Initiating hybrid battery charging
The hybrid battery is charged by connecting acharging cable between the vehicle and a120/240 V outlet (alternating current).
Only use the charging cable supplied with thecar or a replacement cable recommended byVolvo.

CAUTION
Never connect the charging cable if there is arisk of a thunderstorm or there is lightning.
WARNING
The charging cable must be groundedwhen 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 – an 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 anextension cord or a multiple plug socket.
Also, refer to the manufacturer's instructionsfor 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 storagecompartment under the cargo area. Note that theignition must be switched off completely beforecharging.
Plug the charging cable into a 120/240 Voutlet. Never use an extension cord.

Open the charger door. Push the charginghandle all the way into the vehicle's socket.
3.The charging cable handle will lock intoplace 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 ifthe vehicle is unlocked:
and a door is open ‒ charging will restartwithin a few minutes.
if no door is opened ‒ the vehicle willautomatically relock. Charging will resumeafter 1 minute.

CAUTION
Never detach the charging cable from the120/240 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.

Location of the LED indicator light in the vehicle'scharging socket.
The LED indicator light shows the current chargestatus during charging. If the LED indicator lightis not illuminated, check to make sure the cableis securely connected in the wall outlet and in theoutlet in the vehicle. A white, red or yellow lightilluminates when the passenger compartmentlighting is activated and will remain illuminated fora short time after the passenger compartmentlighting has gone out.

Charge module: 1. Red warning light, 2. Blue status indi-cator
When the charge module is initially plugged intoa 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.

Stopping hybrid battery charging
To stop charging of the hybrid battery, unlockthe vehicle, unplug the charging cable from thevehicle's charging socket and then unplug thecable from the 120/240 V outlet (alternatingcurrent).

CAUTION
Before the charging cable is removed fromthe vehicle's charging socket, the vehiclemust be unlocked using the unlock button onthe remote key. This must be done even if thevehicle's doors are already unlocked. If thevehicle is not unlocked using the unlock but-ton, the charging cable or system may bedamaged.

NOTE
Always unlock the vehicle so that charging iscut 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 chargingcable'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 locks
If the charging cable cannot be removed from thecharging socket, it will automatically lock intoplace again after unlocking to maximize chargingand 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 canbe used to lock and unlock.

Long-term storage of vehicles withhybrid batteries
To help minimize degradation of the hybrid bat-tery if the vehicle is not driven for a prolongedperiod (longer than 1 month) the hybrid batterycharge level should be kept at approx. 25%according to the gauge in the instrument panel.
Do as follows:
1. If the hybrid battery charge level is high, drivethe vehicle until the charge level is approxi-mately 25%. If the charge level is low, chargethe battery until the level reaches approxi-mately 25%.
2.If the vehicle is not driven for more than 6months or the hybrid battery's charge level isnoticeably below the 25% mark, charge thebattery to about 25% to help compensate forthe natural battery discharge that occurs inlong-term storage. Regularly check thecharge level using the gauge in the instru-ment display.

NOTE
Store the vehicle in as cool a location as pos-sible to minimize battery aging during long-term storage. In the summer, park the vehicleindoors or in a shady location, whichever iscooler.
