Replacing bulbs

09
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
NOTE
For information regarding any other bulbs
not mentioned in this section, please con-
tact your Volvo retailer or a trained and
authorized Volvo service technician.
