Charging cable residual current device The charging cable has a circuit breaker that helps protect against current overloads andthermal overheating.
WARNING
Charging the hybrid battery may only be done from approved, grounded 120/240 Voutlets (AC, alternating current). If the elec-trical circuit or electrical socket's capacityis not known, let a licensed electricianinspect the electrical circuit's capacity.Using a charge level that exceeds the elec-trical circuit's or electrical outlet's capacitymay start a fire or damage the electrical cir-cuit.
WARNING
The charging cable's residual current breaker helps protect the vehicle'scharging system but cannot ensurethat an current overload will neveroccur.
Never use visibly worn or damagedelectrical sockets. Doing so could leadto fires or serious injury.
Never connect the charging cable to anextension cord.
Maintenance or replacement of thehybrid battery may only be performedby a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
If the charging cable's residual current device
is triggered, the blue indicator light in thecharging module will not illuminate when thecharging cable is plugged into an electricaloutlet (or the red warning light will glowsteadily). Have the outlet checked by alicensed electrician or try using another walloutlet.

Charging cable temperature monitoringTo help ensure the vehicle's hybrid battery is reliably charged each time it is connected,charging is stopped if the temperature in thecharging cable becomes too high and rea-ches a critical limit.
CAUTION
If charging is often inadvertently interrup- ted, have the charging cable and the vehi-cle's charging system inspected by atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian.

Opening and closing the charging socket cover
The cover for the hybrid battery's charging socket opens manually.
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 theinside of the charger door. Make sure thecover's rubber stopper is bent downwardto prevent the cover from falling out of theholder.
CAUTION
Make sure the charging socket's protective cover is positioned so it does not damagethe paint (in e.g., windy conditions).
Perform the following steps in reverse to close the charger door.

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 light-ning.
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 thatis properly installed and grounded inaccordance with all local codes andordinances and is not damaged in anyway.
Children should be supervised when inthe vicinity of the charging cable whenit is plugged in.
High voltage is present in your electricmeter housing and power distributionservice panel. Contact with high volt-age can cause death or serious per-sonal injury.
Do not use the charging cable if it isdamaged in any way. A damaged ormalfunctioning charging cable mayonly be repaired by a workshop – anauthorized Volvo workshop is recom-mended.
Always position the charging cable sothat it will not be driven over, steppedon, tripped over or otherwise damaged,or cause personal injury.
Disconnect the charger from the walloutlet before cleaning it.
Never connect the charging cable to an extension cord or a multiple plugsocket.
Also, refer to the manufacturer's instruc- tions for using the charging cable and itscomponents.
CAUTION
Make sure that the 120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current) has a power capacitysufficient for charging electric vehicles. Ifyou are uncertain of the capacity, have theoutlet checked by a licensed electrician.
Take out the charging cable from the storage compartment under the cargo area. Note thatthe ignition must be switched off completelybefore charging.
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. Pushthe charging handle all the way into thevehicle's socket.2. The charging cable handle will lock into
place and charging will begin within5 seconds. When charging starts, thegreen LED light in the charging socket willbegin to flash. The approximate remainingcharging time or the charging status willbe displayed in 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 willresume after 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 insuch circumstances. Always interruptcharging first and then disconnect thecharging cable – first from the vehicle'scharging socket and then from the120/240 V outlet.
During charging, condensation from the air conditioning may form under the vehicle. Thisis normal and is caused by the hybrid batterycooling.

Charging status in the vehicle's charging socket
The charging status is indicated by an LED light in the charging socket.
Location of the LED indicator light in the vehicle's charging socket.
The LED indicator light shows the current charge status during charging. If the LED indi-cator light is not illuminated, check to makesure the cable is securely connected in thewall outlet and in the outlet in the vehicle. Awhite, red or yellow light illuminates when thepassenger compartment lighting is activatedand will remain illuminated for a short timeafter the passenger compartment lighting hasgone out.
LED indicator light's color Meaning
White Courtesy light. Yellow Wait modeA
– waiting for
charging to start.

.
Green Charging completed C
.
Red Malfunction.
A E.g. after a door has been opened or if the charging cable handle is not locked in place.
B The more slowly the light flashes, the closer the battery is tobeing fully charged.
C The light will go out after a short time.

Charge module: 1. Red warning light, 2. Blue status indicator
When the charge module is initially plugged into a wall outlet, 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. The charger is now readyto be used. If the red warning light continuesto flash or glows steadily, a fault has beendetected and the charger will not deliverpower to the vehicle. Contact a Volvo retaileror a certified Volvo service technician.

Stopping hybrid battery charging To stop charging of the hybrid battery, unlock the vehicle, unplug the charging cable fromthe vehicle's charging socket and thenunplug the cable from the 120/240 V outlet(alternating current).
CAUTION
Before the charging cable is removed from the vehicle's charging socket, the vehiclemust be unlocked using the unlock buttonon the remote key. This must be done evenif the vehicle's doors are already unlocked.If the vehicle is not unlocked using theunlock button, the charging cable or sys-tem may be damaged.
NOTE
Always unlock the vehicle so that charging is cut off before the connection to the120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current)is disconnected. Note that the chargingcable must be disconnected from the vehi-cle's charging socket before it is discon-nected from the 120/240 V outlet, partlyto prevent damage to the system and partyto prevent unintentional interruption ofcharging.
Unlock the vehicle with the remote key. Charging will stop.
Press the lock button on the charging cable's handle. The handle will bereleased/unlocked. Remove the cablefrom the vehicle's charging socket, put thesocket's cover back in place and close thecharger door.
Unplug the cable from the 120/240 V out- let. Stow the charging cable in the storage compartment under the cargo area floor.
Charging cable automatically locksIf the charging cable cannot be removed fromthe charging socket, it will automatically lockinto place again after unlocking to maximizecharging and range and to enable precondi-tioning before driving. The charging cable canbe removed again if the vehicle is unlockedusing the remote key. For vehicles with Passive Entry*, the handle can be used to lock
and unlock.
