Replacing windshield wiper blades
1. Lift the wiper arm off the windshield and
hold the blade at a 45° to the arm. Press the
end of the plastic clip located on the arm.
2. Slide the wiper blade along the arm to
release it from the hook. The entire hooked
part of the wiper arm must pass through the
opening in the wiper blade.
3. Pull the old blade free of the wiper arm.
Install the new blade (installation is the
reverse of removal) and make sure that it is
properly attached to the wiper arm (clicks
into place).
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 stiff-bristle brush and
warm, soapy water as part of a normal car wash.

Headlight wiper blades (certain
models)
Pull the wiper blade in the direction indicated
by the arrow in the illustration to remove it.
Press the new wiper blade into place. The long
section of the blade should point toward the
grille. Check that the new blade is properly
attached to the wiper arm.

Battery maintenance
The battery in your car is located under the floor
of the trunk.
Driving habits and conditions, climate, the
number of starts, etc. all affect the service life
and function of the battery. In order for your
battery to perform satisfactorily, keep the
following in mind:
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING! |
* More frequently in warm climates.
** The level indicator inside the battery could be designed in various ways. See illustration.


Replacing the battery

- Never expose the battery to open flame or
electric spark. |
Ventilation hose: The battery generates hydrogen gas, which is flammable and explosive. The battery is fitted with a ventilation hose which vents hydrogen gas out of the battery compartment through a ventilation opening in the bottom of this compartment. If the battery must be replaced, it is essential that the ventilation hose is properly connected to the battery and that it is routed through the ventilation opening provided (see illustration). Be sure the ventilation hose is free of debris. Only use replacement batteries equipped with a ventilation hose. Consult your Volvo retailer. |

Replacing fuses
If an electrical component fails to function, it is
possible that a fuse has blown.
The fuse boxes are located in three different
places:
A - Relays/ fuse box in the engine compartment
B - Fuse box in the passenger compartment
C - Relays/ fuse box in the trunk
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. If a fuse is difficult to remove, you will find a special fuse removal tool in the passenger compartment fuse box. From the side, examine the curved metal wire (see next page) 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 the fuse box in the passenger compartment. If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by an authorized Volvo retailer.
WARNING!
|
Relay/ Fuse box in the engine compartment
When replacing fuses, be sure to replace a blown fuse with a new one of
the same color and amperage (written on the fuse).
