. If
there is a problem with an LED 13
light, the entire
lamp unit will normally need to be replaced.
WARNING
The vehicle electrical system must be in igni- tion mode 0 when bulbs are replaced.
CAUTION
Never touch the bulb glass with your bare fin- gers. Grease and oils from your fingers vapor-ize in the heat and will leave a deposit on thereflector, which may damage it.
NOTE
If the error message persists after the defec- tive bulb has been replaced, we recommend avisit to an authorized Volvo workshop.
NOTE
Exterior lighting such as headlights and tail- lights may develop temporary condensationon the inside of the lens. This is normal. Allexterior lighting is designed to resist this.Condensation is normally vented out of thelamp housing once the light has been lit forsome period of time.
NOTE
Bulbs for active curve lighting * contain traces
of mercury and should therefore always be submitted to a certified Volvo service techni-cian.

Automatic car washes The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easier toclean because dirt does not attach as strongly. Italso reduces the risk of scratches and keeps thevehicle looking new.
Automatic car washesAn automatic car wash is a fast and easy way to keep your vehicle clean, but it does not reach allareas of the vehicle. For best results, Volvo rec-ommends hand washing your vehicle or supple-menting automatic car washes with a hand wash.

For automatic car washes in which the vehicle is pulled forward on rolling wheels:
1. Before washing the vehicle, make surethat the automatic rain sensor is deacti- vated. If it is not deactivated and inadver-tently starts, the wiper arms could bedamaged.
2. To help prevent damage from the auto- matic car wash machinery, make surethat the door mirrors are folded in, anten-nas retracted or removed, and any auxili-ary lights secured.
3. Drive into the automatic car wash.
4. Turn off the "Automatic Braking when Stationary" function using the switch in the tunnel console.
