The entire headlight housing must be lifted out when replacing all front bulbs.

CAUTION

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.

NOTE

• Always switch off the ignition before starting to replace a bulb.
• The optional Active Bending Light bulbs contain trace amounts of mercury. These bulbs should always be disposed of by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
