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 V sockets
(alternating current)/plugs.
•
Charging the hybrid battery must only
take place from an approved grounded

230 V 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 V 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.

•
The charging cable has a built-in circuit
breaker. Charging must only take place
with grounded and approved sockets.
•
Children should be supervised when in
the vicinity of the charging cable when it
is plugged in.
•
High voltage in the charging cable. Con-
tact with high voltage can cause death or
serious personal injury.
•
Do not use the charging cable if it is
damaged in any way. A damaged or inop-
erative charging cable must only be
repaired by a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
•
Always position the charging cable so
that it will not be driven over, stepped on,
tripped over or damaged in some other
way, or cause personal injury.
