If a fuse blows, 12 V Battery Fuse failure
Service required will be displayed in the instru-
ment panel. Contact a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
Use the following steps when jump starting your
vehicle to help prevent short circuits or other
damage.
1.
Switch the ignition off completely (mode 0).
2. Ensure that the auxiliary battery to be used is
12-volt.
3. If the 12-volt auxiliary battery to be used is in
another vehicle, switch off that vehicle's igni-
tion and be sure that the vehicles are not
touching each other.
4. Connect one of the red jumper cable's
clamps to the auxiliary battery's positive (+)
terminal (1).
CAUTION
Connect the jumper cables carefully to avoid
short circuits with other components in the
engine compartment.
5. Open the cover over the positive (+) jump
start terminal (2).
6. Connect the red jumper cable's other clamp
to your vehicle's positive (+) jump start termi-
nal (2).
7. Connect one of the black jumper cable's
clamps to the auxiliary battery's negative (–)
terminal (3).
8. Connect the black jumper cable's other
clamp to your vehicle's negative (–) jump
start terminal (4).
9. Check that the jumper cables are securely
attached to help avoid sparks when the vehi-
cle is started.
10. Start the engine in the assisting vehicle and
run it for a short time at approx. 1,500 rpm.
11. Start the engine in your vehicle. If the vehicle
does not start, allow an additional
10 minutes of charging time and then try to
start the engine again.
NOTE
During normal starts, the electric motor is pri-
oritized and the gasoline engine will not start.
This means that when the start knob has
been turned clockwise as far as possible and
released, the electric motor is activated
("started") and the vehicle is ready to be
driven. The warning and information symbols
in the instrument panel will go out and the
chosen theme will be displayed to indicate
that the electric motor has been activated.
CAUTION
Do not touch the jumper cable connections
while the vehicle is being started. This could
generate sparks.
12. After the vehicle has started, carefully
remove the jumper cables in reverse order,
beginning with the black one.
Ensure that the black jumper cable's clamps
do not come in contact with the vehicle's or
the auxiliary battery's positive terminals or
the red jumper cable's clamps while it is con-
nected.
