pg. 205 Maintenance and servicing
Fuses
Replacing fuses
If an electrical component fails to function, it is possible that a fuse\
has blown.
Fuses are located in four different places:
1. Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment
2. Fuse box in the passenger compartment, behind plastic cover
3. Fuse box in the passenger compartment, on the edge of the dashboard
4. Fuse box in the cargo area
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 (and several extra fu\
ses) in the passenger compartment
fuse box on the driver's end of dashboard. From the side, examine the cu\
rved 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 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.

power or other unusual operating conditions, such as engine overheating \
or backfiring. A properly tuned
engine will help avoid malfunctions that could damage the three-way cata\
lytic 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 u\
nder 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 exhaust system
overheating. This includes:
- Altering fuel injection setting or components.
- Altering emission system components or location or removing components\
.
- Repeated use of leaded fuel.
NOTE: Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with three-way catalytic convert\
ers.
