Air quality

Your car is designed to provide a pleasant and healthy interior climate. Air filtering helps to remove odours, substances and particles from the passenger compartment.

Passenger compartment air filter

The air going into the passenger compartment is first filtered through the climate control system. To ensure high performance, the filter needs to be replaced regularly. If the filter is exposed to intense use, such as prolonged driving through areas of smog or dust clouds, then the filter needs to be changed more frequently. If you are uncertain about what kind of filter to use, contact Volvo support.

Air quality system

The air in the passenger compartment is purified by:
  • filtering allergy and asthma-inducing substances.
  • removing gases and particles to reduce odours.
  • removing air contaminants such as particles.

If the air quality sensors detect contaminants in the outside air, the air intake closes and internal air recirculation activates.

Air cleaning

To provide a good air quality, your car is equipped with an air purification feature. By activating it, you can quickly improve the air quality in the passenger compartment.

CleanZone

CleanZone indicates whether conditions for good air quality are met or not.
