IMPORTANT
When replacing batteries in cars with the
Start/Stop function, the AGM
10
type bat-
teries must be fitted.
NOTE
•
The higher the current take-off in the
car (extra cooling/heating, etc.) the
more the batteries must be charged =
increased fuel consumption.
•
When the capacity of the battery has
fallen below the lowest permissible
level then the Start/Stop function is
disengaged.
Temporarily reduced Start/Stop function due
to high current take-off means:
•
The engine starts automatically 11 without
the driver depressing the clutch pedal
(manual gearbox).
•
The engine starts automatically without
the driver lifting his/her foot off the foot
brake pedal (automatic gearbox).
Location of the batteries
A: Left-hand drive car. B: Right-hand drive car.
(1) Starter battery
12
(2) Support battery.
The support battery normally requires no
more service than the normal battery used for
starting. A workshop should be contacted in
the event of questions or problems - an
authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed
then the Start/Stop function may tempo-
rarily cease to work after the connection of
an external battery or battery charger:
•
The negative battery terminal on the
car's starter battery must never be
used for connecting an external bat-
tery or battery charger - only the
car
chassis may be used as the ground-
ing point.
See Jump starting with battery (p. 257) for
a description of how the cable clamps
must be attached.
