Replacing fuses
If an electrical component fails to function, it is likely that a fuse has blown due to a temporary circuit overload.
Fuses are located in four different places:
1. Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment
2. Fuse box in the passenger compartment, behind the plastic cover
3. Fuse box in the passenger compartment, on the edge of the dashboard
4. Fuse box in the trunk
A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the electrical 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 compartment fuse box. From the side, examine the curved metal
wire 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 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 car's
electrical system.
pg. 115 Fuses in the engine compartment
Relays/fuses in the engine compartment
When replacing fuses, be sure to replace a blown fuse with a new one of the same color and amperage (written on
the fuse). Fuses in positions marked X are replacement fuses.
A - To open, press the plastic catches on the rear side of the fuse box cover and lift.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program the other two transceiver buttons.
If, after several attempts, you are unable to successfully train the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to learn your
hand -held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
pg. 170 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
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 that cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to
"stop" and "reverse" does not meet current 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 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
NOTE - Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand -held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To successfully train
HomeLink®, continue to hold the HomeLink® button. At the same time, repeatedly press and hold your hand -held
transmitter's button at two -second intervals until HomeLink® has learned your transmitter's code. The HomeLink®
indicator light will flash first slowly, and then rapidly to indicate that the button has been successfully programmed.
Determining if your garage door uses a rolling code
Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses a rolling code system and is manufactured after
1996:
Refer to the garage door opener owner's manual for verification.
If your hand -held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but the programmed button
does not activate the garage door, your garage door opener may have a rolling code.
Press the programmed HomeLink® button. If the garage door opener has the rolling code feature, the HomeLink®
indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.
To train a rolling code garage door opener , follow these instructions after programming the desired transceiver
button according to "Programming the transceiver." The help of a second person may make training easier.
1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit . The location and color of the training button
may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call toll-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.
3. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button a
second time to complete the training process.
Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.
The programmed button on your HomeLink® Universal Transceiver should now operate your garage door opener. The
original hand -held transmitter can also be used, as desired, to operate the garage door.
The remaining two HomeLink® buttons can be programmed in the same way. In the event of any problems in
