Replacing bulbs
General
Bulb specifications can be found on
page 247.
The following list contains bulbs and point-
source lamps that are specialised or
unsuitable for changing except at a
workshop:
• Active Bi-Xenon and Bi-Xenon lamp
• General interior lighting in the roof.
• Reading lamps
• Glovebox lighting
• Direction indicators in the door mirrors.
• Approach lighting in the door mirrors.
• High-level brake light.
• LEDs in the rear lamp cluster.
Changing front bulbs
All front bulbs (except for fog lamps) are
changed by first removing the lamp housing
from the engine compartment.
NOTE! If you experience difficulty when
replacing a bulb then we recommend that
you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Location of the bulbs in the
headlamp
1
1. Side marker lamp
2. Direction indicator
3. Dipped beam lamp, position lamp
(halogen and Bi-Xenon)
4. Main beam lamp, position lamp (Active
Bi-Xenon)
On certain variants, a white plastic sleeve
may impede bulb replacement. This can be
broken off and discarded.
IMPORTANT!
Never touch the bulbs’ glass with your
fingers. Grease and oils from your fingers
are vaporised by the heat, coating and
damaging the reflector.
WARNING!
On cars with Bi-Xenon and Active Bi-
Xenon headlamps the replacement of the
Xenon lamp must be carried out by an
authorised Volvo workshop. The
headlamps must be handled with extreme
care due to the high-voltage unit in the
Xenon lamp.
