Fuses And Central Electrical Units; Replacing A Fuse - Volvo XC60 TWIN ENGINE 2018 Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Fuses and central electrical units

All electrical functions and components are pro-
tected by a number of fuses in order to protect
the car's electrical system from damage 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 significant
damage to the electrical system and possibly
lead to fire.
WARNING
Orange-coloured cables must only be handled
by qualified personnel.
WARNING
Several components in the car work with
high-voltage current that could be dangerous
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.

Replacing a fuse

All electrical functions and components are pro-
tected by a number of fuses in order to protect
the car's electrical system from damage 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 significant
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 man-
ual. If this is not performed correctly, it can
cause serious damage to the electrical sys-
tems.
