Warning
- Charging the hybrid battery must only take place from approved grounded 230 VAC sockets.
- The control unit's ground fault breaker protects the car, but there may still be a risk of overloading the 230 VAC mains power circuit.
- Avoid visible worn or damaged mains sockets since they may lead to fire damage and/or personal injury if used.
- Never use an extension cable.
Warning
The hybrid battery must only be replaced by a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
Before charging
Important
- The control unit should not be flooded or immersed in water.
- Avoid exposing the control unit and its plug to direct sunlight. In such cases, the overheating protection in the plug is at risk of reducing or interrupting the charging of the hybrid battery.
Important
- Check that the 230 VAC socket has adequate power supply for charging electric vehicles - in the event of uncertainty the socket must be checked by a qualified professional.
- If the socket has unknown current intensity - use the lowest level on the control unit.
On the charging cable's control unit select the required charging current 6-16 A1. On delivery, the lowest possible charging current is preset.
