Charge cable The charging cable is used to recharge your vehicle's hybrid battery.
The charging cable is stored in a storage compartment under the cargo compartment floor.
WARNING
Only use the charging cable provided with your vehicle or a replacement cable pur-chased from a Volvo retailer.
Specifications, charging cable
Compliance SAE J1772 Ambient tempera- ture-32
ºC to 50 ºC (-25 ºF
till 122 ºF)
WARNING
• The charging cable must be grounded when in use. It is equipped with a cordwith a grounding conductor and agrounding plug. The plug must beinserted into an appropriate outlet that isproperly installed and grounded inaccordance with all local codes and ordi-nances and is not damaged in any way.
• Children should be supervised when inthe vicinity of the charging cable when itis plugged in.
• High voltage is present in your electricmeter housing and power distributionservice panel. Contact with high voltagecan cause death or serious personalinjury.
• Do not use the charging cable if it isdamaged in any way. A damaged or mal-functioning charging cable may only berepaired by a workshop – a authorizedVolvo workshop is recommended.
• Always position the charging cable sothat it will not be driven over, stepped on,tripped over or otherwise damaged, orcause personal injury.
• Disconnect the charger from the wall out-let before cleaning it.
• Never connect the charging cable to an extension cord or a multiple plug socket.
Also, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for using the charging cable and its compo-nents.
CAUTION
Power strips, extension cords, surge protec- tors or similar devices must not be usedtogether with the charging cable since thismay involve a risk of fire, electric shocks, etc. An adapter may not be used between the 120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current)and the charging cable.
CAUTION
Never detach the charging cable from the 120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current)while charging is in progress – the120/240 V outlet could be damaged in suchcircumstances. Always interrupt charging firstand then disconnect the charging cable – firstfrom the vehicle's charging socket and thenfrom the 120/240 V outlet.

CAUTION
Wipe the charging cable with a clean cloth lightly moistened with water or a mild deter-gent. Do not use chemicals or solvents. Donot submerge the charging cable. The charging cable and its components should not be rinsed or immersed in water.
CAUTION
Avoid exposing the charging module and its plug to direct sunlight. In such cases, theoverheating protection in the plug couldreduce or cut off charging of the hybrid bat-tery.

Charging cable residual currentdevice The charging cable has a circuit breaker that helps protect against current overloads and ther-mal overheating.
If the charging cable's residual current device is triggered, the blue indicator light in the chargingmodule will not illuminate when the chargingcable is plugged into an electrical outlet (or thered warning light will glow steadily). Have the out-let checked by a licensed electrician or try usinganother wall outlet.
WARNING
Charging the hybrid battery may only be done from approved, grounded 120-/240 V outlets(AC, alternating current). If the electrical cir-cuit or electrical socket's capacity is notknown, let a licensed electrician inspect theelectrical circuit's capacity. Using a chargelevel that exceeds the electrical circuit's orelectrical outlet's capacity may start a fire ordamage the electrical circuit.

WARNING
•The charging cable's residual current breaker helps protect the vehicle's charg-ing system but cannot ensure that an cur-rent overload will never occur.
• Never use visibly worn or damaged elec-trical sockets. Doing so could lead to firesor serious injury.
• Never connect the charging cable to anextension cord.
• Maintenance or replacement of the hybridbattery may only be performed by atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian.

Charging cable temperaturemonitoring
To help ensure the vehicle's hybrid battery is reli- ably charged each time it is connected, chargingis stopped if the temperature in the chargingcable becomes too high and reaches a criticallimit.
CAUTION
If charging is often inadvertently interrupted, have the charging cable and the vehicle'scharging system inspected by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.

Initiating hybrid battery charging
The hybrid battery is charged by connecting a charging cable between the vehicle and a120/240 V outlet (alternating current). Only use the charging cable supplied with the car or a replacement cable recommended byVolvo.
CAUTION
Never connect the charging cable if there is a risk of a thunderstorm or there is lightning.
WARNING

•Disconnect the charger from the wall out- let before cleaning it.
• Never connect the charging cable to anextension cord or a multiple plug socket.
Also, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for using the charging cable and its compo-nents.
CAUTION
Make sure that the 120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current) has a power capacity suf-ficient for charging electric vehicles. If you areuncertain of the capacity, have the outletchecked by a licensed electrician.
Take out the charging cable from the storage compartment under the cargo area. Note that the ignition must be switched off completely beforecharging.
Plug the charging cable into a 120/240 V outlet. Never use an extension cord.
Open the charger door. Push the charging handle all the way into the vehicle's socket.3. The charging cable handle will lock into
place and charging will begin within5 seconds. When charging starts, the greenLED light in the charging socket will begin toflash. The approximate remaining chargingtime or the charging status will be displayedin the instrument panel. Charging may be temporarily interrupted if the vehicle is unlocked:
• and a door is open
‒ charging will restart
within a few minutes.
• if no door is opened
‒ the vehicle will
automatically relock. Charging will resumeafter 1 minute.
CAUTION
Never detach the charging cable from the 120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current)while charging is in progress – the120/240 V outlet could be damaged in suchcircumstances. Always interrupt charging firstand then disconnect the charging cable – firstfrom the vehicle's charging socket and thenfrom the 120/240 V outlet.
During charging, condensation from the air con- ditioning may form under the vehicle. This is nor-mal and is caused by the hybrid battery cooling.

Charging status in the chargingcable's charging moduleThe red and blue lights in the charging module
indicate the status of ongoing and completed charging.
Charge module: 1. Red warning light, 2. Blue status indi- cator
When the charge module is initially plugged into a wall outlet, the red warning light will flash onceto indicate that a startup safety check has beenperformed. When the safety check has beencompleted, the blue status indicator will glowsteadily and the red warning light will be off. Thecharger is now ready to be used. If the red warn-ing light continues to flash or glows steadily, afault has been detected and the charger will notdeliver power to the vehicle. Contact a Volvoretailer or a certified Volvo service technician. When the charging cable is connected to thevehicle's charging socket, the blue light will flashonce.

Stopping hybrid battery charging
To stop charging of the hybrid battery, unlock the vehicle, unplug the charging cable from thevehicle's charging socket and then unplug thecable from the 120/240 V outlet (alternatingcurrent).
NOTE
Always unlock the vehicle so that charging is cut off before the connection to the120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current) isdisconnected. Note that the charging cablemust be disconnected from the vehicle'scharging socket before it is disconnectedfrom the 120/240 V outlet, partly to preventdamage to the system and party to preventunintentional interruption of charging.
Unlock the vehicle with the remote key. Charging will stop.
Press the lock button on the charging cable's handle. The handle will be released/unlocked. Unplug the cable from the vehi-cle's charging socket and close the chargerdoor.
Unplug the cable from the 120/240 V outlet. Stow the charging cable in the storage com- partment under the cargo area floor.
Charging cable automatically locksIf the charging cable cannot be removed from thecharging socket, it will automatically lock intoplace again after unlocking to maximize charging and range and to enable preconditioning beforedriving. The charging cable can be removed againif the vehicle is unlocked using the remote key. For vehicles with Passive Entry
*, the handle can
be used to lock and unlock.
