120-volt socket in the tunnel console1
This socket is intended for 120-volt devices such as laptops, chargers, etc.
The max. current provided is 150W.
Using the sockets
Pull up the cover over the socket when it is not in use.
Important
- Do not connect devices with large or heavy plugs that could come loose while driving.
- Do not use devices that can cause interference with the vehicle's radio receiver or electrical system.
Warning
- Be sure to place any devices connected to the socket safely so that they do not become projectiles in the event of a sudden stop and injure the occupants of the vehicle.
- Be aware that connected devices may generate heat and become very hot.
- Only connect devices that function correctly and are free from defects. These devices should be intended for use in a 120-volt, 60Hz socket with a plug intended for the socket in the vehicle and be UL-approved (or the equivalent thereof).
- Never let the device, its plug or the socket itself come in contact with fluids of any kind. Never touch or use the socket if it appears to be damaged or wet.
- Never connect multiple plugs, adapters or extension cords to the socket. This could override the socket's safety functions.
- Never let children play or tamper with the socket, or attempt to insert any objects into it. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle when the socket is active.
- Never try to modify or repair the 120-volt socket. This should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Failure to follow the points above could result in electrical shock and/or serious injury.
Status indication
An LED (Light Emitting Diode) on the socket indicates its status:
| Status indicator light | Socket status | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Steady green light | The socket is providing current to a connected device. | None. |
| Flashing orange light | The socket's voltage converter is too hot (the connected device draws too much current, etc. or the temperature in the passenger compartment is very high). | Unplug the device, let the converter cool down and plug in the device again. |
| The connected device draws too much current (constantly or currently) or is not functioning properly. | None. The device should not be plugged into the socket. | |
| Indicator light off | The socket has not detected a plugged in device. | Be sure the device is correctly plugged into the socket. |
| The socket is not active. | Put the vehicle's ignition in at least mode I. | |
| The socket has been active but has been deactivated. | Start the engine and/or charge the start battery. |
If a problem persists, have the socket checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
12-volt socket in the tunnel console
The electrical sockets can be used for 12-volt devices such as monitors, MP3 players and cell phones. For the sockets to provide electrical current, the ignition must be in at least mode I.
Warning
Important
Max. current provided is 10 A (120 W) if one socket is used at a time. If both of the sockets in the tunnel console are used at the same time, the max. current provided per socket is 7.5 A (90 W)
If a tire sealing system's compressor is being used, no other device should be connected to any of the other sockets while the compressor is operating.
12-volt socket in the trunk
Fold down the cover to access the socket. Max. current provided is 10 A (120 W).
Note
The 12-volt socket in the trunk provides electrical current even when the ignition is switched off. Using the socket while the engine is not running will drain the battery.
