Clean inside and out is a concept that has now been introduced both in the Volvo S80 and the Volvo V70. In an age when many people suffer from allergies, it is quite natural for Volvo Cars to provide its customers with a good in-car environment. This involves both choosing the right materials and purifying the air that enters the car via the climate unit. All interior textiles are free of hazardous substances and residual products. This is particularly important for children and people who are hypersensitive.
Effective filters mean that the air inside the car is cleaner than it is outside.
The new Volvo V70 is fitted as standard with an effective particle filter that catches pollen and dirt particles on their way into the car. The new Volvo V70 is equipped with a ventilation system that has further functions aimed at improving the in-car air quality. In addition to the particle filter, there is a filter with active carbon and a gas sensor that registers the incoming air. The ventilation system monitors the levels of toxic carbon monoxide in the incoming air and closes the air intake before the levels inside the car become unhealthy when driving behind trucks, for example, or in traffic jams and tunnels. In such conditions, it converts up to 75 per cent of the ozone into oxygen.
