through a ventilation
opening in the bottom of this compartment. If the battery must be replac\
ed, it is essential that the
ventilation hose is properly connected to the battery and that it is rou\
ted through the ventilation
opening provided (see illustration).
l Be sure the ventilation hose is free of debris.
l Only use replacement batteries equipped with a ventilation hose. Consult\
your Volvo retailer.

e vehicle with the central
locking system's remote control to reactivate such features as the power\

Replacing bulbs
When replacing bulbs, keep the following points in mind:
l Never touch the glass of bulbs with your fingers. Grease and oils from y\
our fingers vaporize in the
heat and will leave a deposit on the reflector, which will damage it.
l The optional Active Bi-Xenon headlight bulbs contain trace amounts of me\
rcury. These bulbs should
always be disposed of by an authorized Volvo retailer.
l The following bulbs should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo servi\
ce technician:
- Active Bi-Xenon headlights,
- Courtesy (dome) lighting,
- Reading lights,
- Glove compartment lights
- Turn signals and courtesy lights in the side door mirrors
- High-mounted brake lights
- Diodes in the rear tail lights
Replacing bulbs at the front of the vehicle
All front bulbs (except the optional front fog lights) are replaced fr\
om the engine compartment.
WARNING!
Active Bi-Xenon headlights (option) - due to the high voltage used by \
these headlights, these bulbs
should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo service technician.
