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
trunk.
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.
