Introduction

Before replacing bulbs in your vehicle, please
keep the following points in mind:

NOTE

gers. Grease and oils from your fingers
vaporize in the heat and will leave a deposit
on the reflector, which will damage it.

The optional Active Bending Light bulbs
contain trace amounts of mercury. These
bulbs should always be disposed of by a
trained and qualified Volvo service techni-
cian.

Certain bulbs should only be replaced by a
