1999 v70 climate control system V70-XC70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be jeff on  Wed Oct 16 02:04 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I recently purchased a 1999 v70 that did not come with an owner's manual. Until the one I ordered arrives, could someone describe the climate control operation. It has the two-sided arrangement. My primary curiosity is how the AUT fan speed and the AUT air distribution work. What criteria do the two controls base their "decisions" on? Also, I noticed that with one manual air distribution setting (I forget which one), the air conditioning turned itself on. It seemed strange since the outside air temperature was 47 degrees. Was it possibly blowing cold air on the windshield while blowing warm air into the seating area? Any/all response would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

    the 99V70 AC is basically automatic. When the vent control is on the defrost setting the AC is automatically turned on to remove humidity from the air. If your AC ever goes bad you'll see a big difference is defrost/defog peformance.

    The owner's manual is available online at the Volvo website.

    http://new.volvocars.com/ownerscircle/

    You need to register, but go to "Owners Circle" to "Caring for your Volvo" to "Electronic Glovebox" to "Owner's Manual" and click on "1999 SVC70". The owner's manual has pictures with labels, etc.

    The automatic climate control has several sensors and an IR sensor that tells the ACC computer if it's sunny or not. I usually pick a comfortable temperature and keep everything on "automatic" and the AC is usually running. The AC is usually programmed to run on most contemporary cars in the "defrost" setting because it dries the air, which is helpful in defogging the windshield.

    Good luck!
