CHARGING
Your Volvo is equipped with an electric motor that mainly drives the car
at low speeds, as well as a petrol engine that drives the car at higher
speeds and for more active driving. The charging time of the hybrid bat-
tery depends on the charging current that the socket can supply. The
hybrid battery is also charged during smooth braking or engine braking,
e.g. on a downhill gradient. All types of charging are indicated in the
driver display.
Storing the charging cable
The charging cable is stored in the storage compartment on the right-
hand side of the cargo area.
Control unit on the charging cable
The enclosed charging cable is equipped with a control unit that shows
the charging status. It supports temperature monitoring and has a built-
in ground fault breaker.
Starting charging
When the hybrid battery is charged, the car's starter battery is also
charged.
1. Connect the charging cable to a socket. Never use an extension
cable.

3. Open the charging hatch with a gentle push.
4. Remove the charging handle's protective cover and then press the
handle the whole way into the socket for the car. The charging cable
is locked automatically into the charging input socket and charging

touch the car in order to avoid damage to the paintwork.
Finishing charging
1. Unlock the car with the remote control key's
finished and the charging cable releases/is unlocked.
2. Unplug the charging cable from the car and close the hatch.
3. Detach the charging cable from the socket.
4. Return the charging cable to the storage compartment on the right-
hand side of the cargo area.
If the charging cable is not unplugged from the charging input socket, it
is locked automatically again a short time after unlocking to maximise
charging and range, as well as to allow preconditioning before depar-
ture. The charging cable can be unplugged again if the car is unlocked
with the remote control key. For cars with Passive Entry*, you can lock
