Jump starting
Follow the instructions provided here to jumpstart your vehicle or to jump start another vehi-cle.
Jumper cable connecting terminals

NOTE
The vehicle cannot be started if the hybridbattery is discharged.

CAUTION
The vehicle's jumper cable connecting termi-nals may only be used to start your vehicle.They are not intended to be used to help startanother vehicle. If they are used to startanother vehicle, a fuse may blow and the ter-minal will not function.
If a fuse blows, 12 V Battery Fuse failureService required will be displayed in the instru-ment panel. Contact a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician.
Use the following steps when jump starting yourvehicle to help prevent short circuits or otherdamage.
1.Switch the ignition off completely (mode 0).
2.Ensure that the auxiliary battery to be used is12-volt.
3. If the 12-volt auxiliary battery to be used is inanother vehicle, switch off that vehicle's igni-tion and be sure that the vehicles are nottouching each other.
4. Connect one of the red jumper cable'sclamps to the auxiliary battery's positive (+)terminal (1).
CAUTION
Connect the jumper cables carefully to avoidshort circuits with other components in theengine compartment.
5. Open the cover over the positive (+) jumpstart terminal (2).
6.Connect the red jumper cable's other clampto your vehicle's positive (+) jump start termi-nal (2).
7. Connect one of the black jumper cable'sclamps to the auxiliary battery's negative (–)terminal (3).
8. Connect the black jumper cable's otherclamp to your vehicle's negative (–) jumpstart terminal (4).
9. Check that the jumper cables are securelyattached to help avoid sparks when the vehi-cle is started.
10. Start the engine in the assisting vehicle andrun it for a short time at approx. 1,500 rpm.

11. Start the engine in your vehicle. If the vehicledoes not start, allow an additional10 minutes of charging time and then try tostart the engine again.

NOTE
During normal starts, the electric motor is pri-oritized and the gasoline engine will not start.This means that when the start knob hasbeen turned toward START and released, theelectric motor is activated ("started") and thevehicle is ready to be driven. The warning andinformation symbols in the instrument panelwill go out and the chosen theme will be dis-played to indicate that the electric motor hasbeen activated.

CAUTION
Do not touch the jumper cable connectionswhile the vehicle is being started. This couldgenerate sparks.
12. After the vehicle has started, carefullyremove the jumper cables in reverse order,beginning with the black one.
Ensure that the black jumper cable's clampsdo not come in contact with the vehicle's orthe auxiliary battery's positive terminals orthe red jumper cable's clamps while it is con-nected.
WARNING
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING!
Battery posts, terminals, and related accesso-ries contain lead and lead compounds, chemi-cals known to the state of California to causecancer and reproductive harm. Wash handsafter handling.

WARNING
•Do not connect the jumper cable to anypart of the fuel system or to any movingparts. Avoid touching hot manifolds.
•Batteries generate hydrogen gas, whichis flammable and explosive.
•Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do notallow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin,fabrics or painted surfaces. If contactoccurs, flush the affected area immedi-ately with water. Obtain medical helpimmediately if eyes are affected.
•Never expose the battery to open flameor electric spark.
•Do not smoke near the battery.
•Failure to follow the instructions for jumpstarting can lead to injury.

NOTE
After a cold start, idle speed may be noticea-bly higher than normal for a short period. Thisis done to help bring components in theemission control system to their normal oper-ating temperature as quickly as possible,which enables them to control emissions andhelp reduce the vehicle's impact on the envi-ronment.

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. Oil flow may not reachsome lubrication points fast enough toprevent engine damage.
•The engine should be idling when youmove the gear selector. Never accelerateuntil after you feel the transmissionengage. Accelerating immediately afterselecting a gear will cause harsh engage-ment and premature transmission wear.
•Selecting P or N when idling at a stand-still for prolonged periods of time will helpprevent overheating of the automatictransmission fluid.

NOTE
•At very low or high temperatures, some ofthe charging current is used to heat orcool the hybrid battery and the passengercompartment, which means that chargingmay take longer.
•Charging time is longer if preconditioninghas been selected. This time is primarilyaffected by the ambient temperature.
Charging coupler and charging socket
There are normally several 120-/240-volt powerconsumers in a fuse circuit, which means thatmore than one power consumer (lighting, vacuumcleaner, electric drill, etc.) may use the same fuse.
Long-term storage of a vehicle witha hybrid battery
To help keep the hybrid battery from degrading ifthe vehicle is not driven for a prolonged period(longer than 1 month), the hybrid battery chargelevel should be kept at approx. 25% accordingto the gauge in the instrument panel.
Do as follows:
1. If the hybrid battery charge level is high, drivethe vehicle until approx. 25% of the chargeremains. If the charge level is low, charge thebattery until the level is approx. 25%.
2.If the vehicle has not been driven for at least6 months or the charge level is noticeablybelow the 25% level, charge the battery upto 25% again to help compensate for naturalbattery discharge. Check the charge levelregularly using the gauge in the instrumentpanel.
See the article "Jump starting" for informationabout charging the start battery.

NOTE
•If the vehicle will not be driven for anextended period, park it in as cool a loca-tion as possible to help minimize hybridbattery aging. Park the vehicle indoors orin a shady location in the summer, which-ever is coolest.

Support battery
Vehicles equipped with Start/Stop are equippedwith two 12-volt batteries.
In addition to a heavy-duty start battery, modelswith Start/Stop also have a support battery thatprovides extra current during the Start/Stopfunction's start sequence.
The following table shows the specifications forthe support battery:
Current (V)12
Cold start capacity (ColdCranking Amperes -CCA) (A)170
Dimensions, L×W×H in.(mm)5.9×3.5×5.1(150×90×130)
Capacity (Ah)10
•When replacing the start battery or supportbattery in a vehicle with Start/Stop, anAbsorbed Glass Mat (AGM) must be used.
•The greater the current consumption in thevehicle, the more the generator has to oper-ate and the battery is charged. This increasesfuel consumption.
•When the start battery's charge is below theminimum permitted level, the Start/Stopfunction will be disabled.
When the Start/Stop function is temporarily disa-bled due to high current consumption:
•The engine will auto-start, even if the brakepedal is depressed.
The support battery does not normally requiredmore service than the start battery. If questionsarise, consult a Volvo retailer or trained and quali-fied Volvo service technician.
CAUTION
When connecting an external start battery ora battery charger, the Start/Stop function maybe temporarily disabled if the negative termi-nal on the vehicle's start battery is used toconnect an external start battery or a batterycharger. Only the negative connection pointin the engine compartment may be used as aground point.
