Blower. Automatic control. Interior temperature control. Air conditioning

The blower of the Volvo S80 (2nd generation, 2013–2016) plays a central role in climate control and should always be switched on to prevent fogging of the windows. This section describes manual and automatic adjustment of the blower speed. It also explains temperature control for the driver and front passenger sides. Notes on optimal use of the air conditioning and automatic control contribute to a safe and comfortable driving experience.

The blower should always be switched on to prevent the windows from fogging.

If the blower is switched off completely, the air conditioning will not switch on, which can cause the windows to fog up.

Blower control

The rotary control increases or decreases the blower speed. When AUTO is selected, the blower speed is controlled automatically and the previously set blower speed is disregarded.

Temperature control in the vehicle interior

When the vehicle is started, the last temperature setting made is retained.

Warming up or cooling down cannot be accelerated by setting a higher or lower temperature than the one actually desired.

The current temperature for each side is shown on the center console display.

The rotary control is used to set the temperature separately for the driver and front passenger sides.

Air conditioning

The air conditioning cools and dehumidifies the incoming air as required.

When the lamp in the AC button is lit, the air conditioning is controlled automatically by the system.

When the lamp in the AC button is off, the air conditioning is deactivated. Other functions continue to be controlled automatically.

When max. defrost is activated, the air conditioning switches on automatically so that the air is dehumidified to the maximum extent.

The blower system of the Volvo S80 (2nd gen) contributes significantly to safety and comfort. It prevents the windows from fogging and supports effective climate control of the interior. In AUTO mode, the blower speed adjusts automatically to the selected settings.

The temperature can be adjusted individually for the driver and passenger sides. This way, all occupants benefit from a pleasant climate – in any weather and on every journey.

The intuitive controls make operation easy and make the S80 a vehicle that leaves nothing to be desired.
