Fuses and central electrical units
All electrical functions and components are protected by a number of fuses in order to protect the car's electrical system from damage by short circuiting or overloading.
Warning
Never use a foreign object or a fuse with an amperage higher than that specified when replacing a fuse. This could cause significant damage to the electrical system and possibly lead to fire.
Warning
Orange-coloured cables must only be handled by qualified personnel.
Warning
Several components in the car work with high-voltage current that could be dangerous in the event of incorrect intervention.
Do not touch anything that is not clearly described in the owner's manual for the car.
If an electrical component or function does not work, it may be because the component's fuse was temporarily overloaded and failed. If the same fuse fails repeatedly then there is a fault in the circuit. Volvo recommends contacting an authorised Volvo workshop for checking.
