torque VOLVO V4 2001 Owners Manual

Changing a wheel
· Engage the parking brake.
· Put the gear selector in (P)ark.
· Get all the passengers to move to a safe place outside the car.
· Close all doors.
· Block the wheels remaining on the ground with wooden blocks, stones or something similar.
· Pull the wheel cover off the wheel (steel rims) or use the flat end of the lug wrench in the tool kit (1) (alloy rims) and
twist it to loosen the wheel cap (2).
· With the car still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel lugs 1/2 - 1 turn. Position the lug wrench so
that you apply force in a downward direction. Never lift up on the lug wrench to loosen or tighten lugs.
· Turn the bolts counterclockwise to loosen. If necessary, press down on the lug wrench with your foot to loosen the
lugs (3) .
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.
· Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel bolts should never be greased or lubricated.
Extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with steel rims, as they make it impossible to fit the hub caps.

Replacing spark plugs
The spark plugs should be changed according to your service program in your Warranty booklet. However, city
driving or fast highway driving may necessitate changing after 15,000 miles (24,000 km) of driving. When installing
new plugs, be sure to fit the right type and use correct torque, see "Specifications". When changing the plugs, check
that the suppressor connectors are in good condition. Cracked or damaged connectors should be replaced. When
changing the spark plugs, clean the terminals and the rubber seals.
