MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
576

NOTE
If the starter battery becomes discharged toomany 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 thebattery 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 itis 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 least15 minutes per week or the battery should beconnected to a battery charger with automatictrickle charging.
A starter battery that is always kept fullycharged has the maximum service life.

Location
The start battery is located in the trunk.
WARNING
If the starter battery is disconnected, the func-tion for automatic opening and closing mustbe reset to function correctly. A reset isrequired in order for the pinch protection towork.

CAUTION
On certain models, the battery is secured witha tensioning strap. Make sure that the ten-sioning strap is always securely tightened.

Hybrid battery
The vehicle's electric motor is powered by arechargeable, maintenance-free, lithium-ionhybrid battery.

NOTE
The vehicle cannot be started if the hybridbattery is discharged.

NOTE
If both the starter battery and the hybrid bat-tery are discharged, both batteries must becharged. In such cases, it is not possible tocharge only the hybrid battery first.
The starter battery must have a certain levelof charge for it to be possible to charge thehybrid battery.

WARNING
Hybrid battery replacement may only be per-formed by a workshop – an authorized Volvoworkshop is recommended.

Coolant
The hybrid battery's cooling system has its ownexpansion tank.
CAUTION
Filling the hybrid battery coolant should onlybe performed by a workshop – an authorizedVolvo workshop is recommended.

Specifications for hybrid battery
Type: Lithium-ion
Power reserve: 10.4 kWh.

NOTE
The capacity of the hybrid battery decreaseswith age and use, which could result inincreased use of the combustion engine,leading to higher fuel consumption andreduced electric motor range.

Fuses and fuseboxes
All electrical functions and components are pro-tected by a number of fuses in order to protectthe vehicle's electrical system from damage byshort circuiting or overloading.

WARNING
Never use a foreign object or a fuse with ahigher amperage than that specified toreplace a fuse. This could cause significantdamage to the electrical system and possiblylead to a fire.

WARNING
Orange wiring may only be handled by quali-fied personnel.

WARNING
A number of electrical components in TwinEngine Plug-in Hybrid vehicles use high-volt-age current and can be extremely dangerousif handled incorrectly.
Do not touch anything that is not clearlydescribed in the vehicle's Owner's Manual.
If any electrical component or function is notresponding, the component may have blown afuse due to temporary overload. If the same fuseblows repeatedly, there may be a problem withthe component. Volvo recommends contacting an
authorized Volvo workshop to have the compo-nent checked.

All electrical functions and components are pro-tected by a number of fuses in order to protectthe vehicle's electrical system from damage byshort circuiting or overloading.
1. Refer to the fuse diagram to locate the fuse.
2.Pull out the fuse and examine it from theside to determine if the curved metal wire inthe fuse is intact.
3. If the wire is broken, replace the fuse with anew fuse of the same color and amperage.
WARNING
Never use a foreign object or a fuse with ahigher amperage than that specified toreplace a fuse. This could cause significantdamage to the electrical system and possiblylead to a fire.
