Charger status indicators
The red and blue lights in the charging cable's
charge module give an indication of the charge
status.
Charge module: 1. red warning light, 2. blue status indi-
cator
Red warning light
•
When the charge module is initially plugged
into a wall socket, the red warning light will
flash once to indicate that a startup safety
check has been performed. When the safety
check has been completed, the blue status
indicator will glow steadily and the red warn-
ing light will be off.
•
If the red warning light continues to flash or
glows steadily, a fault has been detected and
the charger will not deliver power to the vehi-
cle. Contact a Volvo retailer or a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
Blue status indicator
•
When the charge module is plugged into a
wall socket, the blue status indicator illumi-
nates and glows steadily to show that the
charger is ready to use.
•
When the charge coupler (the plug on the
other end of the charging cable) has been
plugged into the vehicle's charging socket,
the blue status indicator will flash once.
•
The blue status indicator will then flash
approximately every two seconds to indicate
that charging is taking place.
•
When the indicator light glows steadily, this
indicates that charging has been completed.
This will also be indicated by the charging
gauge on the instrument panel.
When charging is completed, press the release
button on the charge coupler and disconnect it
from the vehicle.
Unplug the charge module from the wall socket.

Hybrid battery charging current
Charging current is used to charge the hybrid
battery and to precondition the vehicle. Charging
is done through a cable connected between the
vehicle's charging socket and a
120-/240-volt socket.
When charging is in progress, an indicator light in
the charging socket illuminates to indicate the
charging status. Charging current is primarily
used to recharge the hybrid battery and to pre-
condition the vehicle but is also used to recharge
the vehicle's start battery.
CAUTION
Never disconnect the charging cable from the
120-/240-volt socket while charging is in
progress. This could damage the socket.
Always stop the charging process (by unlock-
ing the vehicle) and disconnect the charging
cable from the vehicle's charging socket
before
disconnecting the other end from the
120-/240-volt socket being used.
