Note
For information about bulbs not covered in this Owner’s Manual, contact a Volvo dealer or an authorized Volvo workshop.
Warning
The car’s electrical system must be in ignition position 0 when replacing bulbs.
Important
Never touch the glass part of the bulbs with your fingers. Grease from your fingers is vaporized by the heat, coating the reflector and then causing damage.
Note
If an error message remains after the broken bulb has been replaced then we recommend visiting an authorized Volvo workshop.
Note
Outside lighting such as headlamps and rear lamps may temporarily have condensation on the inside of the lens. This is normal and all exterior lighting is designed to withstand this. Condensation is normally vented out of the lamp housing when the lamp has been switched on for a time.
