Replacing bulbs
Introduction
Before replacing bulbs in your vehicle, please keep the following points in mind:
NOTE
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 Bi -Xenon® headlight bulbs contain trace amounts of mercury. These bulbs should always be
disposed of by an authorized Volvo retailer.
Certain bulbs not listed here should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo service technician.
Certain bulbs should only be replaced by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician:
- Courtesy (dome) lighting
- Reading lights
- Glove compartment lights
- Turn signals and courtesy lights in the side door mirrors
