STARTING AND DRIVING

3. If the auxiliary battery is in another vehicle,

turn off that vehicle's engine and make

sure that the vehicles are not touching

each other.

10. Start the engine of the assisting vehicle

and let it run for a few minutes at a higher

idling speed than normal, about

1500 rpm.

Jump starting using another

battery

If the start battery is discharged, current from

another battery can be used to start the vehi-

cle.

4. Clamp the red jumper cable onto the auxil-

iary battery's positive (+) terminal (1).

11. Start the engine of the vehicle with the

dead battery.

CAUTION

Connect the jump cable carefully to pre-

vent short circuits with other components

in the engine compartment.

Do not touch the connections between the

cable and the vehicle during the start

attempt. Risk of sparking.

5. Fold back the cover over your vehicle's

positive (+) jump start terminal (2).

12. Remove the jumper cables in the reverse

order ‒ first the black cables and then the

red cables.

6. Clamp the other end of the red jumper

cable to your vehicle's positive (+) jump

start terminal (2).

Make sure that none of the clamps of the

black jumper cables come into contact

with either vehicle's positive (+) jump start

terminals or either of the red jumper

cable's connected clamps.

Jumper cable connecting points. Engine compart-

ment appearance may vary depending on vehicle

model and equipment level.

7. Clamp the black jumper cable onto the

auxiliary battery's negative (-) terminal (3).

To avoid short circuits or other damage, the

following steps are recommended when jump

starting the battery using another battery:

8. Clamp the other end of the black jumper

cable to your vehicle's negative (-) ground

point (4).

1. Put the ignition in mode 0.

9. Make sure the jumper cables are securely

attached to help prevent sparks while

jump starting.

2. Make sure the auxiliary battery (the bat-

tery used to jump start the discharged

battery) has a voltage of 12 volts.

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING

NOTE

High voltage may be dangerous if handled

incorrectly. Do not touch anything on bat-

teries that is not clearly described in this

Owner's Manual.

Batteries generate hydrogen gas,

which is flammable and explosive.

If the starter battery has been discharged

to the extent that the vehicle does not have

normal electrical functions and the engine

must then be jump-started with an external

battery or a battery charger, the Start/Stop

function may remain activated. If the Start/

Stop function shortly thereafter auto-stops

the engine, there is a huge risk that auto-

start of the engine will fail due to insuffi-

cient battery capacity since the battery had

not had time to recharge.

•

Do not connect the jumper cable to

any part of the fuel system or to any

moving parts. Avoid touching hot

manifolds.

Never use a 48 V support battery to

jump start the vehicle.

•

External electrical equipment may not

under any circumstance be connected

to the 48 V battery.

•

Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do

not allow battery fluid to contact eyes,

skin, fabrics or painted surfaces.

•

Only a workshop may replace or per-

form service on the 48 V battery – an

authorized Volvo workshop is recom-

mended.

•

If contact occurs, flush the affected

area immediately with water. Obtain

medical help immediately if eyes are

affected.

If the vehicle has been jump-started or if

there has not been enough time for the

battery to be charged with a battery

charger, the Start/Stop function should be

temporarily deactivated until the battery

has been recharged by the vehicle. At an

ambient temperature of about +15°C

(about 60°F), the battery must be charged

by the vehicle for at least one hour. At

lower ambient temperatures, the charging

time can increase to 3-4 hours. It is advisa-

ble to charge the battery with an external

battery charger.

Never expose the battery to open flame

or electric spark. Do not smoke near

the battery. Failure to follow the

instructions for jump starting can lead

to injury.

WARNING

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING! Battery

posts, terminals, and related accessories

contain lead and lead compounds, chemi-

cals known to the state of California to

cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash

hands after handling.
