Battery recycling
Start batteries and support batteries contain
lead and must be recycled in an environmentally
sound manner at the end of their service life.
Consult a workshop if you are uncertain of how to
dispose of this type of waste ‒ an authorized
Volvo workshop is recommended.

Fuses and fuseboxes
All electrical functions and components are pro-
tected by a number of fuses in order to protect
the vehicle's electrical system from damage by
short circuiting or overloading.
WARNING
Never use a foreign object or a fuse with a
higher amperage than that specified to
replace a fuse. This could cause significant
damage to the electrical system and possibly
lead to a fire.
If any electrical component or function is not
responding, the component may have blown a
fuse due to temporary overload. If the same fuse
blows repeatedly, there may be a problem with
the component. Volvo recommends contacting an
authorized Volvo workshop to have the compo-
nent checked.
