wheel VOLVO C70 CONVERTIBLE 2007 Owner´s Manual

2007 Volvo C70
The system consists of an air compressor, an integrated container for th\
e 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.
NOTE
The tire sealing system is only intended to seal holes on the tire's tre\
ad area, not the
sidewall.
l Tires with large holes or tears cannot be repaired with the tire sealing\
system.
WARNING
l After using the tire sealing system, the vehicle should not be driven fa\
rther than approximately 120
miles (200 km). Have the tire replaced as soon as possible.
l The vehicle should not be driven faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) while us\
ing a tire that has been
temporarily repaired with the tire sealing system.
l After using the tire sealing system, drive carefully and avoid abrupt st\
eering maneuvers and sudden
stops.
l A tire that has been temporarily inflated with the tire sealing kit cann\
ot be repaired and re-used. It
must be replaced.

Temporarily repairing a flat tire
Before using the tire sealing system, observe the following:
WARNING
l Never leave the tire sealing system unattended when it is operating.
l Keep the tire sealing system kit away from children.
l The vehicle's engine should be running when the tire sealing system is u\
sed to avoid battery drain.
Therefore, be sure the vehicle is parked in a well ventilated place befo\
re using the system.
l Be sure the vehicle is parked safely off the road and away from moving t\
raffic.
l Apply the parking brake.
l Do not remove any foreign objects (nails, etc.) from the tire.

Tire sealing system
Temporarily repairing a flat tire is done in two stages
l In the first stage, the hole is sealed by pumping sealing compound into \
the tire. The car is then driven a
short distance to distribute the sealing compound in the tire.
l In the second stage, the tire's inflation pressure is checked and adjust\
ed if necessary.
Stage 1 - Sealing the hole
Peel off the speed limit sticker (1) and affix it to the steering whee\
l hub where it will be clearly visible to
the driver.

If the pressure remains below 22 psi (1.8 bar) after approximately sev\
en minutes, turn off the
compressor. In this case, the hole is too large to be sealed and the veh\
icle should not be driven.
10. Unscrew the hose from the tire's inflation valve and reinstall the v\
alve cap.
11. Fold down the orange section of the tire sealing system to its origi\
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.

Tire sealing system
Stage 2 - Checking inflation pressure
1. Park the car in a safe place.
2. Ensure that the orange switch (2) is in position 0 (the 0 side of \
the switch should be pressed down).
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.
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\
cle.
5. Start the vehicle's engine.
6. Check the tire's inflation pressure on the gauge (9).

NOTE
In dark conditions, switching on the tire sealing system's compressor wi\
ll illuminate the pressure
gauge.
7. Inflate the tire to the correct pressure as indicated in the tire inf\
lation tables on
pages 156 and 157. If
the tire needs to be inflated, start the tire sealing system's compresso\
r. If necessary, release air from the
tire by pressing the vent button (8).
8. Turn off the compressor (press switch 2 to the 0 position) when the\
correct inflation pressure has been
reached.
CAUTION
The compressor should not be used for more than ten minutes at a time to\
avoid
overheating.
9. Unscrew the hose from the tire's inflation valve and reinstall the va\
lve cap.
10. Disconnect the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket.
11. Return the hose and electrical wire to the compartment on the side o\
f the unit.
NOTE
When the tire sealing system has been used to seal a flat tire, the tank\
containing the sealing compound,
and the hose must be replaced. See the instructions on the following pag\
e. Contact a Volvo retailer for
replacement parts.

After use, return the tire sealing system to its storage compartment beh\
ind the ski hatch in the center of
the rear seat backrest.
WARNING
If you interrupt your trip for more than one hour, check the inflation p\
ressure in the damaged tire again
before continuing. See the section "Stage 2: Checking inflation pressure\
" 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).
After use, the container (6), its retaining bracket (9), and the hos\
e (10) must be replaced. Please consult
your Volvo retailer for replacement parts.
See also the safety regulations on the bottom of the container.
WARNING
Be sure that the compressor is not connected to a 12-volt socket while r\
eplacing the
container.

permanently damaged.
l A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil.
l A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt. Howe\
ver, use a wash place
equipped with a drainage separator.
l Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain holes i\
n the doors and rocker panels.
l Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car has \
been washed.
l A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the \
wiper blades. Frequent
cleaning improves visibility considerably.
l Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc).
l In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommende\
d.
l After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for \
water and blown dry if
necessary.
Exterior plastic components
Cleaning exterior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agen\
t specially designed for this
purpose. Solvents or stain removers should not be used. Consult your Vol\
vo retailer.
NOTE
When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in th\
e doors and
sills.
CAUTION
l During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer \
to the vehicle than 13" (30
cm). Do not spray into the locks.
l When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water or steam\
directly on the electrical
components or toward the rear side of the engine.
l Chromed wheels: Clean chrome-plated wheels using the same detergents use\
d for the body of the
vehicle. Aggressive wheel-cleaning agents can permanently stain chrome-p\
lated wheels.
Automatic washing - simple and quick
We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the fir\
st six months (because the
paint will not have hardened sufficiently).
An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is\
worth remembering that it may
not be as thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and \
water.
Keeping the underbody clean is most important, especially in the winter.\

The brake fluid should always be between the MIN and MAX marks on the si\
de of the reservoir. Check,
without removing the cap, that there is sufficient fluid in the reservoi\
r.
Fluid type: DOT 4+ boiling point > 536°F (280°C), P/N 9437433
Replace: The fluid should be replaced according to the intervals specified in t\
he Warranty and Service
Records Information booklet. When driving under extremely hard condition\
s (mountain driving, etc), it
may be necessary to replace the fluid more often. Consult your Volvo ret\
ailer. Always entrust brake fluid
changing to an authorized Volvo retailer.
Power steering fluid
The fluid level is checked at each service interval.
Fluid type: Volvo power steering fluid or equivalent.
Replace: No fluid change required.
WARNING
If a problem should occur in the power steering system or if the vehicle\
has no electrical current and
must be towed, it is still possible to steer the vehicle. However, keep \
in mind that greater effort will be
required to turn the steering wheel.
