STARTING AND DRIVING
488
Using jump starting with another
battery
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 charg-
ing 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 recom-
mends 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 ter-
minal (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 ter-
minal (3).
8. Connect the black jump lead's other
clamp onto the car's negative jump-star-
ting 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.
