Stop charging of hybrid battery

Finish charging by unlocking the car, unplug-
ging the charging cable from the car's charg-
ing input socket and then from the 230 V
socket

(alternating current).

IMPORTANT

Before the charging cable is disconnected
from the car's charging input socket, the
car must be unlocked using the unlock but-
ton on the remote control key. This must
be carried out even if the doors on the car
are already unlocked. If the car is not
unlocked using the unlock button, this may
lead to damage to the charging cable or to
the system.

Opening and closing the hatch for the
charging input socket (p. 405)

Always unlock the car so that charging is
stopped before the connection to the
230 V socket (alternating current) is
unplugged. Note that the charging cable
must be unplugged from the car's charging
input socket before being unplugged from
the 230 V socket, partly to avoid damage
to the system and partly to avoid stopping
the charging unintentionally.

Unlock the car with the remote control key
- charging is finished and the charging
cable's locked handle releases/is
unlocked.

Unplug the cable from the car's charging
input socket and close the hatch.

Unplug the cable from the 230 V socket.

Return the charging cable to the storage
compartment under the cargo area floor.

The charging cable is locked
automatically

If the charging cable is not unplugged from
the charging input socket, it is locked in again
automatically shortly after unlocking in order
to maximise charging and range, as well as to
facilitate preconditioning prior to the journey.
The charging cable can be unplugged again if
the car is unlocked using the remote control
key. For cars with Passive Entry

, you can lock

and unlock using the handle again.

Long-term storage of vehicles with

hybrid batteries

To minimise hybrid battery degradation dur-
ing prolonged storage (longer than 1 month)
of the vehicle a charge level of approximately
25% is recommended as indicated on the
driver display.

Proceed as follows:

1. If the state of charge is high – run the car

until approx. 25% remains. If the state of
charge is low – charge the battery until a
level of approx. 25% is reached.

2. If storage has lasted longer than 6 months

or the hybrid battery charge level is signifi-
cantly lower than 25% – charge the bat-
tery to approx. 25% again to compensate
for the natural self-discharge that occurred
during the prolonged storage. Continu-
ously check the charge level in the driver
display.

Start charging the hybrid battery (p. 405)

Choose the coolest location possible for
the vehicle in order to minimise aging of
the battery during long-term storage. Dur-
ing summer the vehicle should preferably
remain indoors or outdoors in the shade,
depending on where the temperature is
lowest.

STARTING AND DRIVING

* Option/accessory.

420

Starting the car

The car is started using the start button
beside the steering wheel when the remote
control key is in the passenger compartment.

Start button location.

WARNING

Before starting:

•

Fasten the seatbelt.

•

Adjust the seat, steering wheel and
mirrors.

•

Make sure that the brake pedal can be
fully depressed.

The remote control key is not physically used
when starting the car since it is equipped with
support for keyless starting (Passive start).

To start the car:

IMPORTANT

The car cannot be started if the charging
cable is still engaged. Make sure the
charging cable is removed from the charg-
ing input socket before the starting the car.

1. The remote control key must be inside the

car. For cars with Passive Start, the key
needs to be located in the front part of the
passenger compartment. With the option
for keyless locking/unlocking

of the car,

the key can be anywhere in the car.

2. Hold the brake pedal depressed

fully. For

cars with automatic gear changing, make
sure that gear position

is selected.

For cars with a manual gearbox, make
sure that the gear lever is in neutral posi-
tion or that the clutch pedal is depressed.

3. Press the start button.

When the engine is started, the starter motor
works until the engine is started or until its
overheating protection triggers.

When starting in normal conditions, the car's
electric drive motor is prioritised - the petrol
engine remains switched off. This means that
after the start button has been pressed, the

electric motor has "started" and the car is
ready to move. A started car is indicated by
the driver display's indicator lamps extinguish-
ing and its preset theme illuminating.

However there are situations where the petrol
engine is started instead e.g. in the event of
the temperature being too low or if the hybrid
battery needs charging.

Error messages

If the

Car key not found

message is shown in

the driver display when starting, place the
remote control key by the backup reader. Then
try to start the car again.

Backup reader's location.

If the car is moving, the engine can be started simply by pressing the button.

421

When the remote control key is positioned
by the backup reader, make sure that there
are no car keys, metal objects or electronic
apparatus by the backup reader, (e.g.
mobile phones, tablets, laptops or charg-
ers). Several car keys close to one another
by the backup reader may cause interfer-
ence with each other.

If the message

Car start

System check, wait

is shown in the driver display when starting,
wait until the message disappears and then
try to start the car again.

IMPORTANT

If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts -
wait for 3 minutes before making a further
attempt. Starting capacity increases if the
battery is allowed to recover.

The car cannot be started if the hybrid bat-
tery is discharged.

WARNING

Never

remove the remote control key from

the car while driving.

WARNING

Always take the remote control key out

from the car when leaving the car and

make sure the car's electrical system is in

ignition position

- especially if there are

children in the car.

Switching off the car (p. 421)

The idling speed can be noticeably higher
than normal for certain engine types during
cold starting. This is done in order that the
emissions system can reach normal oper-
ating temperature as quickly as possible,
which minimises exhaust emissions and
protects the environment.

Alcohol lock

The function of the alcohol lock is to prevent
the car from being driven by individuals under
the influence of alcohol. Before the engine
can be started the driver must take a breath
test that verifies that he/she is not under the
influence of alcohol. Alcohol lock calibration
takes place in accordance with each market's
limit value in force for driving legally.

The car has an interface for the electrical con-
nection of the different makes and models of
alcohol lock recommended by Volvo. The
interface facilitates alcohol lock connection,
and gives the option of an integrated function
including messages related to the alcohol lock
in the car's main display. For information
about a specific alcohol lock, please refer to
the owner's manual from the respective alco-
hol lock manufacturer.

WARNING

The alcohol lock is an aid and does not

exempt the driver from responsibility. It is

always the responsibility of the driver to be

sober and to drive the car safely.
