09 Maintenance and servicingFuses
09206
Replacing fuses
G027179
If an electrical component fails to function, it is
possible that a fuse has blown.
Fuses are located in four different places:
Relays/fuse box in the engine compart-
ment.Fuse box in the passenger compartment,
behind plastic cover.Fuse box in the passenger compartment,
on the edge of the dashboard.Fuse box in the cargo area.
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 (and several extra fuses) in the
passenger compartment fuse box on the driv-
er's end of dashboard. From the side, examine
the curved metal wire (see the illustration
above) 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 a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
WARNING
Never use metal objects or fuses with higher
amperage than those stated on the follow-
ing pages. Doing so could seriously damage
or overload the vehicle's electrical system.

The transmission oil does not normally need
to be changed during the service life of the
vehicle. However, it may be necessary to
replace the oil if the vehicle is often driven
in areas of sustained temperature extremes
(hot or cold), when towing a trailer over long
distances, for prolonged driving in moun-
tainous areas, or if the vehicle is often driven
short distances in temperatures under 40°F
(5°C).
