Spare wheel 14
The spare wheel is a Temporary Spare and can be used to temporarily replace a punc-tured tire on one of the vehicle's regularwheels.
The spare wheel is only intended for tempo- rary use. Replace it with a normal wheel assoon as possible. The driving characteristics of the vehicle change and ground clearance reduces whenthe spare wheel is used. Do not wash the vehi-cle in an automatic car wash while using theTemporary Spare. The recommended tire pressure must be maintained regardless of at which position thetemporary spare wheel is used on the vehicle. If the spare wheel is damaged, a replacement can be purchased from a Volvo retailer.
WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" wheel other than as atemporary replacement for a puncturedtire. It must be replaced as soon as possi-ble by a standard tire. Roadholding andhandling may be affected with the "Tempo-rary Spare" wheel in use.

The vehicle must never be driven withmore than one "Temporary Spare"wheel mounted.
Driving with a spare wheel may alterthe driving characteristics of the vehi-cle. Replace the spare wheel with anormal wheel as soon as possible.
The spare wheel is smaller than thenormal wheel, which affects the vehi-cle's ground clearance. Watch for highcurbs and do not wash the vehicle inan automatic car wash when a sparewheel is mounted.
