1. Ensure that the orange switch (2) is in position 0 (the 0 side of \
the switch should be pressed down).
2. Pull out the electrical wire (5) and hose (4) from the side compa\
rtment (3).
3. Remove the valve cap from the tire's inflation valve and screw the ho\
se connector onto the valve as
tightly as possible by hand.
4. Connect the electrical wire to the nearest 12-volt socket in the vehi\
cle.
5. Release the safety catch (6) and turn the orange colored section of\
the sealing kit (7), which holds the
sealing compound container, 90 degrees until it clicks into the vertical\
position.
6. Start the vehicle's engine.
7. Start the tire sealing system's compressor by pressing the switch (2\
) to position I.
NOTE
The air pressure gauge (9) will temporarily show an increase in pressu\
re to approximately 88 psi (6 bar)
while the sealing compound is being pumped into the tire. The pressure s\
hould return to a normal level
after approximately one minute.
WARNING
l Contact with the sealing compound may cause skin irritation. If contact \
occurs, wash the affected area
immediately.
l Never stand next to the tire being inflated when the compressor is in op\
eration.
l If cracks, bubbles, etc. form on the tire, switch off the compressor imm\
ediately.
l If there is visible damage to the sidewall or the rim, the tire cannot b\
e repaired. The vehicle should
not be driven if this occurs.
Contact a towing service or Volvo On Call Roadside Assistance if applica\
ble.
8. Within seven minutes, inflate the tire to between 22 - 50 psi (1.8 -\

nal (horizontal) position and press
the safety catch into place.
12. Safely stow the tire sealing system kit in a convenient place as it \
will soon be used again to check the
tire's inflation pressure.
13. Immediately drive the vehicle for approximately 2 miles (3 km) to \
distribute the sealing compound in
the tire.

WARNING
If heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behavior, or noises should occur \
while driving, reduce speed and
park the car in a safe place. Recheck the tire for bumps, cracks, or oth\
er visible damage, and recheck its
inflation pressure. If the pressure is below 16 psi (1.3 bar), do not \
continue driving. Have the vehicle
towed to a workshop or Volvo retailer.
4. Connect the electrical wire to the nearest 12-volt socket in the vehi\

lve cap.
10. Disconnect the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket.

" on
page 154.
Replacing the sealing compound container
The sealing compound container must be replaced if:
l the tire sealing system has been used to repair a tire
l the container's expiration date has passed (see the date on decal 1).
