STARTING AND DRIVING
4701.
Put the ignition in mode 0.
2. Make sure the auxiliary battery (the battery used to jump start the discharged battery) has a voltage of 12 volts.
3. If the auxiliary battery is in another vehicle, turn off that vehicle's engine and make surethat the vehicles are not touching each other.
4. Clamp the red jumper cable onto the auxiliary battery's positive (+) terminal (1).
CAUTION
Connect the jump cable carefully to prevent short circuits with other components in theengine compartment.
5. Fold back the cover over your vehicle's posi- tive (+) jump start terminal (2).
6. Clamp the other end of the red jumper cable to your vehicle's positive (+) jump start termi- nal (2).
7. Clamp the black jumper cable onto the auxili- ary battery's negative (-) terminal (3).
8. Clamp the other end of the black jumper cable to your vehicle's negative (-) groundpoint (4).
9. Make sure the jumper cables are securely attached to help prevent sparks while jumpstarting. 10. Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and
let it run for a few minutes at a higher idlingspeed than normal, about 1500 rpm.
11. Start your vehicle's engine. If the engine does not start, allow an additional 10minutes of charging time and then try to startthe engine again.
NOTE
When the engine is started under normal conditions, the vehicle's electrical drive motoris prioritized – the gasoline engine remainsoff. This means that the electric motor has"started" and the vehicle is ready to be drivenonce the start knob has been turned clock-wise. Start of the electric motor is indicatedby the indicator lights on the instrument panelgoing out and its preselected theme illuminat-ing.
CAUTION
Do not touch the connections between the cable and the vehicle during the start attempt.Risk of sparking.
12. Remove the jumper cables in the reverse
order ‒ first the black cables and then the
red cables. Make sure that none of the clamps of the black jumper cables come into contact witheither vehicle's positive (+) jump start termi-nals or either of the red jumper cable's con-nected clamps.
WARNING
PROPOSITION 65 VARNING! WARNING!
Battery posts, terminals, and related accesso- ries contain lead and lead compounds, chemi-cals known to the state of California to causecancer and reproductive harm. Wash handsafter handling.
WARNING
• Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which is flammable and explosive.
• Do not connect the jumper cable to anypart of the fuel system or to any movingparts. Avoid touching hot manifolds.
• Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do notallow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin,fabrics or painted surfaces.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Start battery
The vehicle has a single-pole electrical system that uses the chassis and engine mount as con-ductors. The start battery is used to start the electrical system and power electrical equipment in thevehicle. The hybrid battery is used to start thecombustion engine. The start battery should only be replaced by a workshop 15
.
The start battery is a 12 V AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery, dimensioned for regenerative charg-ing and to support the function of the vehicle'svarious systems. The service life and performance of the start bat- tery are affected by factors such as driving style,driving conditions, climate, battery discharges,number of starts, etc.
• Never disconnect the start battery while theengine is running.
• Make sure the cables to the start battery arecorrectly connected and the clamps aresecurely tightened.
WARNING
•Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which is flammable and explosive.
• Do not connect the jumper cable to anypart of the fuel system or to any movingparts. Avoid touching hot manifolds.
• Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do notallow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin,fabrics or painted surfaces.
• If contact occurs, flush the affected areaimmediately with water. Obtain medicalhelp immediately if eyes are affected.
• Never expose the battery to open flameor electric spark. Do not smoke near thebattery. Failure to follow the instructionsfor jump starting can lead to injury.
Connection points
WARNING
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING Battery posts, terminals, and related accesso- ries contain lead and lead compounds, chemi-cals known to the state of California to causecancer and reproductive harm. Wash handsafter handling. Use the vehicle's connection points in the engine compartment to connect an external start batteryor battery charger. The battery terminals on the car's starter battery in the luggage/cargo area must
not be used.
Positive connection point
Negative connection point
CAUTION
It is not possible to charge another vehicle's battery by means of current through thecharging points. Using the charging points tocharge another vehicle's battery could causea fuse to blow, which would cause the charg-ing points to stop working.

An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
