Winter wheels
Winter wheels are adapted for winter road con- ditions.
Volvo recommends winter tyres with particular dimensions. Tyre dimensions are dependent onengine variant. When driving on winter tyres, thecorrect type of tyres must be fitted to all fourwheels.
NOTE
Contact a Volvo dealer for advice about which wheel rim and type of tyre are most suitable.
Tips for changing to winter tyresWhen summer and winter wheels are changed, mark which side of the car they were mounted on, for example L for left and R for right.
Studded tyresStudded winter tyres should be run in gently for 500-1000 km so the studs settle properly intothe tyres. This gives the tyre, and especially thestuds, a longer service life.
NOTE
The legal provisions for the use of studded tyres vary from country to country.
Tread depthRoad conditions with ice, slush and low tempera- tures place considerably higher demands on tyresthan summer conditions. Volvo therefore recom-mends not to drive on winter tyres that have atread depth of less than 4 mm.
Snow chainsVolvo recommends that snow chains are notused on wheel dimensions greater than18 inches. Mounting instructions are supplied with Volvo original snow chains. Snow chains may only be used on the front wheels (also applies to all-wheel drive cars).Never drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph) withsnow chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as thiswears out both the snow chains and tyres.
WARNING
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equivalent chains designed for the car model, and tyre and rim dimensions. Only single-sided snow
chains are permitted. In the event of uncertainty about the show chain, Volvo recommends that an authorisedVolvo workshop should be contacted. Thewrong snow chains may cause serious dam-age to the car and lead to an accident.

Jack*
Use the jack to raise the car when changing a wheel.
Only use the original jack when fitting a spare wheel or when changing between summer andwinter wheels. The jack's thread must always bewell greased.
IMPORTANT
The tools and jack * must be stored in the
intended location in the car's cargo area when not in use.
The jack needs to be cranked together to the correct position in order to have space.
NOTE
The normal car jack is only designed for occa- sional, short-term use, such as when chang-ing a wheel after a puncture, changing to win-ter/summer wheels, etc. Only the jack for thespecific car model may be used to raise thecar. If the car is to be jacked up more often, orfor a longer time than is required just tochange a wheel, use of a garage jack is rec-ommended. In this instance, follow theinstructions for use that come with the equip-ment.
Applies to cars with level control *
If the car is equipped with air suspension then this must be deactivated before the car is raisedwith the jack. Switch off the function via the centre display:1.

8.5 Rim width in inches
J Rim flange profile
19 Rim diameter in inches
47,5 Off-set in mm (distance from wheel centre to wheel contact surface against the hub)

Designations for tyre dimension, load index and speed rating.
The car has an approval for the complete vehicle with certain combinations of wheel rims andtyres.
Designation of dimensionsAll tyres have a dimension designation, such as:255/40 R19 100 W.
255 Tyre width (mm)
40 Ratio between tyre wall height and tyre width (%)
R Radial ply
19 Rim diameter in inches
100 Codes for the maximum permitted tyre load, tyre load index (LI)
W Speed rating for maximum permitted speed, speed rating (SS). (In this case 270 km/h (168 mph).)
Load indexEach tyre has a certain capacity to carry a load, a load index (LI). The car's weight determines theload capacity required of the tyres. The lowestpermitted load index is specified in a load indextable.
Speed ratingEach tyre can withstand a certain maximumspeed. Tyre speed rating, SS (Speed Symbol),must at least correspond with the car's topspeed. The table below shows the maximum per-mitted speed for each speed rating (SS). Theonly exception to these regulations is winter tyres3
, where a lower speed rating may be used.
If such a tyre is chosen, the car must not be driven faster than the speed rating of the tyre (forexample, class Q can be driven at a maximum of160 km/h (100 mph).) The top speed at whichthe car can be driven depends on road condi-tions, not the speed rating of the tyres.
NOTE
The maximum permitted speed is specified in the table.
Q 160 km/h (100 mph) (used only on win- ter tyres)
T 190 km/h (118 mph)
H 210 km/h (130 mph) V 240 km/h (149 mph)
W 270 km/h (168 mph) Y 300 km/h (186 mph)
