Replacing fuses

All electrical functions and components are protected by a number of fuses in order to protect the vehicle's electrical system from damage by short circuiting or overloading.
Refer to the fuse diagram to locate the fuse.
Pull out the fuse and examine it from the side to determine if the curved metal wire in the fuse is intact.
If the wire is broken, replace the fuse with a new fuse of the same color and amperage.

 Warning

Never use a foreign object or a fuse with a higher amperage than that specified to replace a fuse. This could cause significant damage to the electrical system and possibly lead to a fire.

 Warning

Contact an authorized Volvo workshop for assistance replacing fuses not listed in the Owner's Manual. If fuse replacement is performed incorrectly, significant damage can be caused to the electrical system.
