S60 Max defrost - should it be galeforce?

[BL Fanboy]

Just getting used to my S60 and messing with the controls :-)

When I press the defrost button (next to the heated rear window button), flaps can be heard and then the fan is activated along with the aircon directing air up to the screen.

Thing is, its not frantic fast compared to other cars I've had - is this normal?

Also, the climate control seems very docile, in the Omega CDX I had once, the climate control would go hell for leather initially and then slow down as the required temperature was met - particularly when cooling.

Not sure I'm impressed yet with the Volvo - it doesn't seem to do anything - perhaps that's a good sign of a good system - dunno?

What are your experiences with the Volvo system?

Cheers !

Thanks folks, yes it does seem to be behaving as you all suggest - has put my mind at rest.

Did I read correctly above, that the D5 has an electric heater assist for the cabin until the engine warms up?
