Automatically connecting to a workshop
Without driver confirmation
This is the most convenient way to transmit trou- ble-shooting data. The driver does not need toconfirm that the vehicle will establish a connec-tion. If the vehicle stops at a workshop and the engine is switched off using the start knob, a messagewill appear above the status bar in the center dis-play. The vehicle will be automatically connectedwhen the driver's door is opened if the driver does not tap the
Cancel button in the message.
To help prevent the driver from being disturbed by unwanted requests to connect (e.g., if thevehicle is often parked near a workshop with anauthorized Volvo network), the vehicle will switchto manual connection if the driver cancels a con-nection request twice within 5 days.
With driver confirmation
With this alternative, the driver must confirm a connection. If the vehicle stops at a workshop and the engine is switched off using the start knob, a pop-upwindow will open in the center display. The vehi-cle will be automatically connected when the driv- er's door is opened if the driver taps
Connect in
the pop-up window. If the driver does nothing or taps the pop-up window's
Abort button, no
attempt will be made to establish a connection.
NOTE
To help prevent the driver from being distur- bed by unwanted requests to connect (e.g., ifthe vehicle is often parked near a workshopwith an authorized Volvo network), the vehiclewill switch to manual connection if the drivercancels a connection request twice within5 days.
Manually connecting to a workshopManual connections are handled by the service technician.
Changing the way a connection is madeThe type of connection (manual or automatic)can be changed in the center display's Settingsmenu.

Start battery
The vehicle's electrical system is single pole and uses the body and engine block as conductors. The start (main) battery is used to power the starter motor and other electrical componentsand systems. The start battery should only be replaced by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
The vehicle has an alternating current generator. The start battery is an Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) 12-volt battery that is dimensioned foruse in vehicles to support electrical systems andfunctions and regenerative charging. The service life of a battery is affected by factors such as driving conditions/style, the number ofstarts, climate, etc. Extreme cold may also furtherdecrease the battery

CAUTION
•The infotainment system's energy-saving feature may not function correctly or atall, and/or a message may be displayed ifa battery charger or jumper cables arenot connected properly.
• The negative terminal on the battery must never
be used to connect a jumper cable
or a battery charger. Only the ground point on the chassis may be used.
NOTE
• The service life of the start battery is shortened if it becomes dischargedrepeatedly.

WARNING
In certain models, the battery is held in place by a strap. Ensure that this strap is alwayssecurely fastened and pulled taut.
• When replacing the start battery or support battery an Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) mustbe used.
• When replacing the start battery, a new bat-tery with the same specifications and dimen-sions must be used. The battery should onlybe replaced by a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician.

Support battery Vehicles equipped with Start/Stop are equipped with two 12-volt batteries.
In addition to a heavy-duty start battery, models with Start/Stop also have a support battery thatprovides extra current during the Start/Stopfunction's start sequence.
The support battery is located in a box next to the spring strut in the engine compartment
The following table shows the specifications for the support battery:
Current (V) 12 Cold start capacity (Cold Cranking Amperes -CCA) (A) 170
Dimensions, L×W×H in. (mm)5.9×3.5×5.1
(150×90×130)
Capacity (Ah) 10
• When replacing the start battery or support battery in a vehicle with Start/Stop, anAbsorbed Glass Mat (AGM) must be used.
• The greater the current consumption in thevehicle, the more the generator has to oper-ate and the battery is charged. This increasesfuel consumption.
• When the start battery's charge is below theminimum permitted level, the Start/Stopfunction will be disabled.
When the Start/Stop function is temporarily disa-bled due to high current consumption:
• The engine will auto-start, even if the brakepedal is depressed.
The support battery does not normally requiredmore service than the start battery. If questionsarise, consult a Volvo retailer or trained and quali-fied Volvo service technician.

CAUTION
When connecting an external start battery or a battery charger, the Start/Stop function maybe temporarily disabled if the negative termi-nal on the vehicle's start battery is used toconnect an external start battery or a battery charger. Only the negative connection point
in the engine compartment may be used as a ground point.
NOTE
If the start battery is completely discharged and the vehicle has no normal electrical func-tions, and the engine is then started using anauxiliary battery or battery charger, theStart/Stop function will be activated. Theengine can then be auto-stopped but may notauto-start again due to an insufficient chargelevel in the start battery. To help ensure auto-start, the start battery should be charged first. At a temperature ofapprox. 60 °F (15 °C), the battery should becharged for at least 1 hour, preferably usingan external battery charger. At lower tempera-tures, the battery should be charged for3–4 hours. If a charger is not available, it is advisable to disable the Start/Stop function until the bat-tery is sufficiently recharged.

Fuse replacement1. See the list of fuse boxes for their locations.
2. Pull the fuse straight out and examine it fromthe side to see if the curved metal wire in the fuse is intact.
3. If the wire is broken, insert a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on thefuse).
