Servicing and replacement
The 12 V battery is maintenance-free.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if the 12 V battery needs to be replaced.
Important
12 V terminal
In the event of a total loss of power, the car can't be unlocked as the locks are electrically operated. To access the car and charge it, the car can be powered for a short time using the externally accessible 12 V terminal. It is accessed by removing a small panel by the front-left wheel housing.
- Volvo recommends that the 12 V terminal is only used by service technicians for the purpose of accessing the car as part of immobilisation recovery.
- Only use a 12 V charger with a maximum charging current below 30 A.
- Do not connect another 12 V battery to the terminal.
- Connecting any power source that delivers currents higher than 30 A blows the terminal's fuse, thereby disabling it.
- Only use the 12 V terminal for short amounts of time. This is not meant as a way of powering the car continuously.
