NOTE The jack provided with your vehicle is
intended to be used only in temporary situa-
tions such as changing wheels in the event of
a flat tire. Only the jack that came with your
particular model should be used to lift the
vehicle. If the vehicle needs to be lifted more
frequently or for a prolonged period, using a
garage jack or hoist is recommended. Always
follow this device's instructions for use.
WARNING
Apply the parking brake and put the gear
selector in the Park (P) position.
Block the wheels standing on the ground,
use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
Check that the jack is not damaged, the
threads are properly lubricated and it is
free from dirt.
Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-
slippery surface and that it is upright and
not leaning.
The jack must correctly engage in the
jack attachment.
No objects should be placed between the
base of the jack and the ground, or
between the jack and the attachment bar
on the vehicle.
Never let anyone remain in the vehicle
when it is raised on a jack.
If a tire must be changed near passing
traffic, make sure all passengers move to
a safe location.
Use a jack intended for the vehicle when
changing a tire. For any other job, use
stands to support the vehicle.
Never crawl under or allow any part of
your body to be extended under a vehicle
supported by a jack.

15
The spare wheel is a Temporary Spare and can
be used to temporarily replace a punctured tire
on one of the vehicle's regular wheels.
The spare tire is only intended for temporary use.
Replace it with a normal wheel as soon as possi-
ble.
The driving characteristics of the vehicle change
and ground clearance reduces when the spare
wheel is used. Do not wash the vehicle in an
automatic car wash while using the Temporary
Spare.
The recommended tire pressure must be main-
tained regardless of at which position the tempo-
rary spare wheel is used on the vehicle.
If the spare wheel is damaged, a new one can be
purchased from a Volvo retailer.
WARNING Current legislation prohibits the use of the
"Temporary Spare" tire other than as a tem-
porary replacement for a punctured tire. It
must be replaced as soon as possible by a
standard tire. Road holding and handling may
be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in
use. Do not drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph).

WARNING
The vehicle must never be driven with
more than one "Temporary Spare" tire
mounted.
Driving with a spare wheel may alter the
driving characteristics of the vehicle.
Replace the spare wheel with a normal
wheel as soon as possible.
The spare wheel is smaller than the nor-
mal wheel, which affects the vehicle's
ground clearance. Watch for high curbs
and do not wash the vehicle in an auto-
matic car wash when a spare wheel is
mounted.
Follow the manufacturer's recommended
tire inflation pressure for the spare wheel.
On all-wheel drive vehicles, the drive on
the rear axle can be disconnected.
If the spare wheel is mounted on the
front axle, snow chains must not be used.
The spare wheel must not be repaired.
CAUTION The vehicle must not be driven with wheels of
different dimensions or with a spare tire other
than the one that came with the vehicle. The
use of different size wheels can seriously
damage your vehicle's transmission.

10. Switch off the compressor and check the
inflation pressure using the air pressure
gauge. The inflation pressure should be
between 1.8 bar (22 psi) and 3.5 bar
(51 psi). If the inflation pressure is too high,
use the air release valve to release air.
WARNING If pressure falls below 1.8 bar (22 psi), the
hole in the tire may be too large. The vehicle
should not be driven. Call roadside assistance
to have the vehicle towed to a workshop for
inspection/replacement of the tire. Volvo rec-
ommends an authorized workshop.
11.

Switch off the compressor and remove the
electrical cable.
12. Unscrew the hose from the tire's valve and screw the valve cap back on.

to help prevent leakage of any residual seal-
ing compound. Return the equipment to the
cargo compartment.
14.

Immediately drive the vehicle at least 3 km
(2 miles) at a maximum speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph) to allow the sealing compound to
seal the tire, and then recheck the inflation
pressure.
NOTE During the tire's first revolution, some sealing
compound may spray out of the puncture
hole.
WARNING
Before driving away, make sure that no one is
near the vehicle who could be sprayed with
sealing compound. Make sure no one is
within 2 meters(7 feet) of the vehicle.
15. Rechecking the inflation pressure
Connect the hose to the tire's valve and
screw the hose connector onto the valve as
far as possible. The compressor must be
switched off. 16.

Check the inflation pressure on the air pres-
sure gauge.
If the pressure is under 1.3 bar (19 psi),
the tire is not sufficiently sealed. The vehi-
cle should not be driven. Call roadside
assistance to have the vehicle towed.
If the inflation pressure is higher than
1.3 bar (19 psi), the tire must be inflated
to the inflation pressure specified on the
tire pressure decal on the driver's side
door pillar (1 bar = 100 kPa = 14.5 psi). If
the inflation pressure is too high, use the
air release valve to release air.
NOTE Replace the sealing compound bottle and
hose after use. Volvo recommends having
these replaced by an authorized Volvo work-
shop.
WARNING
Check inflation pressure regularly.
Volvo recommends driving to the nearest author-
ized Volvo workshop to have the tire replaced/
repaired. Inform the workshop that the tire con-
tains sealing compound.

618 Hoisting the vehicle
When hoisting the vehicle, it is important to
ensure the jack/vehicle hoist is correctly
engaged in the designated attachment points
under the vehicle.
For vehicles with self-leveling*, pneumatic sus-
pension (if installed) must be turned off before
the vehicle is lifted. Turning off the function in the
center display.
WARNING If the vehicle is lifted on a garage jack, the
jack must be placed under one of the four lift-
ing points. Make sure that the vehicle is cor-
rectly positioned on the jack and that it can-
not slide off. Make sure the jack plate has a
rubber pad to help keep the vehicle stable
and prevent damage. Always use axle stands
or similar.
NOTE Volvo recommends only using the jack
intended for your specific vehicle model. If a
jack other than that recommended by Volvo is
used, follow the instructions included with the
equipment.
The vehicle's ordinary jack is only intended to
be used in temporary situations for short peri-
ods of time, such as when changing wheels in
the event of a flat tire. If the vehicle needs to
be lifted more frequently, or for a longer
period of time than for a wheel change, a
garage jack or hoist is recommended. Always
follow the instructions for use provided with
the equipment.
