Hello all,
Thought I would finally post on here about fan speeds, there's probably a simple explanation.
I have my fan speed set at 4 on the climate control, I have my temperature normally set at 23 degrees in these freezing times, but when i set off on my journey there is barely anything coming out of the air vents, no difference if i have the fan speed set to 1 or 5, after about 10 minutes or so you can finally feel air coming out of the vents.
Is this because the engine has finally warmed up and warm air can be sent into the cockpit? or am I missing something?
Does seem strange, every car Ive had in the past will pump air out when requested.
Is there a setting I am missing in the climate control?
Cheers.
Fan speeds.

We’re finding this to be the same too.
Except ours is a PHEV. Surely that logic shouldn’t apply here. During lockdown most of our journeys have been pure electric, and we’ve really noticed the heat up lag during the recent cold snaps.
Last car was a 330e, also a PHEV, don’t recall ever having a warm up lag with the fans on that.

Not sure I'd be wanting to be blasted with cold air while driving though - waiting for warm air seems much nicer to me. Seems a clever trick to me. Clever Volvo. Had some plinth heaters in the kitchen that were similar...they wouldn't blow until there was some heat in the pipes feeding them. Loving heated seats and steering wheel though mmm toasty
