ELECTRIC MOTOR AND CHARGING

394

General information about electric

vehicles

Recharge vehicles are driven just like any
other vehicle, but certain functions differ from
a vehicle powered exclusively by gasoline.
The electric motor powers the vehicle primar-
ily at low speeds; the gasoline engine is used
at higher speeds or during more active driv-
ing.

The instrument panel displays Recharge-spe-
cific information - charging information,
selected drive mode, distance to discharged
battery and hybrid battery charge level.

Different drive modes can be selected while
driving, e.g. electric power only or, if more
power is needed, a combination of electric and
gasoline power. The vehicle calculates a com-
bination of driveability, driving experience,
environmental impact and fuel economy for
the selected drive mode.

In order to function optimally, the hybrid bat-
tery (and its electrical drive systems) and the
gasoline engine (and its drive systems) must
be at the correct operating temperature. Bat-
tery capacity can be considerably reduced if
the battery is too cold or too hot. Precondi-
tioning prepares the vehicle's drive systems
and passenger compartment before driving to
help reduce both wear and energy consump-
tion. It also helps increase the hybrid battery's
range.

The hybrid battery which powers the electric
motor is recharged using the charging cable. It
can also be recharged during light braking and
through engine braking in gear position 

B

. The

combustion engine can also help recharge the
hybrid battery.

Important

No electrical current

Keep in mind that if there is no electrical cur-
rent to the vehicle, i.e. the ignition is switched
off or the start battery is discharged, certain
functions such as power brakes, power steer-
ing, etc. will be limited.

WARNING

The power brakes only work when the

electric motor or combustion engine is run-

ning.

Towing not permitted

Never tow the vehicle behind another vehicle,
as this could damage the electric motor.

Exterior engine noise

Because there is no sound from the engine
when only the electric motor is running, the
vehicle is equipped with artificial exterior
background noise. This sound is intended to
help warn children, pedestrians, cyclists, ani-
mals, etc. outside the vehicle of the vehicle's
approach.

High-voltage electrical current

WARNING

A number of electrical components in the

vehicle use high-voltage current and can be

extremely dangerous if handled incorrectly.

These components and any orange wiring

in the vehicle may only be handled by

trained and qualified Volvo service techni-

cians.

Charging the hybrid battery

In addition to the conventional fuel tank, your
vehicle is also equipped with a rechargeable
lithium-ion hybrid battery.

WARNING

California Proposition 65

Operating, servicing and maintaining a pas-

senger vehicle can expose you to chemi-

cals including engine exhaust, carbon mon-

oxide, phthalates, and lead, which are

known to the State of California to cause

cancer and birth defects or other reproduc-

tive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid

breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine

except as necessary, service your vehicle in

a well ventilated area and wear gloves or

wash your hands frequently when servicing

your vehicle. For more information go to

The hybrid battery can be recharged using the
charging cable stored in a storage space in the
cargo compartment.

WARNING

The hybrid electrical system in your vehicle

uses high voltage electrical current. Any

damage to this system or to the hybrid bat-

tery may result in the danger of overheat-

ing, fire, or serious injury. If the vehicle is

involved in a collision or subjected to flood-

ing, fire, etc., have it inspected by a trained

and qualified Volvo service technician. Prior

to this inspection, the vehicle should be

parked outdoors at a safe distance from

any building or potentially flammable mate-

rials.

The hybrid battery's charging time depends on
the charging current used.

NOTE

The capacity of the hybrid battery dimin-
ishes somewhat with age and use, which
could result in increased use of the gaso-
line engine and consequently, slightly
higher fuel consumption.

WARNING

If the hybrid battery needs to be replaced,

this may only be done by a Volvo retailer or

authorized Volvo workshop.

The electric motor cannot be used if the bat-
tery's temperature is too low or too high. If the
PURE drive mode is selected, the gasoline
engine will start.

Charging with fixed control module in
accordance with mode 3

1

In certain markets, the control module is
installed within a charging station connected
to an electrical outlet. In this case, the charg-
ing cable does not have its own control mod-
ule. You must therefore use the charging sta-
tion's charging cable and follow the instruc-
tions on the charging station.

Energy recovery during braking

Indicator in the instrument panel during energy

recovery.

Energy is regenerated to the battery when the
brake pedal is depressed lightly or during
engine braking.

The function is available in all drive modes
together with gear selector position

Charging current

Charging current is used to charge the hybrid
battery and precondition the vehicle. Charg-
ing is performed by connecting a charging
cable between the vehicle's charging socket
and a 120/240 V electrical socket (alternat-
ing current).

When the charging cable is activated, a mes-
sage will be displayed in the instrument panel
and an indicator light in the vehicle's charging
socket will illuminate. Charging current is pri-
marily used for battery charging, but is also
used for preconditioning. The vehicle's start
battery is charged along with the hybrid bat-
tery.

CAUTION

Never detach the charging cable from the
120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current)
while charging is in progress – the
120/240 V outlet could be damaged in
such circumstances. Always interrupt
charging first and then disconnect the
charging cable – first from the vehicle's
charging socket and then from the
120/240 V outlet.

CAUTION

Make sure that the fuse to the wall outlet
can handle the current specified for the
charging cable.

NOTE

In extremely cold or hot weather, part
of the charging current is used to heat/
cool the hybrid battery and the passen-
ger compartment, resulting in a longer
charging time.

The charging time is longer if precondi-
tioning has been selected. The time
required depends primarily on the
ambient temperature.

Charging time

Charging time may vary. The following charg-
ing times apply when charging is not affected
by current being drawn from the climate sys-
tem or any other function. If charging seems
to be taking more time than shown in the
