If the starter battery is discharged then the car
can be started with current from another battery.
Charging point for jump-starting own car.
IMPORTANT
The car’s charging point is only intended for
jump-starting the car itself. The charging
point is not intended for jump-starting
another car. Using the charging point to jump
start another car may cause a fuse to blow,
which means the charging point will stop
working.
When a fuse has blown the message 12 V
Battery Fuse failure Service required is
shown in the driver display. Volvo recommends
that an authorised Volvo workshop is contacted.
When jump-starting the car, the following steps
are recommended to avoid short circuits or other
damage:
1. Set the car's electrical system in ignition
position 0 .
2. Check that the donor battery has a voltage of
12 V.
3. If the donor battery is installed in another car
- switch off the donor car's engine and make
sure that the two cars do not touch each
other.
4. Connect one of the red jump lead's clamps
to the donor battery's positive terminal (1).
IMPORTANT
Connect the start cable carefully to avoid
short circuits with other components in the
engine compartment.
5. Open the positive jump-starting point's cover
(2).
6. Connect the red jump lead's other clamp
onto the car's positive jump-starting point
(2).
7. Connect one of the black jump lead's clamps
to the donor battery's negative terminal (3).
8. Connect the black jump lead's other clamp
onto the car's negative jump-starting point
(4).
9. Check that the jump lead clamps are affixed
securely so that there are no sparks during
the starting attempt.
10. Start the engine of the "donor car" and allow
it to run a few minutes at a speed slightly
higher than idle approx. 1500 rpm.
