Battery - Start/Stop
Cars with the Start/Stop function are equip-
ped with two 12 V batteries - one extra pow-
erful battery for starting and one support bat-
tery that helps during the Start/Stop func-
tion's starting sequence.
For more information on Start/Stop - see
Start/Stop* (p. 274).
For more information on the car's battery -
see Jump starting with battery (p. 265) and
Starter battery - specification (p. 406).

IMPORTANT
When replacing batteries in cars with the
Start/Stop function, the AGM
12
type bat-
teries must be fitted.
NOTE
•
The higher the current take-off in the
car (extra cooling/heating, etc.) the
more the batteries must be charged =
increased fuel consumption.
•
When the capacity of the battery has
fallen below the lowest permissible
level then the Start/Stop function is
disengaged.
Temporarily reduced Start/Stop function due
to high current take-off means:
•
The engine starts automatically
13
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).

The support battery normally requires no
more service than the normal battery used for
starting. A workshop should be contacted in
the event of questions or problems - an
authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
