CHARGING THE HYBRID BATTERY

Your Volvo is equipped with an electric motor that primarily powers the
vehicle at low speeds and a gasoline engine that powers the vehicle at
higher speeds as well as during more active driving. The time required
to charge the hybrid battery depends on the charging current available.
This battery is also recharged during light braking or when engine brak­ing is used on a downslope. All types of charging are indicated in the
instrument panel.

Storing the charging cable

The charging cable is stowed under the cargo compartment floor.

Initiating hybrid battery charging

When the hybrid battery is charged, the vehicle's start battery is also
charged at the same time.

1. Connect the charging cable to a 120-/240-volt wall socket. Never
use an extension cord.

2. Open the charger door by pressing it lightly, remove the charging
socket's protective cover and press the charging cable's charge cou­pler as far as possible into the socket.

3. The charging cable's coupler will lock onto the charging socket and
charging will begin within approx. 5 seconds.

Stopping hybrid battery charging

1.

Unlock the vehicle with the remote key by pressing the

button.
Charging will stop and the cable will no longer be locked onto the
charging socket.

2. Press the release button on the charge coupler to release it and dis­connect the coupler from the socket.

3. Disconnect the cable from the 120-/240-volt socket.

4. Stow the cable in its storage compartment.

If the cable is not removed from the socket, it will relock in place after a
short period to help maximize charging and driving range using the

electric motor, and to enable preconditioning of the vehicle before driv­ing. The cable can be released from the socket again by unlocking the
vehicle with the remote key. On models equipped with the optional
Passive Entry system, unlock the vehicle by pulling one of the door han­dles.

Charge status indicators

The hybrid battery's charge status is indicated by: the red and blue
lights in the charging cable's charge module, an LED light in the vehi­cle's charging socket and in the instrument panel.

02

HYBRID BATTERY CHARGE STATUS

The hybrid battery's charge status can be checked in the charging
socket, on the charging cable's charge module, in the instrument panel
and in the Volvo On Call app.

Via the charging socket's indicator light

•

White: courtesy light

•

Yellow: Standby mode (waiting for charging to begin)

•

Flashing green: charging is in progress

•

Steady green: Charging completed (the light will go out after a short
time)

•

Steady red: A fault has occurred

Via the charging cable's charge module

Red warning light

•

When the charge module is initially plugged into a wall socket, the
red warning light will flash once to indicate that a startup safety
check has been performed.

•

When the safety check has been completed, the blue status indicator
will glow steadily and the red warning light will be off.

•

If the red warning light continues to flash or glows steadily, a fault
has been detected and the charger will not deliver current to the
hybrid battery.

Blue status indicator

•

When the charge module is plugged into a wall socket, the blue sta­tus indicator glows steadily to show that the charger is ready to use.

•

When the charge coupler (the plug on the other end of the charging
cable) has been plugged into the vehicle's charging socket, the blue
status indicator will flash once.

•

The blue status indicator will then flash approximately every two sec­onds to indicate that charging is in progress.

•

When the indicator light glows steadily, this indicates that charging
has been completed. This will also be indicated by the charging sym­bol in the instrument panel.

Via the instrument panel

The symbol's color indicates the hybrid battery's charge status.

Blue light: charging is in progress.
Green light: the battery is fully charged.
Red light: a fault has occurred. Check that the charging cable

is properly connected to the 120-/240-volt socket and to the
vehicle's charging socket.

HYBRID-RELATED INFORMATION IN THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL

Various symbols and animations will be displayed in the instrument
panel, depending on the drive mode selected.

Electrical current and gasoline consumption are indicated in a gauge to
the right. Consumption is affected by driving style. When the white indi­cator line passes the white arrow at the top of the gauge, the gasoline
engine will start. When the indicator line is in the orange section of the
gauge, the hybrid battery is being charged (e.g., during light braking).

eDTE (Electronic Distance to Empty)

This indicator shows the approximate distance that can be driven
before the hybrid battery is discharged. This distance is affected
by factors such as driving style, speed and ambient temperature
and may vary during the course of a drive. The normal driving
range is 10-20 miles (16-32 km). The initial value displayed when
the hybrid battery is fully charged shows a maximum possible dis­tance instead of an estimate of the range on electrical power and
changes during your drive. When the gauge displays "----", there
is no guaranteed driving current remaining in the battery.

Symbols in the instrument panel

A solid white symbol indicates the power source that is currently
being used. The "lightning" symbol indicates the electric motor
and the "drop" symbol indicates the gasoline engine.

This symbol indicates that the hybrid battery is currently being
charged (e.g., during engine braking).

This symbol indicates the current charge level in the hybrid bat­tery. Electrical current is also used by the climate system.

These symbols indicate that either the Charge or Hold function is
being used. They are activated from the center display's Function
view. Charge is used to recharge the hybrid battery if its charge
level is low. Hold is used to retain the hybrid battery's charge level
for later use (e.g., when driving in an urban area).

Starting and stopping the gasoline engine

The vehicle calculates when the engine, electric motor or both will need
to be used. When running on the electric motor, the vehicle may some­times need to start the engine automatically due to external factors
such as low ambient temperatures. The engine will always start when
the hybrid battery has reached its lowest charge level.

SUPPLEMENTARY
TEXTS

The owner's manual and other owner-related man­uals contain safety instructions and all warning,
caution and note texts, which must be read. Certain
functions may not be available in all markets or on
all models.

WARNING

GETTING STARTED

•

Volvo On Call only functions in areas where
there is cell phone reception. Just as with a cell
phone, atmospheric disturbances or areas with
few cell phone transmitting masts may make it
difficult or impossible to make a connection. In
addition to the owner’s manual, refer also to your
Volvo On Call service agreement for information
about warnings/cautions/notes.

•

Sensus Navigation: Focus your attention on the
road and concentrate primarily on driving. As the
driver, you are responsible for adhering to road
and traffic regulations and for operating the vehi­cle in a safe manner. Road and weather condi­tions may make some of the routes suggested by
the system less viable.

EXTERIOR OVERVIEW

•

Pay attention to the risk of injury when using the
power tailgate. Before opening/closing: Make
sure that no one is in the path of the tailgate as
an injury could occur and that the tailgate is not
obstructed in any way while it is in motion.

INTERIOR OVERVIEW
Volvo recommends that ALL occupants (adults and
children) shorter than 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) be
seated in the rear seat of any vehicle with a front
passenger side airbag and be properly restrained
according to their height and weight.

Occupant Weight Sensor

•

No objects that add to the total weight on the
seat should be placed on the front passenger's
seat. If a child is seated in the front passenger's
seat with any additional weight, this extra weight

could cause the occupant weight sensor to ena­ble the airbag, which might cause it to deploy in
the event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.

•

The seat belt should never be wrapped around an
object on the front passenger's seat. This could
interfere with the occupant weight sensor's func­tion.

•

The front passenger's seat belt should never be
used in a way that exerts more pressure on the
passenger than normal. This could increase the
pressure exerted on the occupant weight sensor
by a child, and could result in the airbag being
enabled, which might cause it to deploy in the
event of a collision, thereby injuring the child.

•

The full weight of the front seat passenger
should always be on the seat cushion. The pas­senger should never lift him/herself off the seat
cushion using the armrest in the door or the cen­ter console, by pressing the feet on the floor, by
sitting on the edge of the seat cushion, or by
pressing against the backrest in a way that
reduces pressure on the seat cushion. This could
cause the occupant weight sensor to disable the
front, passenger's side airbag.

INTERIOR OVERVIEW
When leaving the vehicle, ensure that the ignition is
in mode 0. Never leave a remote key in the vehicle.

Always apply the parking brake when parking on
hills or uneven surfaces.

CHARGING THE HYBRID BATTERY

•

The charging cable must be grounded when in
use. It is equipped with a cord with a grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances and is not
damaged in any way.

•

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.

•

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 the charging cable to an exten­sion cord or a multiple plug socket.

•

Always unplug the charging cable from the vehi­cle and the wall socket before cleaning it.

•

If the hybrid battery needs to be replaced, this
may only be done by a Volvo retailer or authorized

Volvo workshop.
Also, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for
using the charging cable and its components.

POWER FRONT SEATS
Do not adjust the seat while driving. The seat
should be adjusted so that the brake pedal can be
depressed fully. In addition, position the seat as far
rearward as comfort and control allow.

FOLDING THE REAR SEAT BACKRESTS
When a backrest is returned to the upright position,
check that it is properly locked in place by pushing
and pulling it. Also, if the outboard head restraints
are in the upright position, be sure they are securely
locked in place.

STEERING WHEEL
The driver is always responsible for operating the
vehicle in a safe manner in accordance with current
traffic regulations.

DRIVER SUPPORT
The driver support functions available in your vehi­cle are designed to be supplemental aids to the
driver and all have certain limitations. They can
never replace the driver’s attention and judgement
with respect to traffic, road and/or weather condi­tions or his/her responsibility for operating the vehi­cle in a safe manner in accordance with traffic reg­ulations and speed limits. The driver always has the
primary responsibility for applying the brakes and
steering the vehicle.

Before operating your vehicle, read the detailed
information in your owner's manual about the driver
support functions in your vehicle.

PARKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS

•

Park Assist Pilot does not function in all situa-

tions and is only intended to assist the driver dur-

ing parallel or perpendicular parking. As the
driver, you have full responsibility for parking the
vehicle in a safe manner.

•

Park Assist Camera is designed to be a supple­mentary aid when parking the vehicle. It is not,
however, intended to replace the driver’s atten­tion and judgment. The camera has blind spots
where it cannot detect objects or people behind
the vehicle. Pay particular attention to people or
animals that are close to the vehicle. Objects
seen on the screen may be closer than they
appear to be.

VOICE COMMANDS
The driver is always responsible for operating the
vehicle in a safe manner in accordance with current
traffic regulations.

CAUTION

EXTERIOR OVERVIEW
If the power tailgate* has been opened and closed
continuously too long, the automatic function will be
deactivated to avoid overloading the electrical sys­tem. The automatic function can be used again
after approximately 2 minutes. Foot operation* may
not be possible or function normally if the rear
bumper is obstructed by snow, ice, dirt, etc.

INTERIOR OVERVIEW
OFF ROAD drive mode may not be used if the vehi­cle is towing a trailer without an electrical connec­tion. This could result in damage to the pneumatic
suspension system's bellows.

INTERIOR OVERVIEW
The head-up display's* projection unit is located in
the dashboard. Avoid scratching or placing objects
on the unit's glass surface.

CHARGING THE HYBRID BATTERY

•

Never connect the charging cable if there is a
risk of thunderstorms/lightning.

•

Never unplug the charging cable from a 120-/
240-volt socket while the hybrid battery is being
recharged. This could result in damage to the
socket.

•

Always unlock the vehicle to stop the charging
process before disconnecting the charging cable

07

from the vehicle's charging socket and then
unplugging it from the 120-/240-volt socket.

•

The cable must be disconnected from the
vehicle's charging socket before it is unplug­ged from the 120-/240-volt socket to help
prevent damage to the charging system.

•

To clean the charging cable, wipe it with a clean
cloth dampened with water or a mild detergent
solution suitable for use on automobile paint. Do
not use chemicals or solvents. Do not submerge
the charging cable.

•

Only use the charging cable provided with your
vehicle or a replacement cable purchased from a
Volvo retailer.

FOLDING THE REAR SEAT BACKRESTS
To help avoid damage to the seat upholstery, before
a rear seat backrest is folded down, remove any
objects from the seat and ensure that the seat belts
are not buckled.

The center armrest* must be folded up before the
backrest is folded down.

RIGHT-SIDE STEERING WHEEL LEVER

•

Be sure the wiper blades are not frozen in posi­tion before attempting to move them to the serv­ice position.

•

If the wiper arms have been folded out from the
windshield while in the service position, fold them
back against the windshield before returning the
wipers to the normal position to help avoid
scratching the paint on the hood.

CONNECTIONS

•

Max. current provided is 10 A (120 W) per
socket.

•

The max. current provided by the 120-volt socket
is 150W.

NOTE

EXTERIOR OVERVIEW
Metallic objects or electromagnetic fields may inter­fere with the remote key's function. Avoid placing
the remote key within 4-6 in. (10-15 cm) of a met­allic object, cell phone, tablet, etc.

INTERIOR OVERVIEW

•

The Off Road drive mode is not intended for nor­mal street driving.

•

After a cold start, idle speed may be noticeably
higher than normal for a short period. This is
done to help bring components in the emission
control system to their normal operating tem­perature as quickly as possible, which enables
them to control emissions and help reduce the
vehicle's impact on the environment.

•

If City Safety™ or Forward Collision Warning* is
activated, the information in the head-up display
will be replaced by a graphic relating to the
respective systems. This graphic will illuminate
even if the head-up display is turned off.

•

The driver's ability to see information in the head­up display may be impeded by the use of polariz­ing sunglasses, not sitting in the center of the
driver's seat, objects on the head-up display's
projector glass on the dashboard or certain ambi­ent lighting conditions. Certain types of vision
problems may also result in headaches or eye
strain.

CENTER DISPLAY

•

The microfiber cloth used should be free of sand,
dirt or anything abrasive that might scratch the
screen. Do not use rough cloths, paper towels or
tissues that could scratch the screen. When
cleaning the center display, apply only light pres­sure on the screen. Pressing too hard could
cause damage.

•

Do not spray any liquid or corrosive chemicals
directly on the screen. Do not use window clean­ing liquid, cleaning agents (particularly ones con­taining abrasives), sprays, solvents, alcohol or
ammonia to clean the screen.

STEERING WHEEL
The accuracy of the "distance to empty" or "dis­tance to discharged hybrid battery" figure may vary
if your driving style changes.

PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CLIMATE

•

Seat ventilation* cannot be started if the tem-

perature in the passenger compartment is too

low.

•

Heating or cooling cannot be speeded up by

selecting a higher/lower temperature than the

one actually required.

•

Full preconditioning is only possible when the

vehicle's charging cable is connected. A charging

station that is not always active (e.g., deactivated

by a timer) may interrupt preconditioning. If the

charging cable is not connected, the passenger

compartment can still be cooled for a short

period in warm weather.

•

The vehicle's doors, windows and laminated pan-

oramic roof* should be closed during precondi-

tioning.

USING CONNECTED DEVICES
Please be aware that Volvo has no control over the
content of the Apple CarPlay/Android Auto apps.

PARKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Keep the Park Assist Camera’s lens free of dirt, ice
and snow. This is particularly important in poor
ambient lighting conditions.
