Charging current Charging current is used to charge the hybrid battery and precondition the vehicle. Charging isperformed by connecting a charging cablebetween the vehicle's charging socket and a120/240 V electrical socket (alternating cur-rent).
When the charging cable is activated, a message will be displayed in the instrument panel and anindicator light in the vehicle's charging socket willilluminate. Charging current is primarily used forbattery charging, but is also used for precondi-tioning. The vehicle's start battery is chargedalong with the hybrid battery.
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.
NOTE
• In extremely cold or hot weather, part of the charging current is used to heat/coolthe hybrid battery and the passengercompartment, resulting in a longer charg-ing time.
• The charging time is longer if precondi-tioning has been selected. The timerequired depends primarily on the ambi-ent temperature.
There are normally several 120/240 V power consumers in one fuse circuit, which means thatmore than one power consumer (e.g. lighting,vacuum cleaner, electric drill, etc.) may use thesame fuse.

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
• 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 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 and remove the charging socket's protective cover. Push thecharging handle all the way into the vehicle'ssocket.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.

STARTING AND DRIVING
426
NOTE
With a cold start, idling speed may be consid- erably higher than normal for certain enginetypes. This is done to get the emissions sys-tem up to normal operating temperature asquickly as possible, which minimizes exhaustemissions and protects the environment.
CAUTION
•When starting in cold weather, the auto- matic transmission may shift up at slightlyhigher engine speeds than normal untilthe automatic transmission fluid reachesnormal operating temperature.
• Do not race a cold engine immediatelyafter starting. This could prevent fluidsfrom properly lubricating vital compo-nents in the engine before it has reachedthe proper operating temperature.
• The engine should be idling when thegear selector is moved. Never accelerateuntil the gear is fully engaged. Accelerat-ing rapidly before a gear is properlyengaged could lead to harder wear ofcomponents.
• To help prevent the transmission oil from overheating, select
P or N when idling at
a standstill for prolonged periods of time.

Brake functions
The vehicle's brakes are used to reduce speed or prevent the vehicle from rolling.
In addition to the wheel brakes and parking brakes, the vehicle is also equipped with a num-ber of automatic brake assist functions. Thesesystems help the driver by e.g. keeping the vehi-cle stationary when the brake pedal is notdepressed (e.g. at a traffic light or intersection),when starting up a hill or when driving down a hill. Depending on how the vehicle is equipped, the following brake assist functions may be included:
• Auto-hold brakes (Auto Hold)
• Hill Start Assist (Hill Start Assist)
• Braking assist after a collision
• City Safety
• Hill Descent Control (Hill Descent Control)

Brakes The brake pedal is used to apply the vehicle's regular brakes, which are part of the brake sys-tem.
The vehicle is equipped with two brake circuits. If one brake circuit is damaged, the brake pedal willgo down further when depressed. More pressurewill then be required from the driver for normalbraking effect.
WARNING
If the vehicle does not have electrical current and both the electric motor and the gasolineengine are switched off, the brakes cannot beused to stop the vehicle.
In very hilly areas or when driving with a heavy load, gear position B can be used to augment the
brakes with engine braking. Use the Off Road drive mode to increase the engine braking effect when driving on steepdowngrades at low speeds.
Anti-lock brakesThe vehicle is equipped with an Anti-lock BrakingSystem (ABS), which can help prevent thewheels from locking and help maintain steeringcontrol when braking. Vibrations may be felt fromthe brake pedal when ABS is operating, which isnormal. After the vehicle is started, a brief test of the ABS system is automatically performed when the driver releases the brake pedal. An additionalautomatic test of the system may be performedwhen the vehicle is traveling at a low speed. Dur-ing the test, the brake pedal may feel as though itis pulsating.
Light braking charges the hybrid batteryWhen the brakes are applied lightly, the electricmotor braking function is used. This converts thevehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy,which is used to charge the hybrid battery. Whenthe battery is being charged with the electricmotor braking function, this will be indicated inthe instrument panel.
When the battery is being charged with the electric motor braking function, this will be indicated in theinstrument panel.
This function is active at speeds in the range of 150-5 km/h (93-3 mph). When braking atspeeds outside of this range, or during harderbraking, the hydraulic braking system is used to
