CHARGING
Your Volvo is equipped with an electric motor that mainly drives
the car at low speeds, as well as an internal combustion engine
that drives the car at higher speeds and for more active driving. The
charging time of the hybrid battery depends on the charging cur-
rent that the socket can supply. The hybrid battery is also charged
during smooth braking or engine braking, e.g. on a downhill gradi-
ent. All charging types are indicated in the driver display.
Storing the charging cable
The charging cable is located under the floor hatch in the cargo
area.
Control unit on the charging cable
The enclosed charging cable is equipped with a control unit that
shows the charging status. It supports temperature monitoring and
has a built-in ground fault breaker.
Starting charging
The starter battery is charged when the hybrid battery is charged,
and charging is terminated when the hybrid battery is fully charged.
1. Connect the charging cable to a socket. Never use an extension
cable.
2. Open the charging hatch with a gentle push, and pull away the
cover for the charging input socket.
3. Remove the charging handle's protective cover and then press
the handle the whole way into the socket for the car. The charg-
ing cable is locked automatically into the charging input socket
and charging starts within 5 seconds.
4. Position the charging handle's protective cover so that it does
not touch the car in order to avoid damage to the paintwork.
Finishing charging
1. Unlock the car with the remote control key's
ing is finished and the charging cable releases/is unlocked.
2. Detach the charging cable from the car.
3. Refit the cover for the charging input socket and close the charg-
ing hatch.
4. Detach the charging cable from the socket.
5. Return the charging cable to its place under the floor hatch in the
cargo area.
If the charging cable is not unplugged from the charging input
socket it is locked automatically again a short time after unlocking
to maximise charging and range as well as to allow preconditioning
before departure. The charging cable can be unplugged again if the
car is unlocked with the remote control key. For cars with keyless
locking/unlocking*, you can lock and lock with the handle again.

This must also be done if the car doors are already unlocked. If the car is not unlocked using
the unlock button, damage may be caused to the charging cable or the system.
