Replacing bulbs

09
General
All bulb specifications are given on page 276.
The following list contains bulbs and point-
source lamps that are specialised or unsuitable
for changing except at a workshop:
•
General interior lighting in the roof
•
Reading lamps and glovebox lighting
•
Direction indicators, door mirror and
approach lighting
•
High-level brake light
•
Dual Xenon headlamps
WARNING
On cars with Dual Xenon headlamps, Dual
Xenon lamp replacement must be carried
out at a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended. The headlamps
must be handled with extreme caution due
to the Dual Xenon lamp's high-voltage unit.
IMPORTANT
Never touch the glass part of the bulbs with
your fingers. Grease and oil from your fin-
gers are vaporised by the heat, coating the
reflector and then causing damage.

Changing front bulbs
All front bulbs (except for fog lamps) are
changed by first removing the lamp housing
from the engine compartment.
Removing the lamp housing
1. Remove the remote control key and turn
the light switch to position 0.
2. Withdraw the lamp housing's locking pin.
IMPORTANT
Do not pull the electrical cable, only the con-
nector.
3. Pull the lamp housing to the side and then
forward.
4. Unplug the connector by pressing down
the clip with a thumb while moving out the
connector with the other hand.
5. Lift out the lamp housing and place it on a
soft surface to avoid scratching the lens.
Fitting the lamp housing
1. Plug in the connector and refit the lamp
housing and locking pin. Check that the pin
is correctly inserted.
2. Check the lighting.
The lamp housing must be plugged in and
secured in place before the lighting is switched
