ched to the fuse box cover,
marked with a "+" sign. Remove the cover on the main fuse box if necessa\
ry to access this terminal. See
page 113.
l Then connect the auxiliary battery negative (-) terminal (3) to the \
ground point in your car's engine
compartment (4).
Start the engine in the assisting car, then start the engine in the car \
with the dead battery.
l After the engine has started, first remove the negative (-) terminal j\
umper cable. Then remove the
positive (+) terminal jumper cable.
CAUTION:
Improper hookup of jumper cables or use of other than 12-volt batteries \
could result in damage to
equipment and/or the battery.
WARNING!
l Do not connect the jumper cable to any part of the fuel system or to any\
moving parts. Avoid
touching hot manifolds.
l Never expose the battery to open flame or electric spark.
l Do not smoke near the battery.
l Batteries generate hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive.
l Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not allow battery fluid to cont\

pg. 116 Fuses

Replacing fuses
If an electrical component fails to function, it is possible that a fuse\
has blown due to a temporary circuit
overload.
Fuses are located in different places:
A - Relays/fuse box in the engine compartment
B - Fuse box in the passenger compartment
C - Relays/fuse box in the cargo area
A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the elect\
rical 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. If a fuse is difficult to
remove, you will find a special fuse removal tool in the passenger compa\
rtment fuse box. From the side,
examine the curved metal wire to see if it is broken. If so, put in a ne\
w fuse of the same color and
amperage (written on the fuse). Spare fuses are stored in the fuse box in the \
passenger compartment. If
fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by an au\
thorized Volvo retailer.
WARNING!
Never use fuses with higher amperage that those stated on the following \
pages. Doing so could
overload the car's electrical system.
