MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
||
NOTE
•
The higher the current take-off in the car,
the more the alternator must be working
and the batteries charging = Increased
fuel consumption.
•
When the capacity of the starter battery
has fallen below the lowest permissible
level then the Start/Stop function is dis-
engaged.
Temporarily reduced Start/Stop function due to
high current take-off means:
•
The engine starts automatically
driver depressing the clutch pedal (manual
gearbox).
•
The engine starts automatically without the
driver lifting his/her foot off the foot brake
pedal (automatic gearbox).
13 Automatic starting can only take place if the gear lever is in neutral position.
See Starter battery - general (p. 371) for detailed description of the starter battery.

Starter battery
Support battery
The support battery normally requires no more
service than the normal battery that is used for
starting. A workshop should be contacted in the
event of questions or problems - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.

IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed
then the Start/Stop function may temporarily
cease to work after the connection of an
external battery or battery charger:
•
The negative battery terminal on the car's
starter battery must never be used for
connecting an external battery or battery
charger - only the car chassis may be
used as the grounding point.
See Jump starting with another battery
(p. 279) for a description of how the cable
clamps must be attached.
