Replacing bulbs
General
All bulb specifications are given on
page 244.
The following list contains bulbs and point-
source lamps that are specialised or unsuita-
ble for changing except at a workshop:
• General interior lighting in the roof.
• Reading lamps
• Glovebox lighting
• Direction indicators in the door mirrors.
• Approach lighting in the door mirrors.
• High-level brake light.
• LEDs in the rear lamp cluster.
Changing front bulbs
All front bulbs (except for fog lamps) are
changed by first removing the lamp housing
from the engine compartment.
NOTE! If you experience difficulty when
replacing a bulb then we recommend that
you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Location of the bulbs in the
headlamp
1
1. Side marker lamp
2. Direction indicator
3. Dipped beam, position lamp
4. Main beam bulb
On certain variants, a white plastic sleeve
may impede bulb replacement. This can be
broken off and discarded.
Never touch the bulbs’ glass with your
fingers. Grease and oils from your fingers
are vaporised by the heat, coating and
damaging the reflector.
On cars with Bi-Xenon headlamps, all
work on the lights should be carried out at
an authorised Volvo workshop.
Bi-Xenon headlamps must be handled
with extreme care due to the high-voltage
unit.
