Attaching the jack
There is a jack attachment adjacent
to each wheel location. Position the
jack on the bar in the jack
attachment as shown in the
illustration above and crank while
simultaneously guiding the base to
the ground. The base of the jack
must be flat on a level, firm, non-
slippery surface. Before raising the
car check that the jack is still
correctly positioned in the
attachment. Now raise the vehicle
until the wheel is free of the ground.
Unscrew the wheel nuts completely
and carefully remove the wheel so
as not to damage the tread of the
studs. Installing the wheel
Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. Lift the wheel and plac\
e it on the hub. Make sure that you align the wheel
with the guide stud on the wheel hub prior to installation. Install the \
wheel nuts crosswise and tighten lightly. The conical
side of the nuts should face the wheel. Lower the vehicle to the ground \
and alternately tighten the nuts to 63 ft. lbs. (85 Nm).
Install the wheel cap.
Correct tightening order for wheel nuts
Spare tire pg. 80
WARNING!
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire othe\
r than as a
temporary replacement for a punctured tire. In other words, it must be r\
eplaced as
soon as possible by a standard tire. Roadholding, etc., may be affected \
with the
"Temporary Spare" in use. Do not, therefore, exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). \
Temporary Spare (certain models)
The spare tire of your car is what is called a "Temporary Spare".
Recommended tire pressure (see decal) should be maintained irrespectiv\
e of which
position on the car the Temporary Spare tire is used on. In the event of\
damage to this
tire a new one can be purchased from your Volvo retailer.
