Replacing bulbs
When replacing bulbs, keep the following points in mind:
• 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 Active Bending Light bulbs
contain trace amounts of mercury. These
bulbs should always be disposed of by an
authorized Volvo retailer.
The following bulbs should only be replaced by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician:
• Active Bending Lights
• Courtesy (dome) lighting
• Reading lights
• Glove compartment lights
• Turn signals and courtesy lights in the side
door mirrors
• High-mounted brake lights
