CHARGING THE HYBRID BATTERYYour Volvo is equipped with an electric motor that primarily powers the vehicle at low speeds and a combustion engine that powersthe vehicle at higher speeds and during more active driving. Thetime required to charge the hybrid battery depends on the chargingcurrent the wall socket can supply. The hybrid battery is alsorecharged during light braking or engine braking, e.g. on a down-slope. All types of charging are indicated in the instrument panel. Storing the charging cableThe charging cable is located under the cargo compartment floor.Starting charging The start battery is charged while the hybrid battery is charging and will stop charging when the hybrid battery is fully charged.
1. Connect the charging cable to a wall socket. Never use an exten- sion cord.
2. Press lightly to open the charger door and then remove the charging socket's protective cover.
3. Push the charging handle all the way into the vehicle's socket. The charging cable will automatically lock into the charging socket and charging will begin within approximately 5 seconds.
Stopping charging
1. Press the
3 button on the remote key to unlock the vehicle.
Charging will stop.
2. Press the lock button on the charging socket and then remove the charging cable from the vehicle.
3. Replace the charging socket's protective cover and close the charger door.
4. Disconnect the charging cable from the wall socket.
5. Replace the charging cable under the cargo compartment floor. If the charging cable is not removed from the socket it will auto- matically relock into place after a short period after unlocking inorder to help maximize charging and driving range and to enablepreconditioning of the vehicle before driving. The charging cablecan be released from the socket again if the vehicle is unlocked using the remote key. For vehicles with keyless locking/unlocking
*,
the vehicle can be locked and unlocked using the door handle.
3 This must be done even if the vehicle's doors are already unlocked. If the vehicle is not unlocked using the unlock button, the charging cable or the system could be damaged.

HYBRID BATTERY CHARGE STATUSThe hybrid battery's charge status can be checked in the charging socket, via the charge module, in the instrument panel and in theVolvo On Call app. Indicator lamps in the charging module When the charging cable is plugged into a wall socket, the indica- tor light on the charge module (the device connected to the wall socket) will flash red once. A safety check will be performed. Whenthe charging cable is ready to be used, the indicator light will glowsteadily blue. The light will flash blue while charging is in progress.When the light glows steadily blue, charging is complete. Flashing/steady red – a fault has been detected. Charging socket indicator lights
White - courtesy light.
Yellow - standby mode (waiting for charging to begin).
Blue - timer set.
Flashing green - charging is in progress.
Steady green - charging completed (the light will go out after a short time).
Steady red - a fault has been detected.
Instrument panel The symbol's color indicates the hybrid battery's charging status.
Blue light - charging is in progress. Green light - the battery is fully charged.Red light - a fault has occurred. Check that the charging cable is properly connected to the vehicle's chargingsocket and to the 120/240-volt wall socket.

HYBRID-RELATED INFORMATION IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
Various symbols and animations will be displayed in the instrument panel, depending on the drive mode selected. Electrical current and fuel consumption are indicated in a gauge to the right. Consumption is affected by driving style. When the whiteindicator line passes the white arrow at the top of the gauge, thecombustion engine will start. When the indicator line is in theorange section of the gauge, the hybrid battery is being charged,e.g. during light braking. Distance to discharged battery
This indicator shows the approximate distance that can be driven before the hybrid battery is discharged. This distance isaffected by a number of factors, e.g. driving style, speed andambient temperature, and may vary during the course of adrive. In normal conditions, you can expect a range of16-32 km (10-20 miles). The initial value displayed when thehybrid battery is fully charged shows a maximum possible dis-tance rather than an estimate of the range on electrical powerand is adjusted during your drive. When “---” is displayed inthe instrument panel, there is no guaranteed electrical currentremaining in the battery.
Symbols in the instrument panel
A solid white symbol indicates which power source is being used. A "lightning" symbol indicates that the electric motor isbeing used and a "drop" symbol indicates the combustionengine is being used.
Indicates that the battery is being charged, e.g. during engine braking.
This gauge indicates the current charge level in the hybrid battery. Electrical current is also used by the climate system.
Indicates that the Charge or Hold functions are active. These
are activated from the center display's Function view. Chargemeans that the hybrid battery is being charged if its charge level is low. Hold means that the battery level is being
retained for later use.
Starting and stopping the combustion engine The vehicle calculates when the combustion engine, electric motor or both need to be used. When running on the electric motor, thevehicle may sometimes need to start the engine automatically dueto external factors, e.g. low ambient temperatures. The combustionengine will always start when the hybrid battery has reached itslowest charge level.
