Electrical system

The electrical system is single-pole and uses
the chassis and engine casing as a conductor.
The car has a voltage-regulated AC alterna-
tor.
The size, type and performance of the starter
battery depend on the car's equipment and
function.
IMPORTANT
If the starter battery is replaced, make sure
you replace it with a battery with the same
cold starting capacity and type as the orig-
inal battery (see the label on the battery).

10 Maintenance and service

Fuses - general

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
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 this owner's manual.
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 that
you visit an authorised Volvo workshop for
checking.
Changing
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.
