Fuses
Replacing fuses
There are relay/fuse boxes located in the engine compartment and the pas\
senger compartment.
If an electrical component fails to function, this may be due to a blown\
fuse. The easiest way to see if a
fuse is blown is to remove it.
To do so:
1. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult to remove, special\
fuse removal tools are located on the
inside of the fuse box covers.
2. From the side, examine the curved metal wire in the fuse to see if it\
is intact.
3. If the wire is broken, insert a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse).
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 in the following \
tables. Doing so could overload
the vehicle's electrical system.

Electrical system
Three-way catalytic converter - general information
l Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particular\
ly involving the electrical, fuel or
distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high three-way catalyt\
ic converter temperatures. Do not continue to
operate your vehicle if you detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of po\
wer or other unusual operating conditions,
such as engine overheating or backfiring. A properly tuned engine will h\
elp avoid malfunctions that could damage
the three-way catalytic converter.
l Do not park your vehicle over combustible materials, such as grass or le\
aves, which can come into contact with the
hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite under certain wind\
and weather conditions.
l Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), or an intermitte\
ntly firing or flooded engine can cause three-
way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.
l Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the engine, the\
Electronic Control Module, or the
vehicle may be illegal and can cause three-way catalytic converter or ex\
haust system overheating.
This includes:
- Altering fuel injection settings or components.
- Altering emission system components or location or removing components\
.
- Repeated use of leaded fuel.
