Volvo XC90: Loading, storage and passenger compartment / Using the electrical outlets
The 12 V outlet can be used for devices intended for this such as MP3 players,
coolers and cellular phones.
The ignition must be in at least mode I for the outlets to supply current.
The outlets will then be active as long as there is sufficient charge in the start
battery.
If the engine is turned off and the vehicle is locked, the outlets will be deactivated.
If the engine is turned off and the vehicle remains unlocked, the sockets will remain
active for up to 7 minutes.
NOTE
Bear in mind that using the electrical outlets when the engine is off could
cause the starter battery to have too low of a charge level, which could limit other
functionality.
Accessories connected to the electrical outlets can be activated even when
the vehicle electrical system is off or if preconditioning is used. For this reason,
disconnect plugs when they are not in use to prevent the starter battery from becoming
discharged.
WARNING
- Do not use accessories with large or heavy plugs – they could damage
the outlet or come loose while you are driving.
- Do not use accessories that could cause disruptions to e.g. the vehicle's
radio receiver or electrical system.
- Position the accessory so that there is no risk of it injuring the
driver or passengers in the event of heavy braking or a collision.
- Pay attention to connected accessories as they can generate heat that
could burn passengers or the interior.
Using 12 V outlets
- Remove the stopper (tunnel console) or fold down the cover (trunk/cargo
compartment) over the socket and plug in the device.
- Unplug the device and put the stopper back in (tunnel console) or fold up
the cover (trunk/cargo compartment) when the socket is not in use or left unattended.
CAUTION
The maximum power is 120 W (10 A) per outlet.
There is a 12 V electrical outlet in the tunnel console and a 12 V electrical
outlet* in the trunk/cargo compartment.
