NOTE
•The higher the current take-off in the
car, the more the alternator must be
working and the batteries charging =
Increased fuel consumption.
•When the capacity of the starter bat-
tery has fallen below the lowest per-
missible level then the Start/Stop func-
tion is disengaged.
Temporarily reduced Start/Stop function due
to high current take-off means:
•The engine starts automatically16 without
the driver depressing the clutch pedal
(manual gearbox).
•The engine starts automatically without
the driver lifting his/her foot off the foot
brake pedal (automatic gearbox).
Location of the batteries
(1) Starter battery17 (2) Support battery
The support battery normally requires no
more service than the normal starter battery.
A workshop should be contacted in the event
of questions or problems - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed
then the Start/Stop function may tempo-
rarily cease to work after the connection of
an external battery or battery charger:
•The negative battery terminal on the
car's starter battery must never be
used for connecting an external bat-
tery or battery charger - only the car
chassis may be used as the ground-
ing point.
See Jump starting (p. 267) for a descrip-
tion of how the cable clamps must be
attached.
16 Automatic starting can only take place if the gear lever is in neutral position.
17 See Starter battery - general (p. 370) for a detailed description of the starter battery.
