NOTE: After the battery has been disconnected or replaced, lock and unlock the vehicle with the central
locking system's remote control to reactivate such features as the power windows, moonroof, courtesy
lighting, etc.
WARNING!
Ventilation hose:
The battery generates hydrogen gas, which is flammable and explosive. The battery is fitted with a
ventilation hose which vents hydrogen gas out of the battery compartment through a ventilation
opening in the bottom of this compartment. If the battery must be replaced, it is essential that the
ventilation hose is properly connected to the battery and that it is routed through the ventilation
opening provided (see illustration).
Be sure the ventilation hose is free of debris.
Only use replacement batteries equipped with a ventilation hose. Consult your Volvo retailer.
pg. 194 Maintenance
Replacing bulbs
When replacing bulbs, keep the following points in mind:
Never touch the glass of bulbs with your fingers. Grease and oils from your fingers vaporize in the
heat and will leave a deposit on the reflector, which will damage it.
The optional Active Bi-Xenon headlight bulbs contain trace amounts of mercury. These bulbs should
always be disposed of by an authorized Volvo retailer.
The following bulbs should only be replaced by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician:
- Active Bi-Xenon headlights,
- Courtesy (dome) lighting,
- Reading lights,
- Glove compartment lights
- Turn signals and courtesy lights in the side door mirrors
- High-mounted brake lights
