Charging cable residual currentdevice
The charging cable has a circuit breaker thathelps protect against current overloads and ther-mal overheating.
WARNING
Charging the hybrid battery may only be donefrom approved, grounded 120/240 V outlets(AC, alternating current). If the electrical cir-cuit or electrical socket's capacity is notknown, let a licensed electrician inspect theelectrical circuit's capacity. Using a chargelevel that exceeds the electrical circuit's orelectrical outlet's capacity may start a fire ordamage the electrical circuit.
WARNING
The charging cable's residual currentbreaker helps protect the vehicle's charg-ing system but cannot ensure that an cur-rent overload will never occur.
Never use visibly worn or damaged elec-trical sockets. Doing so could lead to firesor serious injury.
Never connect the charging cable to anextension cord.
Maintenance or replacement of the hybridbattery may only be performed by atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian.
If the charging cable's residual current device istriggered, the blue indicator light in the chargingmodule will not illuminate when the chargingcable is plugged into an electrical outlet (or thered warning light will glow steadily). Have the out-let checked by a licensed electrician or try usinganother wall outlet.

Charging cable temperaturemonitoring
To help ensure the vehicle's hybrid battery is reli-ably charged each time it is connected, chargingis stopped if the temperature in the chargingcable becomes too high and reaches a criticallimit.
CAUTION
If charging is often inadvertently interrupted,have the charging cable and the vehicle'scharging system inspected by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician.

Initiating hybrid battery charging
The hybrid battery is charged by connecting acharging cable between the vehicle and a120/240 V outlet (alternating current).
Only use the charging cable supplied with thecar or a replacement cable recommended byVolvo.
CAUTION
Never connect the charging cable if there is arisk of a thunderstorm or there is lightning.
WARNING
The charging cable must be groundedwhen in use. It is equipped with a cordwith a grounding conductor and agrounding plug. The plug must beinserted into an appropriate outlet that isproperly installed and grounded inaccordance with all local codes and ordi-nances and is not damaged in any way.
Children should be supervised when inthe vicinity of the charging cable when itis plugged in.
High voltage is present in your electricmeter housing and power distributionservice panel. Contact with high voltagecan cause death or serious personalinjury.
Do not use the charging cable if it isdamaged in any way. A damaged or mal-functioning charging cable may only berepaired by a workshop – an authorizedVolvo workshop is recommended.
Always position the charging cable sothat it will not be driven over, stepped on,tripped over or otherwise damaged, orcause personal injury.
Disconnect the charger from the wall out-let before cleaning it.
Never connect the charging cable to anextension cord or a multiple plug socket.
Also, refer to the manufacturer's instructionsfor using the charging cable and its compo-nents.
CAUTION
Make sure that the 120/240 V outlet (AC,alternating current) has a power capacity suf-ficient for charging electric vehicles. If you areuncertain of the capacity, have the outletchecked by a licensed electrician.
Take out the charging cable from the storagecompartment under the cargo area. Note that theignition must be switched off completely beforecharging.
Plug the charging cable into a 120/240 Voutlet. Never use an extension cord.

Open the charger door. Push the charginghandle all the way into the vehicle's socket.
3.The charging cable handle will lock intoplace and charging will begin within5 seconds. When charging starts, the greenLED light in the charging socket will begin toflash. The approximate remaining chargingtime or the charging status will be displayedin the instrument panel.
Charging may be temporarily interrupted ifthe vehicle is unlocked:
and a door is open ‒ charging will restartwithin a few minutes.
if no door is opened ‒ the vehicle willautomatically relock. Charging will resumeafter 1 minute.
CAUTION
Never detach the charging cable from the120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current)while charging is in progress – the120/240 V outlet could be damaged in suchcircumstances. Always interrupt charging firstand then disconnect the charging cable – firstfrom the vehicle's charging socket and thenfrom the 120/240 V outlet.
During charging, condensation from the air con-ditioning may form under the vehicle. This is nor-mal and is caused by the hybrid battery cooling.

Charging status in the vehicle'scharging socket
The charging status is indicated by an LED lightin the charging socket.
Location of the LED indicator light in the vehicle'scharging socket.
The LED indicator light shows the current chargestatus during charging. If the LED indicator lightis not illuminated, check to make sure the cableis securely connected in the wall outlet and in theoutlet in the vehicle. A white, red or yellow lightilluminates when the passenger compartmentlighting is activated and will remain illuminated fora short time after the passenger compartmentlighting has gone out.

The red and blue lights in the charging moduleindicate the status of ongoing and completedcharging.
Charge module: 1. Red warning light, 2. Blue status indi-cator
When the charge module is initially plugged intoa 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.
