at the battery is weak and should be
replaced.
To replace the battery
l Remove the cover by carefully prying up its rear edge with a small screw\

doors must not be locked

Replacing the battery

l Unscrew the cover over the battery. Wait at least 10 minutes after switching off the ignition before
disconnecting the battery so that all information in the car's electrica\
l system can be stored in the control
modules.
l Disconnect the negative (ground) cable first.
l Disconnect the positive cable and pull the ventilation hose* from the ba\
ttery.
l Lift out the old battery and put a new battery into place.
l Connect the positive cable first.
l Connect the negative (ground) cable.
l Be sure that the ventilation hose* is securely connected to the battery \
and that the other end of the
hose is properly routed through the ventilation opening in the floor of \
the battery compartment.
l Reinstall the cover and screw it securely in place.
WARNING!
l Never expose the battery to open flame or electric spark.
l Do not smoke near the battery.
l Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not allow battery fluid to cont\
act eyes, skin, fabrics or
painted surfaces. If contact occurs, flush the affected area immediately\
with water. Obtain medical

NOTE: After the battery has been disconnected or replaced, lock and unlock th\
e car with the central
locking system's remote control to reactivate such features as the power\
windows, moonroof, courtesy

* Ventilation hose: The battery generates hydrogen gas, which is flammab\
le and explosive. The
battery is fitted with a ventilation hose which vents hydrogen gas out o\
f the battery
compartment through a ventilation opening in the bottom of this compartm\
ent. 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 ill\
ustration).
Be sure the ventilation hose is free of debris.
Only use replacement batteries equipped with a ventilation hose. Consult\
your Volvo retailer.
