Replacing bulbs 09
General
All bulb specifications are given on page 255.
The following list contains bulbs and point-
source lamps that are specialised or unsuita-
ble for changing except at a workshop:
• Active Bi-Xenon and Bi-Xenon lamp
• General interior lighting in the roof
• Reading lamps
• Glovebox lighting
• Direction indicators in the door mirrors
• Approach lighting in the door mirrors
• High-level brake light
• LEDs in the rear lamp cluster.
Changing front bulbs
All front bulbs (except for fog lamps) are
changed by first removing the lamp housing
from the engine compartment.
Location of the bulbs in the headlamp
1. Side marker lamp
2. Direction indicator
3. Dipped beam lamp, position lamp
(halogen and Bi-Xenon)
4. Main beam lamp, position lamp
(Active Bi-Xenon)
On certain variants, a white plastic sleeve
may impede bulb replacement. This can be
broken off and discarded.
WARNING
On cars with Bi-Xenon and Active Bi-Xenon
headlamps the replacement of the Xenon
lamp must be carried out by an authorised
Volvo workshop. The headlamps must be
handled with extreme care due to the high-
voltage unit in the Xenon lamp.
IMPORTANT
Never touch the bulbs’ glass with your fin-
gers. Grease and oils from your fingers are
vaporised by the heat, coating and damag-
ing the reflector.
NOTE
If you experience difficulty when replacing a
bulb then we recommend that you contact
an authorised Volvo workshop.
