It provides Volvo owners with peace of mind for up to five years from their new vehicle purchase.

AIR CONDITIONING


Moisture condensation in the air conditioning system provides an ideal environment for mould, bacteria and fungi to grow over time, possibly causing odours. To help prevent this from happening Volvo recommends cleaning the air conditioner evaporator or refresh the air ducts, every 15,000 Km/ 12 months. For further information please ask your Authorized Volvo Retailer.


INTERIOR POLLEN FILTER - MULTI FILTER


Your Volvo has been fitted with an interior pollen filter or a multi filter, which consists of polypropylene to effectively clean the incoming air from particles such as pollen and dust down to 0.01μm. This filter will require replacement at 15,000 Km or 12 months, whichever occurs first, to remain effective.


The Multi-Filter consists of two media. The first, polypropylene will filter pollen and dust, the second media consists of active charcoal which cleans the air from gases such as hydrocarbons, organic Sulphur and hydrogen compounds. This filter is ideal for city style driving.
