Preparations for charging the hybrid
battery
Several preparatory steps should be taken
before starting to charge the hybrid battery.
WARNING
•
The charging cable must be grounded
when in use. It is equipped with a cord
with a grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be
inserted into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances and is not damaged in any way
•
Children should be supervised when in
the vicinity of the charging cable when it
is plugged in
•
High voltage is present in your electric
meter housing and power distribution
service panel. Contact with high voltage
can cause death or serious personal
injury
•
Do not use the charging cable if it is
damaged in any way
•
Always position the charging cable so
that it will not be driven over, stepped on,
tripped over or otherwise damaged, or
cause personal injury
•
Disconnect the charger from the wall out-
let before cleaning it
•
Never connect the charging cable to an
extension cord or a multiple plug socket
•
If the hybrid battery needs to be replaced,
this may only be done by Volvo retailer or
authorized Volvo workshop
Also, refer to the manufacturer's instructions
for using the charging cable and its compo-
nents.
Prior to charging
The charging cable and any of its components
should not be wet or submerged in any liquid.
The charge module or its plug should not be
exposed to direct sunlight. This could cause the
unit's overheating protector to reduce or stop the
hybrid battery charging process.
Be sure the 120-/240-volt socket used has ade-
quate current for charging electrically powered
vehicles. Have the socket checked by an licensed
electrician if you are uncertain.
