LOADING, STORAGE AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
* Option/accessory.
584 Using the electrical outlets
The 12 V outlet can be used for devices
intended for this such as MP3 players, coolers
and cellular phones.
The high-voltage outlet* can be used for devices
intended for this, such as chargers, laptops, etc. The ignition must be in at least mode I for the
outlets to supply current. The outlets will then be
active as long as there is sufficient charge in the
start battery.
If the engine is turned off and the vehicle is
locked, the outlets will be deactivated. If the
engine is turned off and the vehicle remains
unlocked, the sockets will remain active for up to
7 minutes.
NOTE Bear in mind that using the electrical outlets
when the engine is off could cause the starter
battery to have too low of a charge level,
which could limit other functionality.
Accessories connected to the electrical out-
lets can be activated even when the vehicle
electrical system is off or if preconditioning is
used. For this reason, disconnect plugs when
they are not in use to prevent the starter bat-
tery from becoming discharged.
WARNING •
Do not use accessories with large or
heavy plugs – they could damage the out-
let or come loose while you are driving.
• Do not use accessories that could cause
disruptions to e.g. the vehicle's radio
receiver or electrical system.
• Position the accessory so that there is no
risk of it injuring the driver or passengers
in the event of heavy braking or a colli-
sion.
• Pay attention to connected accessories
as they can generate heat that could burn
passengers or the interior.
Using 12 V outlets1. Remove the stopper (tunnel console) or fold
down the cover (trunk/cargo compartment)
over the socket and plug in the device.
2. Unplug the device and put the stopper back in (tunnel console) or fold up the cover
(trunk/cargo compartment) when the socket
is not in use or left unattended.
CAUTION The maximum power is 120 W (10 A) per
outlet.
Using high-voltage outletsThe ignition must be in at least mode I for outlets
to supply current. The outlets will then be active
as long as there is sufficient charge in the start
battery.
1. Slide down the cover over the outlet and plug
in the device.
>
The LED 2
light on the outlet will indicate
its status.
2. The outlet is supplying electrical current when the light is glowing steadily green.
3. Disconnect the device by pulling out the plug (do not pull on the cord).
Pull up the cover when the outlet is not in
use or is left unattended.
CAUTION The maximum power is 150 W.
WARNING
Do not attempt to alter or repair the high-volt-
age outlet on your own. Volvo recommends
contacting an authorized Volvo workshop.

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 the
vehicle. The hybrid battery is used to start the
combustion 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's
various 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 the
engine is running.
• Make sure the cables to the start battery are
correctly connected and the clamps are
securely tightened.
WARNING •
Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which
is flammable and explosive.
• Do not connect the jumper cable to any
part of the fuel system or to any moving
parts. Avoid touching hot manifolds.
• Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not
allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin,
fabrics or painted surfaces.
• If contact occurs, flush the affected area
immediately with water. Obtain medical
help immediately if eyes are affected.
• Never expose the battery to open flame
or electric spark. Do not smoke near the
battery. Failure to follow the instructions
for 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 cause
cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.Use the vehicle's connection points in the engine
compartment to connect an external start battery
or 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 the
charging points. Using the charging points to
charge another vehicle's battery could cause
a fuse to blow, which would cause the charg-
ing points to stop working.
15
An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

||MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
616
CAUTION
Only a modern battery charger with controlled
charge voltage should be used to charge the
starter battery. The rapid charging function
should not be used as this could damage the
battery.
NOTE
If both the starter battery and the hybrid bat-
tery are discharged, both batteries must be
charged. In such cases, it is not possible to
charge only the hybrid battery first.
The starter battery must have a certain level
of charge for it to be possible to charge the
hybrid battery.
CAUTION Failure to observe the following could cause
the infotainment energy save mode to tempo-
rarily stop working and/or a message in the
driver's display regarding the state of charge
of the starter battery may be temporarily
incorrect after an external starter battery or
battery charger has been connected:
• The negative battery terminal of the vehi-
cle's starter battery must never be used
to connect an external starter battery or
battery charger – only the vehicle's neg-
ative charging point should be used as
a grounding point.NOTE If the starter battery becomes discharged too
many times, it will shorten its service life.
The service life of the starter battery is affec-
ted by several factors, such as driving condi-
tions and climate. The starting capacity of the
battery reduces gradually over time. The bat-
tery must therefore be recharged if the vehi-
cle is not used or a long period of time or if it
is only driven short distances. Severe cold fur-
ther limits the starting capacity.
To keep the starter battery in a good condi-
tion, the vehicle should be driven at least
15 minutes per week or the battery should be
connected to a battery charger with automatic
trickle charging.
A starter battery that is always kept fully
charged has the maximum service life.
