Hybrid charging cable circuitbreaker
The charging cable has a circuit breaker thathelps protect against current overloads andelectrical shocks.
If the charging cable's residual current breaker istriggered, the blue indicator light in the chargecoupler will not illuminate when the cable is plug-ged into a 120-/240-volt socket or the red indi-cator light will glow steadily. Have the socketchecked by a licensed electrician or try usinganother 120-/240-volt wall socket.

WARNING
•Charging the hybrid battery may only bedone from approved, grounded 120-/240-volt sockets. If the electrical circuitor electrical socket's capacity is notknown, let a licensed electrician inspectthe electrical circuit's capacity. Using acharge level that exceeds the electricalcircuit's or electrical outlet's capacity maystart a fire or damage the electrical cir-cuit.
•The charging cable's residual currentbreaker helps protect the vehicle's charg-ing system but cannot ensure that an cur-rent overload will never occur.
•Never use visibly worn or damaged elec-trical sockets. Doing so could lead to firesor serious injury.
•Never connect the charging cable to anextension cord.
•Maintenance or replacement of the hybridbattery may only be performed by atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian.

NOTE
The capacity of the hybrid battery diminishessomewhat with age and use, which couldresult in increased use of the gasoline engineand consequently, slightly higher fuel con-sumption.
Charging is indicated in three ways:
•Charge module (the unit that is plugged intothe wall socket): The blue indicator light onthe cable's charge module will flash red sev-eral times when the unit is plugged into awall socket while a safety check is being per-formed and will then glow steadily blue toindicate that the charger is ready to use.
•A green indicator light in the vehicle's charg-ing socket will flash green while the batteryis charging and will glow steadily green whenthe hybrid battery is fully charged. The blueindicator light in the charge module will alsoflash while charging is underway and willglow steadily blue when charging is comple-ted.
•A gauge in the instrument panel will alsoindicate the battery's charge level.
The hybrid battery charging process also chargesthe vehicle's start battery.
If the hybrid battery's temperature is below –13 ºF (–10 ºC) or above +104 ºF (+40 ºC), someof the vehicle's functions may be reduced or not
be available at all (e.g., drive mode may not beavailable).
The electric motor cannot be used if the hybridbattery's temperature is too low or too high. If thePURE drive mode is selected, the gasolineengine will be used.

Temperature control
During charging, if the temperature in the charg-ing cable becomes too high and reaches a criticallimit, charging will be interrupted.

CAUTION
If charging is interrupted repeatedly, have thecharging cable and the vehicle's chargingsystem inspected by a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician.
Charging using the gasoline engine
Current is generated to charge the hybrid battery, suchas light braking and when engine braking on down-slopes
Using the B gear mode when driving on down-slopes will also recharge the hybrid battery.
The hybrid battery can also be charged by thegasoline engine. During light braking, the batteryis recharged.

Charger status indicators
The red and blue lights in the charging cable'scharge module give an indication of the chargestatus.
Charge module: 1. red warning light, 2. blue status indi-cator

Red warning light
•When the charge module is initially pluggedinto a wall socket, the red warning light willflash once to indicate that a startup safetycheck has been performed. When the safetycheck has been completed, the blue statusindicator will glow steadily and the red warn-ing light will be off.
•If the red warning light continues to flash orglows steadily, a fault has been detected andthe charger will not deliver power to the vehi-cle. Contact a Volvo retailer or a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.
Blue status indicator
•When the charge module is plugged into awall socket, the blue status indicator illumi-nates and glows steadily to show that thecharger is ready to use.
•When the charge coupler (the plug on theother end of the charging cable) has beenplugged into the vehicle's charging socket,the blue status indicator will flash once.
•The blue status indicator will then flashapproximately every two seconds to indicatethat charging is taking place.
•When the indicator light glows steadily, thisindicates that charging has been completed.This will also be indicated by the charginggauge on the instrument panel.
When charging is completed, press the releasebutton on the charge coupler and disconnect itfrom the vehicle.
Unplug the charge module from the wall socket.

Hybrid battery charging current
Charging current is used to charge the hybridbattery and to precondition the vehicle. Chargingis done through a cable connected between thevehicle's charging socket and a120-/240-volt socket.
When charging is in progress, an indicator light inthe charging socket illuminates to indicate thecharging status. Charging current is primarilyused to recharge the hybrid battery and to pre-condition the vehicle but is also used to rechargethe vehicle's start battery.
CAUTION
Never disconnect the charging cable from the120-/240-volt socket while charging is inprogress. This could damage the socket.
Always stop the charging process (by unlock-ing the vehicle) and disconnect the chargingcable from the vehicle's charging socketbefore disconnecting the other end from the120-/240-volt socket being used.
