Fuses
The fuses help protect the vehicle's electrical
components from overloading or short circuits.
WARNING
Never use metal objects or fuses with higher
amperage than those stated on the lists of
fuses. Doing so could seriously damage or
overload the vehicle's electrical system.
Orange wires may only be handled by trained
and authorized Volvo service technicians or
licensed electricians.
A number of component in the vehicle used
high voltage electrical current and can be very
dangerous to touch.
Do not touch any components that are not
clearly described in this owner's information.
If an electrical component fails to function, this
may be due to a blown fuse. If the same fuse
blows repeatedly, this indicates a problem with
the component, which should be inspected by a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

Replacing fuses
The fuses help protect the vehicle's electrical
components from overloading or short circuits.
Fuse replacement
1. See the list of fuse boxes for their locations.
2. Pull the fuse straight out and examine it from
the side to see if the curved metal wire in the
fuse is intact.
3. If the wire is broken, insert a new fuse of the
same color and amperage (written on the
fuse).

Never use metal objects or fuses with higher
amperage than those stated on the following
