Charging the hybrid battery
In addition to the conventional fuel tank, your
vehicle is also equipped with a rechargeable
lithium-ion hybrid battery.
WARNING
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining a pas-
senger vehicle can expose you to chemi-
cals including engine exhaust, carbon mon-
oxide, phthalates, and lead, which are
known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid
breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine
except as necessary, service your vehicle in
a well ventilated area and wear gloves or
wash your hands frequently when servicing
your vehicle. For more information go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-
vehicle.
The hybrid battery can be recharged using the
charging cable stored in a storage space in the
cargo compartment.
HYBRID INFORMATION
WARNING
The hybrid electrical system in your vehicle
uses high voltage electrical current. Any
damage to this system or to the hybrid bat-
tery may result in the danger of overheat-
ing, fire, or serious injury. If the vehicle is
involved in a collision or subjected to flood-
ing, fire, etc., have it inspected by a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician. Prior
to this inspection, the vehicle should be
parked outdoors at a safe distance from
any building or potentially flammable mate-
rials.
The hybrid battery's charging time depends on
the charging current used.
NOTE
The capacity of the hybrid battery dimin-
ishes somewhat with age and use, which
could result in increased use of the gaso-
line engine and consequently, slightly
higher fuel consumption.
WARNING
If the hybrid battery needs to be replaced,
this may only be done by a Volvo retailer or
authorized Volvo workshop.
