battery must be replaced, it is
essential that the ventilation hose is properly connected to the battery\

Replacing fuses
If an electrical component fails to function, it is possible that a fuse\
has blown.
The fuse boxes are located in three different places:
A - Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment
B - Fuse box in the passenger compartment
C - Relays/fuse box in the cargo compartment.
A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the elect\
rical components that are
connected to each fuse.
The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it. Pull the fuse\
straight out. If a fuse is difficult to
remove, you will find a special fuse removal tool in the passenger compa\
rtment fuse box. From the side,
examine the curved metal wire (see next page) to see if it is broken. \
If so, put in a new fuse of the same
color and amperage (written on the fuse). Spare fuses are stored in the fuse box in the \
engine
compartment and the passenger compartment. If fuses burn out repeatedly,\
have the electrical system
inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer.
WARNING!
Never use fuses with higher amperage than those stated on the following \
pages. Doing so could
overload the vehicle's electrical system.

ment questions, contact
HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.HomeLink.com).
4. Using two hands, push and hold both your hand-held transmitter's butt\
on and the transceiver button
you wish to program. The indicator light will flash first slowly, then r\
apidly. Rapid flashing tells you the
HomeLink® button has been successfully programmed. Release both butto\
ns.
5. If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage \
door opener or entry door lock),
refer to "Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the pr\
ogramming process.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program the other two transceiver buttons.
If, after several attempts, you are unable to successfully train the Hom\
eLink® Universal Transceiver to
learn your hand-held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLink® toll-fre\
e 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.
HomeLink.com).

WARNING!
- If you use HomeLink® to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one \
is near the gate or door while it
is in motion.
- Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door\
opener that lacks safety
"stop" and "reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (\
This includes any garage door
opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door opener t\
hat cannot "detect" an
object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does not meet curren\
t federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of \
serious injury or death. For
more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Interne\
t:
www.HomeLink.com).
NOTE: Canadian residents: During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting. To successfully train HomeLink®, continue to hold the H\
omeLink® button. At the same
time, repeatedly press and hold your hand-held transmitter's button at t\
wo-second intervals until
HomeLink® has learned your transmitter's code. The HomeLink® indic\
ator light will flash first slowly,
and then rapidly to indicate that the button has been successfully progr\
ammed.
Determining if your garage door uses a rolling code
Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses a roll\
ing code system and is
manufactured after 1996:
l Refer to the garage door opener owner's manual for verification.
l If your hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Univer\
sal Transceiver but the
