MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
586
Support battery Vehicles with the Start/Stop function are equipped with two batteries – a more power-ful 12 V start battery and a support batterythat provides stronger current during thefunction's start sequence.
The 12 V support battery is located in the engine compartment.
If the vehicle is instead equipped with a 48 V support battery, it is located under the cargo compartment.The box over the 48 V support battery may only beremoved by an authorized workshop.
WARNING
High voltage may be dangerous if handled incorrectly. Do not touch anything on bat-teries that is not clearly described in thisOwner's Manual. Never use a 48 V support battery to jump start the vehicle.
External electrical equipment may notunder any circumstance be connectedto the 48 V battery.
Only a workshop may replace or per-form service on the 48 V battery – anauthorized Volvo workshop is recom-mended.
NOTE
The higher the current consumption in the vehicle, the more the alternator hasto work and the batteries have to becharged = increased fuel consumption.
When the starter battery capacity hasdropped below the lowest permissiblelevel, the Start/Stop function is disen-gaged.
When the Start/Stop function is temporarily reduced due to high current consumption: The engine will auto-start, even if the driver does not lift their foot from thebrake pedal.
The support battery does not normally requiremore service than the start battery. If you haveany questions or concerns, consult a work-shop ‒
an authorized Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.
