CLIMATE CONTROL
* Option/accessory.213
Heater*
The heater helps the engine and passenger compartment reach the correct temperaturebefore and during driving.
The heater has two subfunctions: • Parking heater - heats the engine and pas- senger compartment, if necessary, when the parking climate control's preconditioning
* is
activated.
• Additional heater - heats the passenger compartment and engine, if necessary, dur-ing driving.
The heater is fuel-driven and is fitted in the frontright-hand wheel housing.
This symbol illuminates in the driverdisplay when the heater is active.
NOTE
When the heater is running, smoke may be emitted from the right-hand front wheel hous-ing and a low hum may be heard. A tickingsound from the fuel pump may also be heardfrom the rear section of the car. This is per-fectly normal.
Battery and chargingThe heater is powered by the car's starter battery. If the charge level of the starter battery is too low,then the heater is switched off automatically andthe driver display shows a message.
NOTE
Make sure that there is enough charge in the battery if the heater needs to be used.
Fuel and refuelling 6
Warning label on fuel filler flap.
The heater uses fuel from the car's normal fuel tank. If the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of the car should point downhill to ensure that there is asupply of fuel to the heater. If the level in the fuel tank is too low then theheater is switched off automatically and the driverdisplay shows a message.
NOTE
Make sure there is enough fuel in the car's normal fuel tank if the heater needs to beused.
WARNING
Fuel which spills out could be ignited. Switch off the fuel-driven heater before starting torefuel. Check in the driver display that the heater is switched off. The heat symbol is shown whenit is operating.

Electrical sockets In the tunnel console there are two 12 V electri- cal sockets and one 230 V electrical socket *, in
the cargo area there is one 12 V electricalsocket *.
For the sockets to supply current, the car's elec- trical system must be set in the lowest ignition position I. The sockets are then active as long as
the starter battery level does not become too low. If the engine is switched off and the car is locked, the sockets are deactivated. If the engine isswitched off and the car is not locked, or islocked with blocked lock position temporarilydeactivated, then the sockets continue to beactive for a further ten minutes.
NOTE
Remember that use of the electrical socket with the engine switched off entails a risk ofdischarging the starter battery, which can limitfunctionality.
230 V electrical socket *
230 V electrical socket in tunnel console, rear seat.
The socket can be used for various accessories requiring a 230 V supply, e.g. chargers and lap-top computers.
IMPORTANT
Maximum socket output is 150 W.
Using the socket
1. Pull down the socket cover and insert the
accessory's plug.
> The diode on the socket indicates its sta-tus.
2. Check that the diode is illuminated with a steady green light - only then is current avail- able at the socket. 3. Disconnect the accessory by pulling out the
plug - do not pull on the cable. Pull up the cover when the socket is not being used or the socket is left unattended.
IMPORTANT
• Do not use accessories with large or heavy connectors - they can damage thesocket or come loose when driving.
• Do not use accessories that can causeinterference to the car's radio receiver orelectrical system for example.
• Position the accessory so that it is not atrisk of injuring the driver or passengers inthe event of heavy braking or collision.
• Keep an eye on connected accessoriesas they can generate heat that can burnpassengers or the interior.
WARNING
•
Only use accessories that are undam- aged and fault-free. The accessoriesmust be rated for 230 V and 50 Hz withconnectors designed for the socket. Theaccessories must have a CE marking, ULmarking or an equivalent safety marking.
• Never allow sockets, connectors oraccessories to come into contact withwater or other liquids. Do not touch oruse the socket if it appears to be dam-

Overloading the starter battery
The electrical functions in the car load the starter battery to varying degrees. Avoid using the igni-tion position II when the car is switched off.
Instead, use ignition position I - which uses less
power.
Also, be aware of different accessories that load the electrical system. Do not use functions whichuse a lot of power when the car is switched off.Examples of such functions are:
• ventilation fan
• headlamps
• windscreen wiper
• audio system (high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low, the message
12 V Battery Low charge, will soon enter
power save mode is shown in the driver display.
The energy-saving function then shuts down cer- tain functions or reduces certain functions suchas the ventilation fan and/or audio system.
–In which case, charge the starter battery by starting the car and then running it for atleast 15 minutes - starter battery charging ismore effective during driving than runningthe engine at idling speed while stationary.

Preparations for a long trip
Before a driving holiday or some other type of long journey, it is important to check the car'sfunctions and equipment particularly carefully.
Check that:
• the engine is working normally and that fuel consumption is normal
• there are no leaks (fuel, oil or other fluid)
• all bulbs are working
• the tyres have sufficient tread depth andpressure
• a warning triangle and high-visibility vest arelocated in the car - legally required in certaincountries
• the wiper blades are in good condition.

Starter battery
The electrical system is single-pole and uses the chassis and engine casing as a conductor. The starter battery is used to start up the electri- cal system and drive the starter motor as well asother electrical equipment in the car. The starter battery should be replaced by a workshop 13
.
The car has a voltage-regulated AC alternator. The starter battery is a 12 V AGM battery, designed for the carbon dioxide reducing func-tions, Start/Stop and regenerative charging, andto support the functionality of the car's differentsystems. The service life and function of the starter battery is influenced by factors such as the number ofstarts, discharging, driving style, driving condi-tions, climatic conditions etc. • Never disconnect the starter battery when the engine is running.
• Check that the cables to the starter batteryare correctly connected and properly tight-ened.
WARNING
•
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. A spark canbe formed if a jump lead is connectedincorrectly, and this can be enough forthe battery to explode.
• The battery contains sulphuric acid, whichcan cause serious burns.
• If sulphuric acid comes into contact witheyes, skin or clothing, flush with largequantities of water. If acid splashes intothe eyes - seek medical attention imme-diately.
When connecting an external starter battery orbattery charger, use the car's charging points inthe engine compartment. The battery terminalson the car's starter battery in the cargo area must not be used.
During charging, both the starter battery and the support battery are charged.
13 An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

Positive charging point
Negative charging point
IMPORTANT
When charging the starter battery and the support battery, only use a modern batterycharger with controlled charging voltage. Fastcharging function must not be used since itmay damage the battery.
IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed then the energy saving function for infotain-ment may be temporarily disengaged, and/orthe message in the driver display about thestarter battery's state of charge may be tem-porarily inapplicable, following the connectionof an external starter battery or batterycharger:
• The negative battery terminal on the car's starter battery must
never be used for
connecting an external starter battery orbattery charger - only the car's negative
charging point may be used as the
grounding point.
NOTE
The life of the battery is shortened if it becomes discharged repeatedly. The life of the battery is affected by several factors, including driving conditions and cli-mate. Battery starting capacity decreasesgradually with time and therefore needs to berecharged if the car is not used for a longertime or when it is only driven short distances.Extreme cold further limits starting capacity. To maintain the battery in good condition, at least 15 minutes of driving/week is recom-mended or that the battery is connected to abattery charger with automatic trickle charg-ing. A battery that is kept fully charged has a maximum service life.

IMPORTANT
When replacing the starter battery or support battery, a battery of AGM 15
type must be fit-
ted.
NOTE
• The higher the current take-off in the car, the more the alternator must be workingand the batteries charging = Increasedfuel consumption.
• When the capacity of the starter batteryhas fallen below the lowest permissiblelevel then the Start/Stop function is dis-engaged.
Temporarily reduced Start/Stop function due to high current take-off means: •
The engine starts automatically 16
without the
driver depressing the clutch pedal (manualgearbox).
• The engine starts automatically without thedriver lifting his/her foot off the foot brakepedal (automatic gearbox).
The support battery normally requires no moreservice than the normal starter battery. A work-shop should be contacted in the event of ques-tions or problems - an authorised Volvo workshopis recommended.
IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed then the Start/Stop function may temporarilycease to work after the connection of anexternal starter battery or battery charger:
• The negative battery terminal on the car's starter battery must
never be used for
connecting an external starter battery orbattery charger - only the car's negative
charging point may be used as the
grounding point.
NOTE
If the starter battery has been discharged so much that the car has no normal electricalfunctions and the engine is then jump-startedwith an external battery or a battery charger,the Start/Stop function will continue to beactivated. If the Start/Stop function thenauto-stops the engine shortly after, there is agreat risk that engine auto-start will fail dueto insufficient battery capacity, because thebattery has not had the opportunity torecharge. If the car has been jump-started, or if there is insufficient time to charge the battery with abattery charger, the recommendation is totemporarily deactivate the Start/Stop functionuntil the battery has been recharged by thecar. In an outside temperature of +15 °C, thebattery needs to be charged for at least1 hour by the car. In a lower outside tempera-ture, the charging time may increase to3-4 hours. The recommendation is to chargethe battery using an external battery charger.
