HYBRID INFORMATION
422Charging cable temperature
monitoring
To help ensure the vehicle's hybrid battery is reli-
ably charged each time it is connected, charging
is stopped if the temperature in the charging
cable becomes too high and reaches a critical
limit.
CAUTION If charging is often inadvertently interrupted,
have the charging cable and the vehicle's
charging system inspected by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
Related information

Charge cable (p. 419) Opening and closing the charging
socket cover
The cover for the hybrid battery's charging
socket opens manually. Unlock the vehicle using the remote key.
Press in the rear edge of the charger door
and release.
Open the door.
Remove the charging socket's protective
cover and secure it in the holder on the
inside of the charger door. Make sure the
cover's rubber stopper is bent downward to
prevent the cover from falling out of the
holder.
CAUTION Make sure the charging socket's protective
cover is positioned so it does not damage the
paint (in e.g., windy conditions).
Perform the following steps in reverse to close
the charger door.
NOTE
Since the hatch is locked during driving, the
vehicle must be unlocked again to be able to
open the hatch.

HYBRID INFORMATION
* Option/accessory.429
Stopping hybrid battery charging
To stop charging of the hybrid battery, unlock
the vehicle, unplug the charging cable from the
vehicle's charging socket and then unplug the
cable from the 120/240 V outlet (alternating
current).
CAUTION Before the charging cable is removed from
the vehicle's charging socket, the vehicle
must be unlocked using the unlock button on
the remote key. This must be done even if the
vehicle's doors are already unlocked. If the
vehicle is not unlocked using the unlock but-
ton, the charging cable or system may be
damaged.
NOTE
Always unlock the vehicle so that charging is
cut off before the connection to the
120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current) is
disconnected. Note that the charging cable
must be disconnected from the vehicle's
charging socket before it is disconnected
from the 120/240 V outlet, partly to prevent
damage to the system and party to prevent
unintentional interruption of charging. Unlock the vehicle with the remote key.
Charging will stop.
Press the lock button on the charging
cable's handle. The handle will be released/
unlocked. Remove the cable from the vehi-
cle's charging socket, put the socket's cover
back in place and close the charger door. 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 locksIf the charging cable cannot be removed from the
charging socket, it will automatically lock into
place again after unlocking to maximize charging
and range and to enable preconditioning before
driving. The charging cable can be removed again
if the vehicle is unlocked using the remote key.
For vehicles with Passive Entry*, the handle can
be used to lock and unlock.

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
434 Starting the vehicle
The vehicle can be started using the start knob
in the tunnel console when the remote key is in
the passenger compartment. Start knob in the tunnel console.
WARNING
Before starting:
Buckle your seat belt.
Adjust the seat, steering wheel and mir-
rors.
Make sure you can fully depress the
brake pedal. The remote key is not physically used to start the
ignition because the vehicle is equipped with the
keyless Passive Start system.
To start the vehicle:
1.

The remote key must be inside the vehicle.
For vehicles with Passive Start, the key must
be in the front section of the passenger
compartment. With the optional keyless lock-
ing/unlocking function*, the key can be any-
where in the vehicle.
2. Press and hold down the brake pedal 1
as far
as possible.
3. Turn the start knob clockwise and release. The control will automatically return to the
original position.
WARNING
Never use more than one inlay mat at a
time on the driver's floor. If any other type
of floor mat is used, remove the original
mat from the driver's seat floor before
driving. All types of mats must be securely
anchored in the attachment points in the
floor. Make sure the floor mat does not
impede the movement of the brake pedal
or accelerator pedal in any way, as this
could be a serious safety hazard.
Volvo's floor mats are specially manufac-
tured for your vehicle. They must be prop-
erly secured in the attachment points in
the floor to help ensure they cannot slide
and become trapped under the pedals.
The starter motor will crank until the engine
starts or until overheating protection is triggered.
During normal start conditions, the vehicle's elec-
tric motor will be prioritized and the gasoline
engine will remain off. This means that once the
start knob is turned clockwise, the electric motor
has been "started" and the vehicle is ready to be
driven. The warning and information symbols in
the instrument panel will go out and the selected
theme will be displayed to indicate that the elec-
tric motor is activated. 1
If the vehicle is moving, it is only necessary to turn the start knob cl\
ockwise to start the engine.

STARTING AND DRIVING
}}
435
In some situations, such as in cold weather or if
the hybrid battery's charge level is too low, the
gasoline engine will start instead.
The vehicle should not be started with the charg-
ing cable connected. However, if the cable can-
not be pulled out or if the vehicle incorrectly
detects a cable that is not connected, the vehicle
can be started using an override procedure:
1.

Press the brake pedal and turn the start
knob clockwise.
2. Charge cable Remove before start will
appear in the instrument panel.
3.

Turn the start knob clockwise again.
4. Removed? Turn and hold start knob 7s
will appear. Turn the knob clockwise and hold
it for 7 seconds to start the vehicle. Location of the backup reader in the tunnel console. If the
Vehicle key not found message is shown
in the instrument panel at start, place the remote
key at the backup reader and then make a new
start attempt.
NOTE When the remote key is placed in the backup
reader, make sure that no other vehicle keys,
metal objects or electronic devices (e.g. cellu-
lar phones, tablets, laptops or chargers) are in
the backup reader. Multiple vehicle keys close
to each other in the backup reader can dis-
rupt their functionality.
If Vehicle start System check, wait is dis-
played in the instrument panel while attempting
to start the vehicle, wait until the message disap-
pears and try again to start the vehicle.
CAUTION If the engine has not responded after 3
attempts – wait for 3 minutes before starting
a new attempt. Starting capability increases if
the starter battery is given time to recover.
NOTE
The vehicle cannot be started if the hybrid
battery is discharged.
WARNING Never remove the remote control key from
the vehicle while driving.
WARNING

Always remove the remote key from the
passenger compartment when you leave
the vehicle and make sure the ignition is
in mode 0.
Always put the gear selector in P and
apply the parking brake before leaving
the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unsu-
pervised while the engine is running.
Always open the garage door fully and
make sure that ventilation is very good
before starting the engine in a garage.
The exhaust fumes produced by the vehi-
cle contain carbon monoxide, which is
invisible and odorless but very toxic.
NOTE With a cold start, idling speed may be consid-
erably higher than normal for certain engine
types. This is done to get the emissions sys-
tem up to normal operating temperature as
quickly as possible, which minimizes exhaust
emissions and protects the environment.

STARTING AND DRIVING
