trunk VOLVO S80 2008 Owner's Guide

Tire sealing system
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, on the rear side of the center console in the rear seat. See
page 185
.
Accessing the tire sealing system
The tire sealing system is stowed under the floor of the trunk. To access it:
1. Fold up the floor carpeting, starting at the rear and working forward.
2. Remove the retaining screws
3. Lift out the foam plastic block holding the jack and lug wrench.
4. Lift out the tire sealing system.
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 inspected by a qualified service technician as soon as possible to determine if it can be permanently
repaired or must be replaced.
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.
