem control panel.

•

The ambient temperature sensor is in the
driver's side door mirror.

•

The humidity sensor is in the rearview mir-
ror.

These sensors should never be obstructed.

NOTE

The sunlight sensor monitors the side of the
vehicle from which the sun shines into the
passenger compartment. This means that
the temperature may differ slightly between
the left and right air vents, even if the climate
system temperature is set to be the same
for both sides of the passenger compart-
ment.

Side windows and optional moonroof

The electronic climate control system will func-
tion best if the windows and moonroof are
closed. If you drive with the windows or moon-
roof open, it may be preferable to manually
adjust the temperature and blower control (the
LED in the AUTO switch should be off).

Acceleration

The air conditioning system is temporarily
switched off during full throttle acceleration.

1. Blower

The blower speed can be
increased or decreased by
turning the knob. If the knob is
turned counterclockwise and
the indicator light in the dis-
play goes out, the blower and
the air conditioning are

switched off. The display shows the blower
symbol and

OFF

2. Recirculation

This function can be used to
shut out exhaust fumes,
smoke, etc from the passen-
ger compartment. The air in
the passenger compartment
is then recirculated, i.e. no air
from outside the car is taken

into the car when this function is activated.
Recirculation (together with the air condition-
ing system) cools the passenger compartment
more quickly in very warm weather. If the air in
the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk
of condensation forming on the insides of the
windows, especially in winter.

03 Climate

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

Timer

The timer function minimizes the risk of mist-
ing, or stale air when the recirculation function
is selected, see page 84 for information on set-
ting the recirculation timer. Recirculation is
always disengaged when you select
Defroster (3).

3. Defroster

Directs airflow to the wind-
shield and side windows and
increases blower speed.

When the defroster is activated:

•

Air flows to the windows at high blower
speed.

•

The LED in the defroster button lights up
when this function is activated. The air con-
ditioning system is controlled to provide
maximum air dehumidification.

•

The air conditioning is automatically
switched on (can be switched off by press-
ing button 5).

4. Airflow controls

Press one of the three buttons
in the illustration to activate
the selected airflow. A symbol
in the display above the cli-
mate control panel and a lit
LED in the selected button
indicate that the manual func-

tion has been selected. With manually selected
airflow both warm and cool air can be selected.
The desired temperature is selected using con-
trol 9.

5. A/C – On or Off

ON: The air conditioning sys-
tem is engaged when the ON
light is lit.

2. Blower speed

The blower speed can be
increased or decreased by
turning the knob. The blower
speed is regulated automati-
cally if AUTO is selected. The
previously set blower speed is
disconnected.

NOTE

If the knob is turned counterclockwise and
the blower indication in the display goes
out, the blower and the air conditioning are
switched off. The display shows the blower
symbol and

OFF

3. Recirculation

This function is used to recir-
culate the air in the passenger
compartment, which means
that when the function is
active, no outside air enters
the compartment. This is par-
ticularly useful in hot or cold

weather to cool or heat the passenger com-
partment faster, or to help shut out exhaust
fumes, etc.

Press the button repeatedly to close out out-
side air (recirculation) or to let outside air flow
into the passenger compartment.

•

If the green indicator light to the left is on,
recirculation is on and no outside air flows
into the passenger compartment.

•

If the green indicator light to the right is on,
outside air flows into the passenger com-
partment.

While the indicator light on the right side is on,
the ECC system automatically controls the flow
of air into the passenger compartment and the
air intake is opened or closed depending on the
outside temperature, the need to heat or cool
the compartment, etc.

If the air in the car recirculates for too long,
there is a risk of condensation forming on the
insides of the windows, especially in winter.

Recirculation timer

The timer function minimizes the risk of fogging
or stale air when the recirculation function is
selected, see page 84 for information on set-
ting the recirculation timer.

NOTE

If the defroster function is switched on (by
pressing button 4), recirculation is always
disengaged.

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS)*

This system consists of a mul-
tifilter that helps reduce gases
and particles in the incoming
air and an air quality sensor
that detects increased levels
of contaminants in the outside
air. When the air quality sen-

sor detects contaminated outside air, the air
intake closes and the air inside the passenger
compartment is recirculated. The filter also
cleans recirculated passenger compartment
air.

When IAQS is engaged, the green indicator
light above A is illuminated.

To activate IAQS:

–

Press AUTO (1).

Or:

Toggle between the system's three modes by
pressing the button the recirculation button
repeatedly.

•

The green indicator light above A is on:
IAQS is engaged. Outside air flows into the
passenger compartment and is filtered.
While this light is on, the ECC system auto-
matically controls the flow of air into the
passenger compartment and the air intake
is opened or closed depending on the out-
side temperature, the need to heat or cool

the compartment or if the IAQS sensor has
detected contaminants in the incoming air.

•

The green indicator light above M is on:
recirculation is engaged and no outside air
flows into the passenger compartment.

•

Both indicator lights are off. Recirculation
is switched off (unless ECC activates it to
help cool the passenger compartment
faster in hot weather). Outside air flows into
the passenger compartment and is filtered.
However, when both indicator lights are
off, the IAQS sensor is deactivated and will
not monitor the outside air for contami-
nants.

Keep the following in mind:

•

As a rule, IAQS should always be engaged.

•

In cold weather, the recirculation function
is limited to help avoid condensation on the
windows.

•

If condensation forms, using the defroster
functions for the windshield/front side win-
dows and the rear window will help clear
the condensation.

4. Defroster

Directs airflow to the wind-
shield and side windows and
increases blower speed.
When the defroster is acti-
vated:

•

Air flows to the windows at high blower
speed.

•

The LED in the defroster button lights up
when this function is activated. The air con-
ditioning system is controlled to provide
maximum air dehumidification.

•

window free from ice or condensation.

10. Temperature selector

The temperatures on the driv-
er's and passenger's sides
can be set separately using
the knob (with the thermome-
ter in it). The temperature can
be set for both sides of the car
when the ignition is switched

on (both LEDs will be on), which means that a
temperature setting will apply to both sides of
the car.

To set the temperature on one side of the car:
