Temporary spare
Temporary spare (option)
The spare tire in your car is called a "Temporary Spare".
Recommended tire pressure (see the placard on the B-pillar) 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.
Location of the optional spare wheel and tools
The spare wheel is packed in a storage bag and is located under the panel in the floor of the trunk.
On cars with a spare wheel, the jack and lug wrench are secured in a foam plastic block placed in the center of the
wheel.
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.
The retaining straps securing the spare wheel is attached to two eyelets in the floor of the spare wheel's storage
compartment.
WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement for a
punctured tire. It must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire. Road holding and handling may be affected
with the "Temporary Spare" in use.

Tire sealing system
Introduction
Certain models are equipped with a tire sealing system that enables you to temporarily seal a hole in the tread surface
and reinflate a flat tire, or to adjust a tire's inflation pressure.
The system consists of an air compressor, a container for the sealing compound, wiring to connect the system to the
vehicle's electrical system via one of the 12-volt sockets, and a hose used to connect the system to the tire's inflation
valve.
The 12-volt sockets are located in the front tunnel console and in the trunk (option). See pages 66
and 108.
Accessing the tire sealing system
The tire sealing system is stowed in the compartment in the rear side of the ski hatch in the center of the rear seat
backrest. See page 109
for information on opening this hatch
NOTE
The tire sealing system is only intended to seal holes on the tire's tread area, not the sidewall.
Tires with large holes or tears cannot be repaired with the tire sealing system.
WARNING
After using the tire sealing system, the vehicle should not be driven farther than approximately 120 miles (200
km). Have the tire replaced as soon as possible.
The vehicle should not be driven faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) while using a tire that has been temporarily
repaired with the tire sealing system.
After using the tire sealing system, drive carefully and avoid abrupt steering maneuvers and sudden stops.
