HYBRID INFORMATION
416General information about Twin
Engine
Twin Engine vehicles are driven just like any
other vehicle, but certain functions differ from a
vehicle powered exclusively by gasoline. The
electric motor powers the vehicle primarily at low
speeds; the gasoline engine is used at higher
speeds or during more active driving.
The instrument panel displays Twin Engine-spe-
cific information - charging information, selected
drive mode, distance to discharged battery and
hybrid battery charge level.
Different drive modes can be selected while driv-
ing, e.g. electric power only or, if more power is
needed, a combination of electric and gasoline
power. The vehicle calculates the optimal combi-
nation of driveability, driving experience, environ-
mental impact and fuel economy for the selected
drive mode.
In order to function optimally, the hybrid battery
(and its electrical drive systems) and the gasoline
engine (and its drive systems) must be at the
correct operating temperature. Battery capacity
can be considerably reduced if the battery is too
cold or too hot. Preconditioning prepares the
vehicle's drive systems and passenger compart-
ment before driving to help reduce both wear and
energy consumption. It also helps increase the
hybrid battery's range.
The hybrid battery which powers the electric
motor is recharged using the charging cable. It can also be recharged during light braking and
through engine braking in gear position B. The
combustion engine can also help recharge the
hybrid battery.
Important
No electrical current
Keep in mind that if there is no electrical current
to the vehicle, i.e. the ignition is switched off or
the start battery is discharged, certain functions
such as brakes, power steering, etc. will not work.
WARNING If the vehicle does not have electrical current
and both the electric motor and the gasoline
engine are switched off, the brakes cannot be
used to stop the vehicle.
Towing not permitted
Never tow a Twin Engine vehicle behind another
vehicle, as this could damage the electric motor.
Exterior engine noise
WARNING
Please be aware that there is no sound from
the engine when the vehicle is being powered
by the electric motor and it may be difficult to
detect by children, pedestrians, cyclists and
animals. This is especially true at low speeds.
High-voltage electrical current
WARNING A number of electrical components in Twin
Engine Plug-in Hybrid vehicles use high-volt-
age current and can be extremely dangerous
if handled incorrectly. These components and
any orange wiring in the vehicle may only be
handled by trained and qualified Volvo service
technicians.
Do not touch anything that is not clearly descri-
bed in this Owner's Manual.

Charging current
Charging current is used to charge the hybrid
battery and precondition the vehicle. Charging is
performed by connecting a charging cable
between the vehicle's charging socket and a
120/240 V electrical socket (alternating cur-
rent).
When the charging cable is activated, a message
will be displayed in the instrument panel and an
indicator light in the vehicle's charging socket will
illuminate. Charging current is primarily used for
battery charging, but is also used for precondi-
tioning. The vehicle's start battery is charged
along with the hybrid battery.
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.
NOTE
In extremely cold or hot weather, part of
the charging current is used to heat/cool
the hybrid battery and the passenger
compartment, resulting in a longer charg-
ing time.
The charging time is longer if precondi-
tioning has been selected. The time
required depends primarily on the ambi-
ent temperature.
FuseThere are normally several 120/240 V power
consumers in one fuse circuit, which means that
more than one power consumer (e.g. lighting,
vacuum cleaner, electric drill, etc.) may use the
same fuse.

under the cargo compartment floor.
WARNING
Only use the charging cable provided with
your vehicle or a replacement cable pur-
chased from a Volvo retailer.

Open the charger door and remove the
charging socket's protective cover. Push the
charging handle all the way into the vehicle's
socket.
3.

The charging cable handle will lock into
place and charging will begin within
5 seconds. When charging starts, the green
LED light in the charging socket will begin to
flash. The approximate remaining charging
time or the charging status will be displayed
in the instrument panel.
Charging may be temporarily interrupted if
the vehicle is unlocked:
and a door is open ‒ charging will restart
within a few minutes.
if no door is opened ‒ the vehicle will
automatically relock. Charging will resume
after 1 minute.
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.
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.
