General
All bulb specifications are given on page 280.
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, courtesy lighting and glo-
vebox lighting
Direction indicators, door mirror and
approach lighting
Brake light
Active Bending Lights (ABL)
WARNING
On cars equipped with Xenon lamps, head-
lamp replacement must be performed at a
workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop
is recommended. The lamp must be han-
dled with extreme caution because it is
equipped with a 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.
