1. Activate the vehicle's hazard warning flashersif the tire sealing system is to be used in an area with traffic. If the flat tire was caused by a nail, etc., do not remove it from the tire. It will help to sealthe hole.
2. Peel off the speed limit sticker and affix it to the steering wheel hub where it will beclearly visible to the driver. The vehicle shouldnot be driven faster than 50 mph (80 km/h)while using a tire that has been temporarilyrepaired with the tire sealing system.
3. Ensure that the on/off switch is in position 0
and take out the electrical wire and hose.
NOTE
Do not break the seal on the bottle. This occurs automatically when the bottle isscrewed into the holder.
WARNING
Contact with the sealing compound may cause skin irritation. If contact occurs, washthe affected area immediately with soap andwater.
4. Unscrew the orange cover over the bottle holder on the compressor and unscrew the cap on the bottle of sealing compound.
5. Screw the bottle into the bottle holder as far as possible.
WARNING
The bottle is equipped with a catch to keep it securely in place and help prevent sealingcompound leakage. Once in place, the bottlecannot be unscrewed. This must be done by atrained and qualified Volvo service technician. 6. Be sure the air release valve on the com-
pressor's hose is completely closed. Remove the valve cap from the tire

ice technician to have the bottle removed and properly disposed of.
WARNING
If heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behavior, or noises should occur while driving, reducespeed and park the vehicle in a safe place.Recheck the tire for bumps, cracks, or othervisible damage, and recheck its inflation pres-sure. If the pressure is below 19 psi (1.3 bar),do not continue driving. Have the vehicletowed to a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
15. Rechecking the pressure Reconnect the tire sealing system's hose to the tire's inflation valve. 16. Without starting the compressor, check the
inflation pressure on the air pressure gauge. •If the pressure is under 19 psi (1.3 bar), the puncture has not been sealed suffi-ciently and the vehicle should not bedriven. Have the vehicle towed to a trainedand qualified Volvo service technician.
• If the pressure is more than 19 psi(1.3 bar), connect the electrical wire to a12-volt socket, start the compressor andinflate the tire to the correct pressure(see the tire pressure decal on the on thedriver's side B-pillar (the structural mem-ber at the side of the vehicle, at the rearof the driver's door opening). Use the airrelease valve to release some air from thetire if necessary.
17. Switch off the compressor and disconnect the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket. Unscrew the hose from the tire

WARNING
•After using the tire sealing system, the vehicle should not be driven farther thanapproximately 120 miles (200 km).
• Have the tire inspected by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician as soonas possible to determine if it can be per-manently repaired or must be replaced.
• The vehicle should not be driven fasterthan 50 mph (80 km/h) while using a tirethat has been temporarily repaired withthe tire sealing system.
• After using the tire sealing system, drivecarefully and avoid abrupt steeringmaneuvers and sudden stops.

Inflating a tire with the tire sealing system compressor
The compressor can be used to inflate a tire.
1. The compressor should be switched off. Ensure that the on/off switch is in position 0.
Take out the electrical wire and hose.
2. Be sure the air release valve on the com- pressor's hose is completely closed. Remove the valve cap from the tire

4686. Turn off the compressor (press the on/off
switch to position 0) when the correct infla-
tion pressure has been reached.
CAUTION
• After inflating the tires, always reinstall the valve cap to help avoid damage to thevalve from dirt, gravel, etc.
• Use plastic valve caps only. Metal capscould corrode and become difficult toremove.
7. Disconnect the electrical wire from the 12-
volt socket.

Refilling coolant
Coolant helps keep the gasoline engine at the proper operating temperature. The heat transfer-red from the engine to the coolant can be usedto warm the passenger compartment.
When refilling coolant, follow the instructions on the package and use the recommended amountof coolant. Never fill the cooling system withwater only; this could lead to freezing, corrosionand engine damage.
WARNING
If the engine has been running, the coolant will be very hot. Allow the engine to coolbefore opening the coolant expansion tank. Ifthis is not possible, open the cap very slowlyto allow pressure to dissipate.
Lift the rubber strip by pressing it inward in the engine compartment.
Remove the plastic cover by folding out the catch and lifting the cover upward.
Remove the expansion tank and add coolant. The level should be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the tank.
Put the other components back in place in the reverse order.

Fuses The fuses help protect the vehicle's electrical components from overloading or short circuits.
WARNING
Never use metal objects or fuses with higher amperage than those stated on the lists offuses. Doing so could seriously damage oroverload the vehicle's electrical system. Orange wires may only be handled by trained and authorized Volvo service technicians orlicensed electricians. A number of component in the vehicle used high voltage electrical current and can be verydangerous to touch. Do not touch any components that are not clearly described in this owner's information.
If an electrical component fails to function, this may be due to a blown fuse. If the same fuseblows repeatedly, this indicates a problem withthe component, which should be inspected by atrained and qualified Volvo service technician.
