and spotlights that are of a special type or that
are only suitable for replacement by a work-
shop are:

WARNING
On cars equipped with Xenon lamps, head-
lamp replacement must be performed at a
workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop
is recommended. The lamp must be han-
dled with extreme caution because it is
equipped with a high voltage unit.
IMPORTANT
Never touch the glass part of the bulbs with
your fingers. Grease and oils from your fin-
gers are vaporised by the heat, coating the
reflector and then causing damage.
Headlamps front

engine compartment. Loosen and remove the
whole headlamp.

Always switch off the ignition and remove
the remote control key before starting to
replace a bulb.

blade on the driver's side is longer than the
blade on the passenger side.

a common reservoir.

that the fluid does not freeze in the pump,
reservoir and hoses.
