Maintenance and service -&gt; Bulb replacement for your Volvo XC40 2018-2026

Lamp types vary depending on model and

equipment level. If a bulb¹⁴breaks, it can be

replaced according to the method described

in the Owner's Manual.

The exterior lighting of the car uses a number

of different lamps. An LED¹⁶type lamp must

be replaced by a workshop. An authorised

Volvo workshop is recommended.

If an error message remains after the bro-

ken bulb has been replaced then we rec-

ommend visiting an authorised Volvo

workshop.

If a fault occurs in LED¹⁵lamps, the entire

lamp unit usually must be replaced.

Lamps, front

Outside lighting such as headlamps and

rear lamps may temporarily have conden-

sation on the inside of the lens. This is nor-

mal, all exterior lighting is designed to

withstand this. Condensation is normally

vented out of the lamp housing when the

lamp has been switched on for a time.

For information about bulbs not covered in

this Owner's Manual, contact a Volvo

dealer or an authorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

The car's electrical system must be in igni-

tion position 0 when replacing bulbs.

changes and acquires a beautiful patina over

time. Regular cleaning and treatment are

required in order that the properties and col-

ours of the leather shall be preserved. Volvo

leather upholstery. The protective outer layer

of the leather is preserved when this is used

according to the instructions.
