Charging the hybrid battery -
preparations
Before recharging the car's hybrid battery can
be started (p. 306) a number of preparations
need to be made.
WARNING
•
Charging the hybrid battery must only
take place from approved grounded 230
VAC sockets.
•
The control unit's ground fault breaker
protects the car, but there may still be a
risk of overloading the 230 VAC mains
power circuit.
•
Avoid visible worn or damaged mains
sockets since they may lead to fire dam-
age and/or personal injury if used.
•
Never use an extension cable.
WARNING
The hybrid battery must only be replaced by a
workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is
recommended.
Before charging
•
The control unit should not be flooded or
immersed in water.
•
Avoid exposing the control unit and its
plug to direct sunlight. In such cases, the
overheating protection in the plug is at
risk of reducing or interrupting the charg-
ing of the hybrid battery.
•
Check that the 230 VAC socket has ade-
quate power supply for charging electric
vehicles - in the event of uncertainty the
socket must be checked by a qualified
professional.
•
If the socket has unknown current inten-
sity - use the lowest level on the control
unit.
On the charging cable's control unit (p. 301)
select the required charging current (p. 298)
6-16 A
13
. On delivery, the lowest possible charg-
ing current is preset.
Opening/closing the cover for the
charging input socket
Press in the rear section of the cover and
release.
Open the cover.
Pull away the cover for the charging input
socket and secure it in the holder inside the
cover. Make sure that the cover's rubber
straps are bent downwards in order to pre-
vent the cover coming off from the holder.
Close the cover for the charging input socket in
reverse order.
