Charging status in the chargingcable's charging moduleThe red and blue lights in the charging module
indicate the status of ongoing and completed charging.
Charge module: 1. Red warning light, 2. Blue status indi- cator
When the charge module is initially plugged into a wall outlet, the red warning light will flash onceto indicate that a startup safety check has beenperformed. When the safety check has beencompleted, the blue status indicator will glowsteadily and the red warning light will be off. Thecharger is now ready to be used. If the red warn-ing light continues to flash or glows steadily, afault has been detected and the charger will notdeliver power to the vehicle. Contact a Volvoretailer or a certified Volvo service technician. When the charging cable is connected to thevehicle's charging socket, the blue light will flashonce.

Stopping hybrid battery charging
To stop charging of the hybrid battery, unlock the vehicle, unplug the charging cable from thevehicle's charging socket and then unplug thecable from the 120/240 V outlet (alternatingcurrent).
NOTE
Always unlock the vehicle so that charging is cut off before the connection to the120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current) isdisconnected. Note that the charging cablemust be disconnected from the vehicle'scharging socket before it is disconnectedfrom the 120/240 V outlet, partly to preventdamage to the system and party to preventunintentional interruption of charging.
Unlock the vehicle with the remote key. Charging will stop.
Press the lock button on the charging cable's handle. The handle will be released/unlocked. Remove the cable from the vehi-cle's charging socket, put the socket's coverback in place and close the charger door.
Unplug the cable from the 120/240 V outlet. Stow the charging cable in the storage com- partment under the cargo area floor.
Charging cable automatically locksIf the charging cable cannot be removed from thecharging socket, it will automatically lock intoplace again after unlocking to maximize charging and range and to enable preconditioning beforedriving. The charging cable can be removed againif the vehicle is unlocked using the remote key. For vehicles with Passive Entry
*, the handle can
be used to lock and unlock.

Long-term storage of vehicles withhybrid batteries To help minimize degradation of the hybrid bat- tery if the vehicle is not driven for a prolongedperiod (longer than 1 month) the hybrid batterycharge level should be kept at approx. 25%according to the gauge in the instrument panel.
Do as follows:
1. If the hybrid battery charge level is high, drivethe vehicle until the charge level is approxi- mately 25%. If the charge level is low, chargethe battery until the level reaches approxi-mately 25%. 2. If the vehicle is not driven for more than 6
months or the hybrid battery's charge level isnoticeably below the 25% mark, charge thebattery to about 25% to help compensate forthe natural battery discharge that occurs inlong-term storage. Regularly check thecharge level using the gauge in the instru-ment display.
NOTE
Store the vehicle in as cool a location as pos- sible to minimize battery aging during long-term storage. In the summer, park the vehicleindoors or in a shady location, whichever iscooler.
