The red and blue lights in the charging mod- ule indicate the status of ongoing and com-pleted charging.
Charge module: 1. Red warning light, 2. Blue status indicator
When the charge module is initially plugged into a wall outlet, the red warning light willflash once to indicate that a startup safetycheck has been performed. When the safetycheck has been completed, the blue statusindicator will glow steadily and the red warn-ing light will be off. The charger is now readyto be used. If the red warning light continuesto flash or glows steadily, a fault has beendetected and the charger will not deliverpower to the vehicle. Contact a Volvo retaileror a certified Volvo service technician. When the charging cable is connected to thevehicle's charging socket, the blue light willflash once.

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.
Unplug the cable from the 120/240 V out- let. Stow the charging cable in the storage compartment under the cargo area floor.
Charging cable automatically locksIf the charging cable cannot be removed fromthe charging socket, it will automatically lockinto place again after unlocking to maximizecharging and range and to enable precondi-tioning before driving. The charging cable canbe removed again if the vehicle is unlockedusing the remote key. For vehicles with Passive Entry *, the handle can be used to lock
and unlock.

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.
