STARTING AND DRIVING
Preparation for charging the hybrid
battery
Before starting to charge the car's hybrid bat-
tery, a number of preparations need to be made.
WARNING
•
The hybrid battery must only be charged
at maximum permitted charging current
or lower in accordance with applicable
local and national recommendations for
hybrid charging from 230 VAC sockets/
plugs.
•
Charging the hybrid battery must only
take place from an approved grounded
14
230 VAC socket
or from a charging
station with a loose charging cable (Mode
3) supplied by Volvo.
•
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 dam-
age and/or personal injury if used.
•
Never use an extension cable.

Before charging
IMPORTANT
•
The charging cable and its associated
parts should not be swamped or
immersed in water.
•
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 charg-
ing of the hybrid battery.
IMPORTANT
•
Check that the 230 VAC socket has ade-
quate power capacity for charging elec-
tric vehicles - in the event of uncertainty,
the socket must be checked by a quali-
fied professional.
•
If the socket has unknown power
capacity - use the lowest level on the
control unit.
On the charging cable's control unit, set the
required charging current 6-16 A
the lowest possible charging current is preset.
Opening/closing the hatch for the
charging input socket
First unlock the car with the remote control key.
