MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Support battery
Vehicles with the Start/Stop function are
equipped with two batteries – a more power-
ful 12 V start battery and a support battery
that provides stronger current during the
function's start sequence.
The higher the current consumption in
the vehicle, the more the alternator has
to work and the batteries have to be
charged = increased fuel consumption.
•
•
When the starter battery capacity has
dropped below the lowest permissible
level, the Start/Stop function is disen-
gaged.
When the Start/Stop function is temporarily
reduced due to high current consumption:
If the vehicle is instead equipped with a 48 V support
battery, it is located to the left in the cargo compart-
ment. Only an authorized workshop may handle the
48 V support battery.
The engine will auto-start, even if the
driver does not lift their foot from the
brake pedal.
•
WARNING
The support battery does not normally require
more service than the start battery. If you have
any questions or concerns, consult a work-
shop ‒ an authorized Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.
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.
The 12 V support battery is located in a box next to
the spring strut in the engine compartment.
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.
•
Only a workshop may replace or per-
form service on the 48 V battery – an
authorized Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.

If the following is not observed, the Start/
Stop function may temporarily stop work-
ing after connection of an external starter
battery or battery charger:
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.

The negative battery terminal of the
vehicle's starter battery must never be
used to connect an external starter
battery or battery charger – only the
vehicle's negative charging point
should be used as a grounding point.

If replacing the battery, make sure you
replace it with a battery of the same size,
cold start capacity and type as the original
battery (see the decal on the battery).
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.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Battery symbols
There are warning symbols and information
on the batteries.
Battery recycling
Start batteries and support batteries contain
lead and must be recycled in an environmen-
tally sound manner at the end of their service
life.
Avoid smoking, open
flames, and/or sparks.
Consult a workshop if you are uncertain of
how to dispose of this type of waste ‒ an
authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
Wear protective goggles.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Fuses and fuseboxes
Location of fuseboxes
Replacing fuses
All electrical functions and components are
protected by a number of fuses in order to
protect the vehicle's electrical system from
damage by short circuiting or overloading.
All electrical functions and components are
protected by a number of fuses in order to
protect the vehicle's electrical system from
damage by short circuiting or overloading.
WARNING
1. Refer to the fuse diagram to locate the
fuse.
Never use a foreign object or a fuse with a
higher amperage than that specified to
replace a fuse. This could cause significant
damage to the electrical system and possi-
bly lead to a fire.
2. Pull out the fuse and examine it from the
side to determine if the curved metal wire
in the fuse is intact.
3. If the wire is broken, replace the fuse with
a new fuse of the same color and amper-
age.
If any electrical component or function is not
responding, the component may have blown a
fuse due to temporary overload. If the same
fuse blows repeatedly, there may be a prob-
lem with the component. Volvo recommends
contacting an authorized Volvo workshop to
have the component checked.
The illustration is generic - appearance may vary
according to vehicle model.
