• Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dustcaps can rust and become difficult tounscrew.
NOTE
The sealing fluid bottle and the hose must be replaced after use. Volvo recommends thatthis replacement is performed by an author-ised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Check the tyre pressure regularly.
Volvo recommends that the car is driven to the nearest authorised Volvo workshop for thereplacement/repair of the damaged tyre. Advisethe workshop that the tyre contains sealing fluid.
WARNING
You should not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) after the emergency tyre repair kithas been used. Volvo recommends a visit toan authorised Volvo workshop for inspectionof the sealed tyre (maximum driving distanceis 200 km). The staff there can determinewhether or not the tyre can be repaired or if itneeds to be replaced.

When changing to another tyre
dimension
Check that the tyre dimension is approved foruse on the car. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop for updat- ing the software at each change of tyre dimen-sion. A software download may be necessaryboth when changing to larger and smaller dimen-sions, and also when switching between summerand winter wheels.

WARNING
Check that the jack is not damaged, that the threads are thoroughly lubricated and that it isfree from dirt.
3. Take out the jack *, wheel wrench * and tools
for the wheel bolts' plastic caps that are fitted in the foam block.
Tool for removing the plastic caps on the wheel bolts.
NOTE
The normal car jack is only designed for occa- sional, short-term use, such as when chang-ing a wheel after a puncture, changing to win-ter/summer wheels, etc. Only the jack for thespecific car model may be used to raise thecar. If the car is to be jacked up more often, orfor a longer time than is required just tochange a wheel, use of a garage jack is rec-ommended. In this instance, follow theinstructions for use that come with the equip-ment.
4. Place chocks in front of and behind the wheels which will remain on the ground to prevent them from rolling. Use heavy woodenblocks or large stones for example.
5. Screw together the towing eye with the wheel wrench * to the stop position.
IMPORTANT
The towing eye must be screwed all the way into the wheel bolt wrench.
6. Remove the plastic caps from the wheel
bolts with the intended tool.
7. Loosen the wheel bolts ½-1 turn anticlock- wise with the wheel wrench *.
WARNING
Never position anything between the ground and the jack, nor between the jack and thecar's jacking point.
IMPORTANT
The ground must be firm, smooth and level.
8. When raising the car, it is important that the
jack* or lifting arms are fitted in the intended
points on the car's underbody. The triangle markings in the plastic cover indicate thelocations of the jacking/lifting points. Thereare two jacking points on each side of thecar. There is a recess for the jack at eachpoint.

Crank up the jack
* so that it makes contact
with the car's jacking point. Check that the head of the jack is correctly positioned in thejacking point so that the bump in the centreof the head fits into the jacking point holeand the base is positioned vertically belowthe jacking point. Also make sure you turnthe jack so that the crank is as far away fromthe side of the car as possible, at which pointthe jack's arms are perpendicular to thedirection of the car.
WARNING
Never crawl under the car when it is raised on the jack. Passengers must leave the car when it is raised on the jack. If a wheel must bechanged in a trafficked environment, passen-gers must stand in a safe place.
9. Lift the car so that the wheel is free. Remove the wheel bolts and lift off the wheel.

2. Put on the wheel. Tighten the wheel bolts thoroughly. Do not use lubricant on the threads of the
wheel bolts.
3. Lower the car so that the wheels cannot rotate. 4. Tighten the wheel bolts crosswise. It is impor-

Winter wheels
Winter wheels are adapted for winter road con- ditions.
Volvo recommends winter tyres with particular dimensions. Tyre dimensions are dependent onengine variant. When driving on winter tyres, thecorrect type of tyres must be fitted to all fourwheels.
NOTE
Contact a Volvo dealer for advice about which wheel rim and type of tyre are most suitable.
Tips for changing to winter tyresWhen summer and winter wheels are changed, mark which side of the car they were mounted on, for example L for left and R for right.
Studded tyresStudded winter tyres should be run in gently for 500-1000 km so the studs settle properly intothe tyres. This gives the tyre, and especially thestuds, a longer service life.
NOTE
The legal provisions for the use of studded tyres vary from country to country.
Tread depthRoad conditions with ice, slush and low tempera- tures place considerably higher demands on tyresthan summer conditions. Volvo therefore recom-mends not to drive on winter tyres that have atread depth of less than 4 mm.
Snow chainsVolvo recommends that snow chains are notused on wheel dimensions greater than18 inches. Mounting instructions are supplied with Volvo original snow chains. Snow chains may only be used on the front wheels (also applies to all-wheel drive cars).Never drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph) withsnow chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as thiswears out both the snow chains and tyres.
WARNING
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equivalent chains designed for the car model, and tyre and rim dimensions. Only single-sided snow
chains are permitted. In the event of uncertainty about the show chain, Volvo recommends that an authorisedVolvo workshop should be contacted. Thewrong snow chains may cause serious dam-age to the car and lead to an accident.
