which vents hydrogen gas out of the
battery compartment through a ventilation
opening in the bottom of this compartment.
If the battery must be
replaced, it is essential that the ventilation
hose is properly connected to the
battery and that it is routed through the
ventilation opening provided (see illustration).
• Be sure the ventilation hose is free of
debris.
• Only use replacement batteries equipped
with a ventilation hose. Consult a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
