MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Hybrid battery
The car is equipped with a hybrid battery for
electric motor operation - a maintenance-free
rechargeable Lithium-ion type battery.

The car cannot be started if the hybrid bat-
tery is discharged.

must be charged. In such a case, charging
only the hybrid battery first is not possible.
In order for the hybrid battery to be
charged the starter battery must have a
certain state of charge.

The hybrid battery must only be replaced
by a workshop - an authorised Volvo work-
shop is recommended.

arate expansion tank.
