NOTE: Other bulbs, such as the rear reading lamps, etc, may be difficult for the owner to replace. Let your Volvo retailer replace these bulbs if necessary.
If an electrical component fails to function, it is likely that a fuse has blown due to a temporary circuit overload.
The fuse boxes are located in the engine compartment (see illustration) and can be opened by pressing the catches and lifting the cover (Relay/Main fuse box) or by lifting the cover (supplementary fuse box).
A label on the inside of each cover indicates the amperage and the electrical components that are connected to each fuse.
The easiest way to see if a fuse is blown is to remove it *. Pull the
fuse straight out. From the side, examine the curved metal wire to see if it
is broken. If so, put in a new fuse of the same color and amperage
(written on the fuse). Spare fuses are stored in a compartment in the
Supplementary fuse box. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical
system tested at a Volvo retailer. If you find it difficult to remove a fuse, you
will find a special fuse tool clipped in the fuse box.
WARNING!
|
* Fuses in the Relay/Main fuse box should only be changed by
an authorized Volvo service technician.
Fuses in the main fuse box protect the entire electrical system. If one of the fuses blows, there is a serious electrical fault. Do not change any of these fuses. Contact your nearest Volvo retailer for a closer analysis.

Lift the wiper arm off the windshield and hold the blade at right angles to the arm. Pinch
the end of the plastic clip located at the back of
the arm.
Slide the wiper blade along the arm to release it from the hook.
Install the new blade (installation is the reverse of removal) and make sure that it is
properly attached to the wiper arm.
NOTE: For reasons of safety, you should change the windshield wiper blades as soon as they start to leave marks on the windshield or fail to wipe efficiently and cleanly.
To obtain maximum lifetime from a set of wiper blades, clean them with a
stiffbristle brush and warm, soapy water as part of
a normal car wash.
If the windshield is not clear after using the wiper(s) or if the blade chatters when running, wax or other material may be on the blade or on the surface of the glass.
Clean the glass with a suitable cleaning agent. The glass is clean if beads do not form when you rinse it with water.
Clean the wiper blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked on a regular basis and replaced when worn.
Pull the wiper blade in the direction indicated by the arrow in the illustration to remove
it. Press the new wiper blade into place. Check that the new blade is properly attached to
the wiper arm.
The gear selector is locked in the (P)ark position. To manually release the shiftlock:
The fuel filler door can be opened manually by removing the cover
over the right tail light housing and pulling the cord (A) until the fuel
filler door pops open.
NOTE: The tools needed (A and B in the illustration) are located in the glove compartment.
1. Open the trunk. The trunk must be open during the entire procedure.
2. Open the cover over the convertible top storage space
3. Pull the convertible top forward
4. Close the cover over the convertible top storage compartment
5. Fold the rear window down
NOTE: After manually raising the convertible top, the car should be inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer.
If the automatic circuit breakers have activated, wait at least 20 seconds before attempting to raise the top again using the switch on the instrument panel.
CAUTION:
*If the lower rear brace is not used to pull up the convertible top, the entire mechanism may be damaged.
