Charging the hybrid battery
In addition to the fuel tank, as in a conven-
tional car, the car is equipped with a
rechargeable battery - a so-called hybrid bat-
tery of the lithium-ion type.
The hybrid battery is charged using a charging
cable which is located in a storage compart-
ment in the cargo area.
NOTE
Volvo recommends a charging cable in
accordance with IEC 62196 and IEC
61851 which supports temperature moni-
toring.
The time it takes for the hybrid battery to be
charged is dependent on the charging current
that is used.
NOTE
The capacity of the hybrid battery decrea-
ses slightly with age and use, which may
result in increased use of the petrol engine
and thereby slightly increased fuel con-
sumption.
European standard - EN 61851-1.

WARNING
Replacing the hybrid battery must only be
performed by a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
Charging cable handle and charging input socket.
Charging status is indicated in three ways:
Indicators on the charging cable's control
•
unit.
Indicator lamp in the car's charging input
•
socket.
Illustration and text in the driver display.
•
The starter battery is charged when the hybrid
battery is charging and terminated when the
hybrid battery is fully charged.
HYBRID INFORMATION
If the hybrid battery's temperature is below
-10 ºC (14 ºF) or above 40 ºC (104 ºF) then it
may mean that some of the car's functions are
changed or unavailable because the capacity
of the hybrid batteries is reduced outside this
temperature range.
Electric operation is not possible if the tem-
perature of the battery is too low or too high. If
drive mode PURE is then selected, the com-
bustion engine starts.
Charging with fixed control unit in
1
accordance with mode 3
In certain markets the control unit is installed
within a charging station connected to the
mains power circuit. In which case, the charg-
ing cable has no control unit of its own.
Instead, it has a special connector that is used
to connect the charging cable to the charging
station. Follow the instructions at the charging
station.
