How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    After inserting the charging cable, look at the indicator in the S60's charging port.

  2. 02

    Interpret yellow as connected and waiting, pulsating green as charging and solid green as complete.

  3. 03

    If the indicator is red, read the instrument-panel message and check that both cable ends are fully connected and the source has power.

  4. 04

    Disconnect and reconnect to reinitialize the session; stop and seek service if the red fault returns.

Important limits

  • The port light reports the current session state, not every charging-power or completion-time detail.
  • Do not keep resetting a session that involves a visibly damaged cable, connector or outlet.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If yellow persists, check for a scheduled start or a charging-source delay.
  • ✓For red, reseat the cable and verify the source; contact an authorized Volvo workshop if the fault repeats.
