Replacing Bulbs - Volvo 2010 XC90 Owner's Manual

fingers. Grease and oils from your fingers
vaporize in the heat and will leave a deposit
on the reflector, which will damage it.

contain trace amounts of mercury. These
bulbs should always be disposed of by an
authorized Volvo retailer.

a trained and qualified Volvo service techni-
cian:
