HYBRID INFORMATION
||
IMPORTANT
Multiple plugs, extension cables, overvoltage
protection or similar devices must not be
used together with the charging cable since
this may involve a risk of fire, electric shocks,
etc.
An adapter between the 230 V socket (alter-
nating current) and the charging cable may
only be used if the adapter is approved in
accordance with IEC 61851 and IEC 62196.
IMPORTANT
Never unplug the charging cable from the
230 V socket (alternating current) while
charging is in progress - there is then a risk
of damaging the 230 V socket. Always stop
charging first before unplugging the charging
cable from the car's charging input socket
and then from the 230 V socket.
IMPORTANT
Clean the charging cable with a clean cloth,
moistened with water or a mild detergent. Do
not use chemicals or solvents.
The charging cable and its associated parts
must not be swamped or immersed in water.

IMPORTANT
Avoid exposing the control unit and its plug to
direct sunlight. In such cases, the overheating
protection in the plug is at risk of reducing or
interrupting the charging of the hybrid battery.

Ground fault breaker in the
charging cable
The control unit for the charging cable charging
cable has a built-in ground fault breaker that pro-
tects the car and the user from electric shocks
caused by system faults.
WARNING
Charging the hybrid battery must only take
place with grounded and approved 230 V
sockets (alternating current). If the capacity
for the socket or fuse circuit is unknown, ask
a licensed electrician to check the capacity.
Charging above the capacity of a fuse circuit
may lead to fire or damage the fuse circuit.
WARNING
The charging cable's overvoltage protec-
•
tion helps to protect the car's charging
system, but cannot guarantee that over-
load will never occur.
Never use visibly worn or damaged elec-
•
trical sockets. This could cause fire or
serious injury.
Never connect the charging cable to a
•
cable extension.
Maintenance or replacement of the hybrid
•
battery must only be performed by a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni-
cian.
