Fuses - general
All electrical functions and components are
protected by a number of fuses in order to
protect the car's electrical system from dam-
age by short circuiting or overloading.
WARNING
Orange cables marked with a high-voltage
decal must only be handled by qualified
personnel.
WARNING
Several components in the car operate
with lethal high-voltage electricity.
Do not touch anything that is not clearly
described in this owner's manual.
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 that
you visit an authorised Volvo workshop for
checking.
Changing
1. Look in the fuse diagram to locate the
fuse.
2. Pull out the fuse and check from the side
to see whether the curved wire has
blown.
