Fuses and central electrical units
All electrical functions and components are
protected by a number of fuses in order to
protect the car's electrical system from dam-
age by short circuiting or overloading.
WARNING
Never use a foreign object or a fuse with an
amperage higher than that specified when
replacing a fuse. This could cause signifi-
cant damage to the electrical system and
possibly lead to fire.
WARNING
Orange-coloured cables must only be han-
dled by qualified personnel.
WARNING
Several components in the car work with
high-voltage current that could be danger-
ous in the event of incorrect intervention.
Do not touch anything that is not clearly
described in the owner's manual for the
car.
If an electrical component or function does not
work, it may be because the component's fuse
was temporarily overloaded and failed. If the
same fuse fails repeatedly then there is a fault
in the circuit. Volvo recommends contacting
an authorised Volvo workshop for checking.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Replacing a fuse
All electrical functions and components are
protected by a number of fuses in order to
protect the car's electrical system from dam-
age by short circuiting or overloading.
1. Look in the fuse diagram to locate the
fuse.
2. Pull out the fuse and check from the side
to see whether the curved wire has blown.
3. If this is the case, replace it with a new
fuse of the same colour and amperage.
WARNING
Never use a foreign object or a fuse with an
amperage higher than that specified when
replacing a fuse. This could cause signifi-
cant damage to the electrical system and
possibly lead to fire.
WARNING
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop
about the fuses not mentioned in the
owner's manual. If replacing the fuse is not
performed correctly, it can cause serious
damage to the electrical systems.
