MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Battery recycle
Fuses and central electrical units
Engine compartment
A used starter battery or support battery
must be recycled in an environmentally sound
manner.
Consult a workshop in the event of uncertainty
about how this type of waste should be dis-
carded - an authorised Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.
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
Fuses in engine compartment (p. 591)
Never use a foreign object or a fuse with an
amperage higher than that specified when
replacing a fuse. This could cause signifi-
cant damage to the electrical system and
possibly lead to fire.

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 contacting
an authorised Volvo workshop for checking.
