Servicing and replacement
The 12 V battery is maintenance-free.
Contact an authorized Volvo workshop if the 12 V battery needs to be replaced.
Important
12 V terminal
In the event of a total loss of power, your vehicle can't be unlocked as the locks are electrically operated. To access your vehicle and charge it, it can be powered for a short time using the externally accessible 12 V terminal. The terminal can be accessed by removing a small panel below the front bumper, near the front left wheel.
- Volvo recommends that the 12 V terminal only be used by service technicians for the purpose of accessing the vehicle as part of immobilization recovery.
- The external 12 V terminal on your vehicle should only be used to make your vehicle accessible. Do not attempt to charge another vehicle or similar external source from this point.
- Only use a 12 V charger with a maximum charging current of less than 40 A.
- Connecting any power source that delivers current higher than 40 A will blow 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 vehicle continuously.
- Make sure to follow the positive and negative markings on the terminals – reversing the polarity of the low-voltage system could lead to damaging the low-voltage system components or blowing the 40 A fuse.
