NOTE
•
For information regarding any bulbs
not mentioned in this section, please
contact your Volvo retailer or a trained
and authorized Volvo service techni-
cian.
•
Always switch off the ignition before
starting to replace a bulb.
•
If an error message remains in the dis-
play after a faulty bulb has been
replaced, contact an authorized Volvo
workshop.
•
Condensation may form temporarily on
the inside of the lenses of exterior
lights such as headlights, fog lights, or
taillights. This is normal and the lights
are designed to withstand moisture.
Normally, condensation will dissipate
after the lights have been on for a
short time.
•
The optional Active Bending Light
bulbs contain trace amounts of mer-
cury. These bulbs should always be
disposed of by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
CAUTION
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.
WARNING
•
The engine should not be running
when changing bulbs.
•
If the engine has been running just
prior to replacing bulbs in the head-
light housing, please keep in mind that
components in the engine compart-
ment will be hot.
WARNING
•
Active Bending Lights* – due to the
high voltage used by these headlights,
these bulbs should only be replaced
by a trained and qualified Volvo serv-
ice technician.
•
Turn off the lights and remove the
remote key from the ignition before
changing any bulbs.
