from the engine compartment.
Removing the headlamp

on the start/stop button and removing the
remote control key.
2. Withdraw the lamp housing’s locking
pins .
3. Pull the lamp housing straight
forward .
4. Detach the lamp housing connector by
pressing down the clip with your
thumb and at the same time guide
out the connector with your other
hand.
5. Lift out the lamp housing and place it on
a soft surface to avoid scratching the
lens.

page 183.
Installing the headlamp
1. Plug in the connector, a clicking sound
should be heard.
2. Reinstall the lamp housing and locking
pins. Check that they are correctly in-
serted.
3. Check the lighting.
The lamp housing must be plugged in and in-
stalled before the lighting is switched on or
the remote control key is inserted into the ig-
nition switch.
WARNING
On cars with Bi-Xenon and Active Bi-Xenon
headlamps, Xenon lamp replacement must
be carried out at an authorised Volvo work-
shop. The headlamps must be handled with
extreme care due to the Xenon lamp’s high-
voltage unit.
IMPORTANT
Never touch the glass part of the bulbs with
your fingers. Grease and oils from your fin-
gers are vaporised by the heat, coating the
reflector and then causing damage.
WARNING
Always switch off the ignition and remove
the remote control key before starting to re-
place a bulb.
