Important
12 V terminal
In the event of a total loss of power, your car can't be unlocked as the locks are electrically operated. To access your car
and charge it, it can be powered for a short time using the externally accessible 12 V terminal. The terminal can be ac-
cessed by removing a small panel below the front bumper, near the front left wheel.
Before any use of the 12 V terminal, consider the following:
Volvo recommends that the 12 V terminal is only used by service technicians for the purpose of accessing the car as
part of immobilisation recovery.
The external 12 V terminal on your car should only be used to make your car accessible. Do not attempt to charge
another car or similar external source from this point.
Only use a 12 V charger with a maximum charging current below 40 A.
Connecting any power source that delivers currents higher than 40 A blows the terminal's fuse, thereby disabling it.
Only use the 12 V terminal for short amounts of time. This is not meant as a way of powering the car continuously.
Make sure to follow the positive and negative markings on the terminals as reversing the polarity of the low voltage
system can lead to damaging the low voltage system components or blowing the 40 A fuse.
