Charging cable residual current device
The charging cable has a circuit breaker that helps protect against current overloads and thermal overheating.
If the charging cable's residual current device is triggered, the blue indicator light in the charging module will not illuminate when the charging cable is plugged into an electrical outlet (or the red warning light will glow steadily). Have the outlet checked by a licensed electrician or try using another wall outlet.
Warning
Charging the hybrid battery may only be done from approved, grounded 120-/240 V outlets (AC, alternating current). If the electrical circuit or electrical socket's capacity is not known, let a licensed electrician inspect the electrical circuit's capacity. Using a charge level that exceeds the electrical circuit's or electrical outlet's capacity may start a fire or damage the electrical circuit.
Warning
- The charging cable's residual current breaker helps protect the vehicle's charging system but cannot ensure that an current overload will never occur.
- Never use visibly worn or damaged electrical sockets. Doing so could lead to fires or serious injury.
- Never connect the charging cable to an extension cord.
- Maintenance or replacement of the hybrid battery may only be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
