Electrical sockets
Using electrical sockets
There is one 12 V electrical socket in the tun-
nel console and one 12 V electrical socket* in

12 V sockets can be used for various acces-

electrical system must be set in the lowest
ignition position I. The sockets are then active
as long as the starter battery level does not
become too low.
If a problem occurs with an electrical socket,
contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended.

If the engine is switched off and the car is
locked, the sockets are deactivated. If the
engine is switched off and the car is not
