Replacing bulbs
Introduction
Before replacing bulbs in your vehicle, please keep the following points in mind:
NOTE
Never touch the glass of bulbs with your fingers. Grease and oils from your fingers vaporize in the heat and will
leave a deposit on the reflector, which will damage it.
The optional Bi -Xenon® headlight bulbs contain trace amounts of mercury. These bulbs should always be
disposed of by an authorized Volvo retailer.
Certain bulbs not listed here should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo service technician.
Certain bulbs should only be replaced by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician:
- Courtesy (dome) lighting
- Reading lights
- Glove compartment lights
- Turn signals and courtesy lights in the side door mirrors
- High-mounted brake lights
- Bi -Xenon® headlights

224 09 Maintenance and servicing
Fuses
Replacing fuses
There are relay/fuse boxes located in the engine compartment and the passenger 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 a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
WARNING
Never use metal objects or fuses with higher amperage than those stated on the following pages. Doing so could
seriously damage or overload the vehicle's electrical system.
