pg. 104 Replacing fuses
Replacing fuses
If an electrical component fails to function, it is likely that a fuse has blown due to a temporary circuit overload.
The fuse boxes are located in the engine compartment (see illustration) and can be opened by pressing the catches and
lifting the cover (Relay/Main fuse box) or by lifting the cover (supplementary fuse box).
A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the electrical components that are connected to each
fuse.
The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it *. Pull the fuse straight out. From the side, examine the curved
metal wire to see if it is broken. If so, put in a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse). Spare
fuses are stored in a compartment in the Supplementary fuse box. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical
system tested at a Volvo retailer. If you find it difficult to remove a fuse, you will find a special fuse tool clipped in the
fuse box.

pg. 108 Replacing wiper blades
Replacing wiper blades
Lift the wiper arm off the windshield and hold the blade at right angles to the arm. Pinch
the end of the plastic clip located at the back of the arm.
Slide the wiper blade along the arm to release it from the hook.
Install the new blade (installation is the reverse of removal) and make sure that it is
properly attached to the wiper arm.
NOTE: For reasons of safety, you should change the windshield wiper blades as soon as
they start to leave marks on the windshield or fail to wipe efficiently and cleanly.
To obtain maximum lifetime from a set of wiper blades, clean them with a stiffbristle brush
and warm, soapy water as part of a normal car wash.
pg. 109 Replacing headlight wiper blades
Replacing headlight wiper blades (certain models)
Pull the wiper blade in the direction indicated by the arrow in the illustration to remove it. Press the new wiper blade
into place. Check that the new blade is properly attached to the wiper arm.
Cleaning the outside of the windshield and wiper blades
If the windshield/tailgate is not clear after using the wiper(s) or if the blade chatters when running, wax or other
material may be on the blade or on the surface of the glass.
Clean the glass with a suitable cleaning agent. The glass is clean if beads do not form when you rinse it with water.
Clean the wiper blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength windshield washer solvent. Then rinse
