Jack attachment
There is a jack attachment located in the center on each side of the car. Position the jack on the bar in the attachment
as shown in illustration above and crank while simultaneously guiding the base of the jack to the ground. The base of
the jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the car, check that the jack is still
correctly positioned in the attachment.
WARNING!
The jack's attachment must engage the bar in the jack attachment (see inset illustration above). The car's weight must
not rest on the jack attachment.
Raise the vehicle until both wheels on the side of the car where the jack is attached are lifted off the ground. Unscrew
the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the thread on the studs.
NOTE: To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in the same location and
position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped with a guide stud to ensure
that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its original position (as when changing over to winter tires/wheels).
CAUTION: The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that
came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.
pg. 87 Wheel changing
WARNING!
The jack's attachment must engage the bar in the jack attachment (A). The car's weight must not rest on the jack
attachment (B).
Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface.
Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a car supported by a jack.
Use the jack intended for the car when replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support the side of the
car being worked on.
Apply the parking brake, select position P (automatic transmission) or Reverse gear (manual transmission).
Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
The jack should be kept well-greased.
Installing the wheel
ProCarManuals.com

Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. Make sure that you align the
wheel with the guide stud on the wheel hub prior to installation. Install the wheel bolts crosswise (see illustration) and
tighten by turning lightly clockwise. Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts to 100 ft. lbs.
(130 Nm). Install the wheel cap (where applicable).
CAUTION: Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel bolts should never be greased or
lubricated. The extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with steel rims, as they make it impossible to fit the
hub caps.
Correct tightening order for wheel bolts
pg. 88 Spare tire
Temporary Spare (certain models)
The spare tire in your car is called a "Temporary Spare". It has the following designation: T125/90 R15.
Recommended tire pressure (see decal on fuel filler flap) should be maintained irrespective of which position on the
car the Temporary Spare tire is used on.
In the event of damage to this tire, a new one can be purchased from your Volvo retailer.
CAUTION: The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that
came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.
WARNING!
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement for a
punctured tire. In other words, it must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire. Roadholding, etc., may be
affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not, therefore, exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
