01 C30 ELECTRIC Important to know General information about Volvo C30 ELECTRIC A Volvo C30 ELECTRIC has an electric drive system but is driven and handled in much the same way as a car with a conventional internal combustion engine and automatic transmission. However, there are some differences that are not too obvious, which are explained in the following pages.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Important to know therefore requested to contact a Volvo dealer for referral to a certified/approved recycling facility.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Telematics - information about the drive system Information via Internet/mobile phone Parameters • Programmed charging current (6, 8, 10 or 16 A) - see page 17. A Volvo C30 ELECTRIC stores information about e.g. charging time, consumption, load and similar. • Alarm status. • Lock status. • Temperature in the passenger compartment. • Temperature outside the car. The specified values are shown in real time3. Statistics NOTE: The picture is schematic2.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Telematics - information about the drive system Certain statistics for completed journeys are also retrieved: • When the car is used. • When the batteries are charging. • Distance in km for each trip. • Energy consumption in kWh/100 km for When the batteries are fully charged the live transmission of system data is shut down. Following which, the telematics system only sends updated data every 4 hours. each trip. • Average energy consumption in kWh/100 km for each trip.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Combined instrument panel The following instruments differ from those in a fuel-driven car: - Speedometer Shows the speed of the car. WARNING The maximum permitted speed with this car is 130 km/h. If this speed is exceeded, on a steep downhill slope for example, then the driver must reduce speed with the foot brake. - Power meter Shows the electric motor's power output or recharging to the batteries. • Left-hand scale (0-30) shows recharging to the batteries.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Combined instrument panel Symbols - Reduced motor power NOTE The following symbols differ from those in a fuel-driven car: The READY lamp is not illuminated if the charging cable is connected to the car. - Charging cable - Warning for low battery capacity Reminds that the charging cable is connected to the electrical socket.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Driving the car General information on driving with electricity 1. A car with an electrical drive system differs from a fuel-driven car in one essential point - it is totally quiet even when the "engine is running". In other respects it is familiar to the driver. 2. The drive system is monitored and controlled by a computer that assists the driver during most instances by displaying text instructions on the instrument panel's display. Examples of such messages are shown on page 30. 3.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Driving the car Energy saving mode To save battery capacity, the electrical system goes down to low consumption after approx. 10 minutes of inactivity, e.g. during battery charging and after the car is locked. With the remote control key in the 0 position, the electrical system is also set in energy saving mode after approx. 10 minutes of inactivity.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Driving the car IMPORTANT The car must be stationary with the foot brake depressed when changing from N to R or from N to D/H. Gear D/H The first backward movement of the lever activates forward drive with the gear in the D position. The second activates the H position. The third activates the D position again, and so on. • Parking lock On: Turn the remote control Parking brake key to position I1 or 0.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Driving the car If the brake control is released then the emergency braking is interrupted. • Turn the wheels towards the kerb. Releasing the parking brake Applying the parking brake Low battery voltage If the battery voltage is too low, the parking brake cannot be released or applied.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Driving the car • Never drive through deep pools of water - • Use "engine braking" when braking - it water must not reach higher than the lower edge of the rim. • "Engine braking" is more noticeable in D recharges the batteries and extends the potential driving distance. considerably due to increased wind resistance - doubling speed increases wind resistance 4 times.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Batteries Charging the batteries Safety In extreme situations there is the possibility that the batteries may become overheated. If this occurs, a warning signal will be heard and a red warning symbol will be illuminated on the instrument panel, combined with an explanatory display text. Stop the car immediately in a safe manner and leave it as soon as possible. Then contact the hirer or a workshop1.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Batteries electrical socket and then contact the designated workshop for the car - see page 4. Connect the car to the mains circuit 4. Press the ON button (1) on the charging cable's integrated control box - its indicator lamp should then illuminate which verifies that the charging cable is routing mains voltage and that the car's batteries are being recharged. During charging, the status of battery charging is indicated with a blue indicator lamp on the windscreen's alarm LED.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Batteries Control unit The charging cable's control unit has an integrated ground fault breaker. Adjacent to the unit's ON button (1) is an indicator lamp - it can have the following meanings: Lamp Off Information On The charging cable is routing electricity and the car's batteries are being recharged. Off The ground fault breaker has triggered - there may be a fault in the charging cable or in the car's electrical system.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Batteries and tripped, at which point battery charging is stopped. Charging current (A)A Charging time (h)B 6 at least 19 8 15 10 11 16 7 Example 3 If the car is connected to 230 V/10 A and the control program is set at 6 A, the car will only draw 6 A from the 230 V mains circuit - the charging will certainly take longer but then additional consumers can be connected to the same socket at the same time.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Climate General information on the climate control system IMPORTANT The car is supplied with one of the following fuel-driven heating systems: The climate control system works with a hydronic heating system which is powered by electricity or fuel and is operated using the climate control panel's controls. Cooling (AC) is generated by an electrically-driven compressor.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Climate WARNING The heater generates unhealthy emissions during operation with fuel. Program the timer for electric operation when the car is used - or parked - in an enclosed/unventilated area. Timer-set heating/cooling The climate control system can be pre-programmed to heat the passenger compartment - within 24 hours - before setting off. The time that is programmed refers to when the car shall be used. Proceed as follows: 1. Turn the remote control key to key position I. 2.
01 C30 ELECTRIC Climate Heating and/or cooling NOTE Continuous heating/cooling is only possible when the car is connected to mains electricity. The following tables show in which situations it is possible to generate heating or cooling and which settings need to be made.
