584 Using the electrical outlets
The 12 V outlet can be used for devices
intended for this such as MP3 players, coolers
and cellular phones.
The high-voltage outlet* can be used for devices
intended for this, such as chargers, laptops, etc. The ignition must be in at least mode I for the
outlets to supply current. The outlets will then be
active as long as there is sufficient charge in the
start battery.
If the engine is turned off and the vehicle is
locked, the outlets will be deactivated. If the
engine is turned off and the vehicle remains
unlocked, the sockets will remain active for up to
7 minutes.
NOTE Bear in mind that using the electrical outlets
when the engine is off could cause the starter
battery to have too low of a charge level,
which could limit other functionality.
Accessories connected to the electrical out-
lets can be activated even when the vehicle
electrical system is off or if preconditioning is
used. For this reason, disconnect plugs when
they are not in use to prevent the starter bat-
tery from becoming discharged.
WARNING •
Do not use accessories with large or
heavy plugs – they could damage the out-
let or come loose while you are driving.
• Do not use accessories that could cause
disruptions to e.g. the vehicle's radio
receiver or electrical system.
• Position the accessory so that there is no
risk of it injuring the driver or passengers
in the event of heavy braking or a colli-
sion.
• Pay attention to connected accessories
as they can generate heat that could burn
passengers or the interior.

Engine compartment overview
This overview shows some service-related com-
ponents. Some of the components included in the vehi-
cle's electric drive system are located in the
engine compartment. Exercise caution when
accessing the engine compartment and only
touch what is required for normal maintenance.
WARNING Orange wiring may only be handled by quali-
fied personnel.
WARNING
Several components in the vehicle work with
high voltage that can be hazardous in case of
an incorrect procedure.
• Do not touch anything that is not clearly
described in this Owner's Manual.
• Be careful when checking/filling fluids in
the engine compartment. The layout of the engine compartment may vary depend-
ing on model and engine variant.

WARNING Bear in mind that the cooling fan (located at
the front of the engine compartment behind
the radiator) may start or continue running
automatically up to about 6 minutes after the
engine is turned off.
Always entrust engine washing to a workshop
– an authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended. If the engine is hot, there is a risk of
fire.
WARNING
The ignition system works with extremely high
and dangerous voltages. The vehicle electrical
system should always be in ignition mode 0
when work in being performed in the engine
compartment.

||MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

CAUTION
Only a modern battery charger with controlled
charge voltage should be used to charge the
starter battery. The rapid charging function
should not be used as this could damage the
battery.
NOTE
If both the starter battery and the hybrid bat-
tery are discharged, both batteries must be
charged. In such cases, it is not possible to
charge only the hybrid battery first.
The starter battery must have a certain level
of charge for it to be possible to charge the
hybrid battery.
CAUTION Failure to observe the following could cause
the infotainment energy save mode to tempo-
rarily stop working and/or a message in the
driver's display regarding the state of charge
of the starter battery may be temporarily
incorrect after an external starter battery or
battery charger has been connected:
• The negative battery terminal of the vehi-
cle's starter battery must never be used
to connect an external starter battery or
battery charger – only the vehicle's neg-
ative charging point should be used as
a grounding point.NOTE If the starter battery becomes discharged too
many times, it will shorten its service life.
The service life of the starter battery is affec-
ted by several factors, such as driving condi-
tions and climate. The starting capacity of the
battery reduces gradually over time. The bat-
tery must therefore be recharged if the vehi-
cle is not used or a long period of time or if it
is only driven short distances. Severe cold fur-
ther limits the starting capacity.
To keep the starter battery in a good condi-
tion, the vehicle should be driven at least
15 minutes per week or the battery should be
connected to a battery charger with automatic
trickle charging.
A starter battery that is always kept fully
charged has the maximum service life.

On certain models, the battery is secured with
a tensioning strap. Make sure that the ten-
sioning strap is always securely tightened.

Automatic car washes
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier to
clean because dirt does not attach as strongly. It
also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the
vehicle looking new.
Automatic car washesAn automatic car wash is a fast and easy way to
keep your vehicle clean, but it does not reach all
areas of the vehicle. For best results, Volvo rec-
ommends hand washing your vehicle or supple-
menting automatic car washes with a hand wash.
NOTE
Volvo recommends not washing the vehicle in
an automatic car wash during the first few
months; the paintwork on new vehicles takes
some time to fully harden.
CAUTION
Before driving the vehicle into a car wash,
deactivate the Automatic Braking when Sta-
tionary and Automatic Parking Brake Applica-
tion functions. If the functions are not deacti-
vated, the brake system will seize when the
vehicle is stationary and the vehicle will not be
able to roll.
CAUTION For automatic car washes in which the vehicle
is pulled forward on rolling wheels:
1.

Before washing the vehicle, make sure
that the automatic rain sensor is deacti-
vated. If it is not deactivated and inadver-
tently starts, the wiper arms could be
damaged.
2. To help prevent damage from the auto- matic car wash machinery, make sure
that the door mirrors are folded in, anten-
nas retracted or removed, and any auxili-
ary lights secured.
3. Drive into the automatic car wash.
4. Turn off the "Automatic Braking when Stationary" function using the switch in
the tunnel console.
5. Turn off the "Automatic Parking Brake Application" function in the center dis-
play's Top view.
6. Turn off the engine by turning the start knob in the tunnel console clockwise.
Hold the knob in position for at least
2 seconds.
The vehicle is now ready for the automatic car
wash.
CAUTION The system will automatically change to P
mode if the above steps are not followed. In P
mode, the wheels are locked, which they
should not be when the vehicle is being
washed in a car wash.

644Cleaning rims
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier to
clean because dirt does not attach as strongly. It
also reduces the risk of scratches and keeps the
vehicle looking new. Wash the vehicle in a car
wash or garage with an oil separator. Use a car
washing detergent.
RimsOnly use rim cleaning products recommended by
Volvo.
Strong rim cleaning agents could damage the
surface and stain the chromed aluminum rims.

Your vehicle is constructed with effective protec-
tion against corrosion.
Corrosion protection for the body consists of
modern metallic protective coatings on the sheet
metal, a high-quality painting process, corrosion-
protected and minimized metal overlap, and
shielding plastic components, abrasion protection
and supplemental rust inhibitor in exposed areas.
In the chassis, exposed components of the wheel
suspension are made of corrosion-resistant cast
aluminum.
Inspection and maintenanceThe corrosion protection does not normally
require maintenance, but keeping the vehicle
clean is always a good way to further reduce the
risk of corrosion. The use of strong alkaline or
acidic cleaning fluids should always be avoided
on shiny body components. Any stone chips in
the paint should be touched up as soon as they
are discovered.
