In a world where air pollution is a growing concern, Volvo Cars has taken a step forward to ensure the well-being of its passengers with the innovative Volvo CleanZone Air Quality System. This advanced technology is designed to help provide a healthy and pleasant in-car environment by continuously monitoring and improving the air quality inside the vehicle. In conjunction with the Advanced Air Cleaner system, Volvo Cars is taking huge strides to offer customers cleaner air through cutting-edge air purification technology.
Enjoy Fresh Air With the Volvo CleanZone Air Quality System
Volvo Cars is the first among all automakers to provide fresh, clean air for an even more comfortable and healthy ride for its passengers. They have been working tirelessly since the 1990s to create this type of technology and experience for their customers, and the Volvo CleanZone system is a part of their efforts and a world-first feature for passenger cabin air quality.
The Volvo CleanZone function helps ensure fresh cabin air quality by checking and indicating whether or not conditions have been met. These requirements that need to be met for good air quality include:
- All doors and side windows as well as the moonroof and tailgate should be closed.
- The blower and optional Interior Air Quality System should be activated.
- Air recirculation should be deactivated.
Features of the Volvo CleanZone Interior Package
The CleanZone Interior Package includes various features that keep the passenger compartment even clearer from allergy and asthma-inducing substances. This package consists of an enhanced fan function that activates when the car is unlocked with a key. This fan pulls in fresh air from outside and fills the passenger compartment. It starts when needed and it turns off automatically, either when it deems necessary or if a cabin door is opened.
The package also includes the fully automatic Volvo Air Quality System with an enhanced multifilter with active carbon. This system separates gases and particles inside the cabin of the vehicle to help reduce odors and lower contaminants. It can clean the air of contaminants such as particles, hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides, and ground-level ozone.
An impressive feature of the Interior Air Quality system is the automatic air quality sensor. If this sensor detects that the outside air is contaminated, it closes the air intake and starts recirculating the air in the cabin.
Benefits of Volvo CleanZone
Driving a vehicle from a manufacturer that places such an emphasis on clean cabin air has many benefits for every passenger, regardless of whether or not you have allergies or asthma. By preventing pollutants and allergens from entering the cabin, the CleanZone system helps create a healthier environment. It can also help prevent or reduce odors, which you'll be thankful for the next time you drive by a garbage truck!
Volvo Cars Commitment to Clean Air Starts With Materials
The CleanZone interior package is an innovative and industry-leading system designed to help clean the interior air of the vehicle and reduce harmful emissions and contaminants to protect passengers, but the brand’s efforts for cleaner interior air start before the vehicle is even assembled. The materials used in the passenger compartment are purposefully selected to ensure a high level of air quality for all riders, especially those who have allergies or asthma.

Expert Opinion
I fell in love with Volvo Cars as a brand because of how deeply the company's team cares about the people who drive their vehicles. Their iconic safety engineering is certainly one part of that, but their commitment to all the little things that go into a great car experience is the other. One that can be particularly important is the air quality in the car; how many times have you pressed the "recirculate" button to keep out dust, farmland smells, or other airborne contaminants? This system is the next level for those scenarios: it can automatically detect and filter out almost every harmful airborne particle imaginable, letting you breathe easier, especially if you have pollen allergies or other seasonal afflictions.

What is Volvo CleanZone?
Volvo CleanZone is a function that monitors the conditions inside the cabin of your Volvo vehicle and tells you whether or not the conditions are met for good air quality inside your car. The CleanZone Interior Package has features to help actively clean the air inside the cabin, like a fan that turns on when your vehicle is unlocked and an Air Quality System that monitors air quality.
How does Volvo CleanZone Work?
First, the CleanZone feature detects whether or not conditions are met for good air quality. These requirements include making sure all doors and windows are closed, including the trunk. Then, it detects whether or not ventilation fans are blowing. The CleanZone Interior Package features the automatic Interior Air Quality System, which removes contaminants and monitors air quality outside the vehicle to determine whether or not to recirculate air.
How long does it take for Volvo CleanZone to work?
The CleanZone function starts working immediately, as soon as the vehicle is unlocked with the key. When the car is unlocked, CleanZone kicks into action by turning on a fan that brings in fresh air from the outside to fill the passenger compartment. The function will run until it determines it needs to stop or until someone opens a door or trunk.
