Stopping hybrid battery charging To stop charging of the hybrid battery, unlock the vehicle, unplug the charging cable fromthe vehicle's charging socket and thenunplug the cable from the 120/240 V outlet(alternating current).
CAUTION
Before the charging cable is removed from the vehicle's charging socket, the vehiclemust be unlocked using the unlock buttonon the remote key. This must be done evenif the vehicle's doors are already unlocked.If the vehicle is not unlocked using theunlock button, the charging cable or sys-tem may be damaged.
NOTE
Always unlock the vehicle so that charging is cut off before the connection to the120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current)is disconnected. Note that the chargingcable must be disconnected from the vehi-cle's charging socket before it is discon-nected from the 120/240 V outlet, partlyto prevent damage to the system and partyto prevent unintentional interruption ofcharging.
Unlock the vehicle with the remote key. Charging will stop.
Press the lock button on the charging cable's handle. The handle will bereleased/unlocked. Unplug the cable fromthe vehicle's charging socket and closethe charger door.

Long-term storage of vehicles with hybrid batteries To help minimize degradation of the hybrid battery if the vehicle is not driven for a pro-longed period (longer than 1 month) thehybrid battery charge level should be kept atapprox. 25% according to the gauge in theinstrument panel.
Do as follows:
1. If the hybrid battery charge level is high,drive the vehicle until the charge level is approximately 25%. If the charge level islow, charge the battery until the level rea-ches approximately 25%. 2. If the vehicle is not driven for more than 6
months or the hybrid battery's chargelevel is noticeably below the 25% mark,charge the battery to about 25% to helpcompensate for the natural battery dis-charge that occurs in long-term storage.Regularly check the charge level using thegauge in the instrument display.
NOTE
Store the vehicle in as cool a location as possible to minimize battery aging duringlong-term storage. In the summer, park thevehicle indoors or in a shady location,whichever is cooler.

Starting the vehicle
The vehicle can be started using the start knob in the tunnel console when the remotekey is in the passenger compartment.
Start knob in the tunnel console.
WARNING
Before starting:
Buckle your seat belt.
Adjust the seat, steering wheel and mirrors.
Make sure you can fully depress thebrake pedal.
The remote key is not physically used to startthe ignition because the vehicle is equippedwith the keyless Passive Start system. To start the vehicle:
CAUTION
The vehicle cannot be started if the charg- ing cable is still plugged in. Make sure topull out the charging cable from the charg-ing socket before starting the vehicle.
1. The remote key must be inside the vehicle.
For vehicles with Passive Start, the key must be in the front section of the passen-ger compartment. With the optional key- less locking/unlocking function *, the key
can be anywhere in the vehicle.
2. Press and hold down the brake pedal 1
as
far as possible.
3. Turn the start knob clockwise and release. The control will automatically return to the original position.
WARNING
Never use more than one inlay mat at a time on the driver's floor. If any othertype of floor mat is used, remove theoriginal mat from the driver's seat floorbefore driving. All types of mats mustbe securely anchored in the attach-ment points in the floor. Make sure thefloor mat does not impede the move-ment of the brake pedal or acceleratorpedal in any way, as this could be aserious safety hazard.
Volvo's floor mats are specially manu-factured for your vehicle. They must beproperly secured in the attachmentpoints in the floor to help ensure theycannot slide and become trappedunder the pedals.
The starter motor will crank until the enginestarts or until overheating protection is trig-gered. During normal start conditions, the vehicle's electric motor will be prioritized and the gaso-line engine will remain off. This means thatonce the start knob is turned clockwise, theelectric motor has been "started" and the vehi-cle is ready to be driven. The warning andinformation symbols in the instrument panel
1 If the vehicle is moving, it is only necessary to turn the start knob clockwise to start the engine.
