Replacing bulbs
When replacing bulbs, keep the following points in mind:
●
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 Active Bi-Xenon headlight bulbs contain trace amounts of mercury. These bulbs should
always be disposed of by an authorized Volvo retailer.
●
The following bulbs should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo service technician:
- Active Bi-Xenon headlights,
- Courtesy (dome) lighting,
- Reading lights,
- Glove compartment lights
- Turn signals and courtesy lights in the side door mirrors
- High-mounted brake lights
- Diodes in the rear tail lights
Replacing bulbs at the front of the vehicle
All front bulbs (except the optional front fog lights) are replaced from the engine compartment.
WARNING!
Active Bi-Xenon headlights (option) - due to the high voltage used by these headlights, these bulbs
should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo service technician.
