Battery
Battery maintenance
Driving habits and conditions, climate, the number of starts, etc., all affect the service life and function of the battery.
In order for your battery to perform satisfactorily, keep the following in mind:
Check the fluid level in each cell in the battery every 24 months or every 15,0001 miles (24,000 km), whichever is
sooner. The fluid should be at the level shown in the illustration above (A). Do not overfill.
Use a screw driver to open the caps and a flashlight to inspect the level.
If necessary, add distilled water. The level should never be above the indicator (A).
The fluid level should be checked if the battery has been recharged.
After inspection, be sure the cap over each battery cell is securely in place.
Check that the battery cables are correctly connected and properly tightened.
Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running, or when the key is in the ignition. This could damage the
vehicle's electrical system.
ProCarManuals.com

The battery should be disconnected from the vehicle when a battery charger is used directly on the battery.
WARNING!

Fuses
Replacing fuses
There are relay/fuse boxes located in the engine compartment and the passenger compartment.
If an electrical component fails to function, this may be due to a blown fuse. The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown
is to remove it.
To do so:
Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult to remove, special fuse removal tools are located on the inside of the
fuse box covers.
From the side, examine the curved metal wire in the fuse to see if it is intact.
If the wire is broken, insert a new fuse of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse).
If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
ProCarManuals.com

WARNING!
Never use fuses with higher amperage than those stated in the following tables. Doing so could overload the
vehicle's electrical system.
Fuse box in the engine compartment
The fuse box in the engine compartment has positions for 36 fuses.
Fuses 1-18 are relays/circuit breakers and should only be removed or replaced by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
Fuses 19-36 may be changed at any time when necessary. Several extra fuses and a fuse removal tool to assist in
removing/replacing fuses can be found on the underside of the fuse box cover in the engine compartment.
