Air conditioning (optional equipment)

IMPORTANT! Make sure that the compressor starts up a couple of times during the week so that its seals are lubricated.

For health reasons you should not lower the temperature in the cab more than 6 °C (11 °F) below the outside temperature.

In damp weather

Before switching off the air conditioning, slightly raise the temperature to avoid misting in damp weather.

Short rain showers

Do not switch off the air conditioning during short rain showers, as the windows may mist up when the air conditioning stops. The air conditioning only works when the engine is running and performs best when the windows are closed.

Ask a workshop authorised by Volvo CE to check the air conditioning once a year.

Climate control system, adjusting

These instructions are basic recommendations. Each operator should experiment to achieve the best possible working environment in the cab, i.e. the right temperature without a draught.

Summer

Adjustment for machines with or without air conditioning.

On machines with air conditioning the switch should be pressed in.

Winter

Adjustment for machines with or without air conditioning.

On machines with air conditioning the switch should not be pressed in.

1 SB / ON.

ON: The monitor is on all the time when the start key is in operating position.

SB: The monitor is only on when the gear selector is in reverse.

The distance indicator is shown. This mode is recommended as normal mode in order to not distract when operating forwards.

2 LED. Is alight when the monitor is on. Halved brightness when the monitor is in stand-by position.

3 CAM-SELECT. Used to adjust the camera.

The menu with different adjustments is shown if the button is pressed and held in approx. 2 seconds, on the condition that the gear selector is not in reverse.

Press the button again to access the desired adjustment.

Hold in the button for approx. 2 seconds to close the menu. It also closes automatically after 10 seconds.
