preparations
Before recharging the car's hybrid battery can
be started (p. 293) a number of preparations
need to be made.
WARNING
•
Charging the hybrid battery must only
take place from approved grounded
230 VAC sockets.
•
The control unit's ground fault breaker
protects the car, but there may still be
a risk of overloading the 230 VAC
mains power circuit.
•
Avoid visible worn or damaged mains
sockets since they may lead to fire
damage and/or personal injury if used.
•
Never use an extension cable.
WARNING
The hybrid battery must only be replaced
by a workshop - an authorised Volvo work-
shop is recommended.
