Starting charging
Pull out the cable from the charging station's storage socket or take out the charging cable.
Plug the charging cable into the charging station. If the charging station has a permanent charging cable, proceed to step 3.
Important
Do not plug in the charging cable if there is a risk of thunder or lightning.
Press the rear edge of the charger door to open the charging socket2.
Remove the charging handle's protective cover and push the charging handle all the way into the vehicle's socket.
Important
To prevent paintwork damage, e.g. in strong winds, position the protective cover of the charging handle so that it does not touch the vehicle.
The charging cable handle will lock into place and charging will begin within 5 seconds.
When charging starts, the green LED light in the charging socket will begin to flash.
The approximate remaining charging time or the charging status will be displayed in the instrument panel.
During charging, condensation from the air conditioning may form under the vehicle. This is normal and is caused by the hybrid battery cooling.
Warning
- Children should be supervised when in the vicinity of the charging cable when it is plugged in.
- High voltage is present in your electric meter housing and power distribution service panel. Contact with high voltage can cause death or serious personal injury.
- Do not use the charging cable if it is damaged in any way. A damaged or malfunctioning charging cable may only be repaired by a workshop – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
- Always position the charging cable so that it will not be driven over, stepped on, tripped over or otherwise damaged, or cause personal injury.
- Never connect adapters of any kind between the charging cable and the vehicle.
Also, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for using the charging cable and its components.
Important
Do not wash the vehicle while the charging cable is plugged in or the charging door is open.
