HYBRID INFORMATION
||
IMPORTANT
Multiple plugs, extension cables, overvolt-
age protection or similar devices must not
be used together with the charging cable
since this may involve a risk of fire, electric
shocks, etc.
An adapter between the 230 V socket
(alternating current) and the charging cable
may only be used if the adapter is
approved in accordance with IEC 61851
and IEC 62196.
IMPORTANT
Never unplug the charging cable from the
230 V socket (alternating current) while
charging is in progress - there is then a risk
of damaging the 230 V socket. Always
stop charging first before unplugging the
charging cable from the car's charging
input socket and then from the 230 V
socket.
IMPORTANT
Clean the charging cable with a clean
cloth, moistened with water or a mild
detergent. Do not use chemicals or sol-
vents.

WARNING
The charging cable and its associated parts
must not be swamped or immersed in
water.
IMPORTANT
Avoid exposing the control unit and its plug
to direct sunlight. In such cases, the over-
heating protection in the plug is at risk of
reducing or interrupting the charging of the
hybrid battery.

Ground fault breaker in the
charging cable
The control unit for the charging cable charg-
ing cable has a built-in ground fault breaker
that protects the car and the user from elec-
tric shocks caused by system faults.
WARNING
Charging the hybrid battery must only take
place with grounded and approved 230 V
sockets (alternating current). If the capacity
for the socket or fuse circuit is unknown,
ask a licensed electrician to check the
capacity. Charging above the capacity of a
fuse circuit may lead to fire or damage the
fuse circuit.
WARNING
The charging cable's overvoltage pro-
•
tection helps to protect the car's
charging system, but cannot guarantee
that overload will never occur.
Never use visibly worn or damaged
•
electrical sockets. This could cause fire
or serious injury.
Never connect the charging cable to a
•
cable extension.
Maintenance or replacement of the
•
hybrid battery must only be performed
by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
