CAUTION
The maximum trailer weights listed are only applicable for altitudes up to 3,280 ft(1000 m) above sea level. With increasingaltitude the engine power and therefore thecar's climbing ability are impaired because ofthe reduced air density, so the maximumtrailer weight has to be reduced accordingly.The weight of the vehicle and trailer must bereduced by 10% for every further 3,280 ft(1,000 m) (or part thereof). When towing5,000 lbs (2,250 kg) hill inclination is restric-ted to 14%.
WARNING
•Bumper-attached trailer hitches must not be used on Volvos, nor should safetychains be attached to the bumper.
• Trailer hitches attaching to the vehiclerear axle must not be used.
• Never connect a trailer's hydraulic brakesystem directly to the vehicle brake sys-tem, nor a trailer's lighting system directlyto the vehicle lighting system. Consultyour nearest authorized Volvo retailer forcorrect installation.

Battery drain Your vehicle's electrical functions drain the bat- tery to varying extents.
Avoid using ignition mode II as much as posssi-
ble, or electrical functions that require a great deal of electrical current when the engine is notrunning. Using ignition mode I whenever possible con-
sumes less electrical current. Functions that require a great deal of electrical current include:
• the climate system blower
• headlights
• wipers
• infotainment system (especially at high vol- ume).
If the battery's charge level is low, a text message will appear in the instrument panel. The vehicle'senergy-saving function will then turn off orreduce certain functions that are currently con-suming electrical current. If the battery needs to be recharged, start the engine and let it idle for at least 15 minutes ordrive the vehicle (driving charges the batteryfaster than letting the engine idle).

Hybrid charging cable circuit breakerThe charging cable has a circuit breaker that helps protect against current overloads andelectrical shocks.
If the charging cable's residual current breaker is triggered, the blue indicator light in the chargecoupler will not illuminate when the cable is plug-ged into a 120-/240-volt socket or the red indi-cator light will glow steadily. Have the socketchecked by a licensed electrician or try usinganother 120-/240-volt wall socket.
WARNING
• Charging the hybrid battery may only be done from approved, grounded 120-/240-volt sockets. If the electrical circuitor electrical socket's capacity is notknown, let a licensed electrician inspectthe electrical circuit's capacity. Using acharge level that exceeds the electricalcircuit's or electrical outlet's capacity maystart a fire or damage the electrical cir-cuit.
• The charging cable's residual currentbreaker 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.

Preparations for charging the hybrid batterySeveral preparatory steps should be taken before starting to charge the hybrid battery.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
• 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
• If the hybrid battery needs to be replaced, this may only be done by Volvo retailer orauthorized Volvo workshop
Also, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for using the charging cable and its compo-nents.
Prior to chargingThe charging cable and any of its components should not be wet or submerged in any liquid. The charge module or its plug should not be exposed to direct sunlight. This could cause theunit's overheating protector to reduce or stop thehybrid battery charging process. Be sure the 120-/240-volt socket used has ade- quate current for charging electrically poweredvehicles. Have the socket checked by an licensedelectrician if you are uncertain.

Charger status indicators
The red and blue lights in the charging cable's charge module give an indication of the chargestatus.
Charge module: 1. red warning light, 2. blue status indi- cator
Red warning light
• When the charge module is initially plugged into a wall socket, the red warning light willflash once to indicate that a startup safetycheck has been performed. When the safetycheck has been completed, the blue statusindicator will glow steadily and the red warn-ing light will be off.
• If the red warning light continues to flash orglows steadily, a fault has been detected andthe charger will not deliver power to the vehi-cle. Contact a Volvo retailer or a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
Blue status indicator
• When the charge module is plugged into a wall socket, the blue status indicator illumi-nates and glows steadily to show that thecharger is ready to use.
• When the charge coupler (the plug on theother end of the charging cable) has beenplugged into the vehicle's charging socket,the blue status indicator will flash once.
• The blue status indicator will then flashapproximately every two seconds to indicatethat charging is taking place.
• When the indicator light glows steadily, thisindicates that charging has been completed.This will also be indicated by the charginggauge on the instrument panel.
When charging is completed, press the release button on the charge coupler and disconnect itfrom the vehicle. Unplug the charge module from the wall socket.

Hybrid battery charging current
Charging current is used to charge the hybrid battery and to precondition the vehicle. Chargingis done through a cable connected between thevehicle's charging socket and a120-/240-volt socket.
When charging is in progress, an indicator light in the charging socket illuminates to indicate thecharging status. Charging current is primarilyused to recharge the hybrid battery and to pre-condition the vehicle but is also used to rechargethe vehicle's start battery.
CAUTION
Never disconnect the charging cable from the 120-/240-volt socket while charging is inprogress. This could damage the socket. Always stop the charging process (by unlock- ing the vehicle) and disconnect the chargingcable from the vehicle's charging socket before disconnecting the other end from the
120-/240-volt socket being used.
