WARNING
On cars with Bi-Xenon and Active Bi-Xenon
headlamps, Xenon lamp replacement must
be carried out at an authorised Volvo work-
shop. The headlamps must be handled with
extreme care due to the Xenon lamp’s high-
voltage unit.
IMPORTANT
Never touch the glass part of the bulbs with
your fingers. Grease and oils from your fin-
gers are vaporised by the heat, coating the
reflector and then causing damage.
WARNING
Always switch off the ignition and remove
the remote control key before starting to re-
place a bulb.
