WARNING •
The charging cable must be grounded
when in use. It is equipped with a cord
with a grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be
inserted into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances and is not damaged in any way.
• Children should be supervised when in
the vicinity of the charging cable when it
is plugged in.
• High voltage is present in your electric
meter housing and power distribution
service panel. Contact with high voltage
can cause death or serious personal
injury.
• Do not use the charging cable if it is
damaged in any way. A damaged or mal-
functioning charging cable may only be
repaired by a workshop – a authorized
Volvo workshop is recommended.
• Always position the charging cable so
that it will not be driven over, stepped on,
tripped over or otherwise damaged, or
cause personal injury.
• Disconnect the charger from the wall out-
let before cleaning it. •
Never connect the charging cable to an
extension cord or a multiple plug socket.
Also, refer to the manufacturer's instructions
for using the charging cable and its compo-
nents.
CAUTION Power strips, extension cords, surge protec-
tors or similar devices must not be used
together with the charging cable since this
may involve a risk of fire, electric shocks, etc.
An adapter may not be used between the
120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current)
and the charging cable.
CAUTION
Never detach the charging cable from the
120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current)
while charging is in progress – the
120/240 V outlet could be damaged in such
circumstances. Always interrupt charging first
and then disconnect the charging cable – first
from the vehicle's charging socket and then
from the 120/240 V outlet.

trical sockets. Doing so could lead to fires
or serious injury.
• Never connect the charging cable to an
extension cord.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
619
Hybrid battery
The vehicle's electric motor is powered by a
rechargeable, maintenance-free, lithium-ion
hybrid battery.
NOTE The vehicle cannot be started if the hybrid
battery is discharged.
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.
WARNING
Hybrid battery replacement may only be per-
formed by a workshop – an authorized Volvo
workshop is recommended.
CoolantThe hybrid battery's cooling system has its own
expansion tank.
CAUTION Filling the hybrid battery coolant should only
be performed by a workshop – an authorized
Volvo workshop is recommended.
SpecificationsType: Lithium-ion
Power reserve: 10.4 kWh.
NOTE
The capacity of the hybrid battery decreases
with age and use, which could result in
increased use of the combustion engine,
leading to higher fuel consumption and
reduced electric motor range.
