Warming Up the Evaporator
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Connect recirculation. Set the temperature regulation to maximum heat and the fan switch to maximum speed. All ventilation outlets should be fully open. If the defroster position has been selected the compressor is under override control and can start up. Run the engine at operating temperature for 20 minutes to expel all moisture from the evaporator.
