MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Battery recycling
Fuses and fuseboxes
Location of fuseboxes
Start batteries and support batteries contain
lead and must be recycled in an environmen-
tally sound manner at the end of their service
life.
All electrical functions and components are
protected by a number of fuses in order to
protect the vehicle's electrical system from
damage by short circuiting or overloading.
Consult a workshop if you are uncertain of
how to dispose of this type of waste ‒ an
authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
WARNING
Never use a foreign object or a fuse with a
higher amperage than that specified to
replace a fuse. This could cause significant
damage to the electrical system and possi-
bly lead to a fire.

If any electrical component or function is not
responding, the component may have blown a
fuse due to temporary overload. If the same
fuse blows repeatedly, there may be a prob-
lem with the component. Volvo recommends
contacting an authorized Volvo workshop to
have the component checked.
