Recommended tire pressure (see the placard on the B-pillar or on the fuel filler door) should be maintained irrespective
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.WARNING!
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary 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 exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). Do not drive farther than 50 miles (80 km) on
a temporary spare tire.
CAUTION:
The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with
the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.

CAUTION:
The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with
the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.
WARNING!
• The jack's attachment must engage the bar in the jack attachment (see inset illustration on the previous page). The
car's weight must not rest on the jack attachment.
• Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface.
• Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a car supported by a jack.
• Use the jack intended for the car when replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support the side of the
car being worked on.
• Apply the parking brake, select position P (automatic transmission) or Reverse gear (manual transmission).
• Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
• The jack should be kept well-greased.
Installing the wheel
Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. Lift the wheel and place 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 bolts crosswise (see illustration) and
tighten by turning lightly clockwise. Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts to 102 ft. lbs.
(140 Nm). Install the wheel cap (where applicable).
CAUTION : Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel bolts should never be greased or
lubricated. The extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with steel rims, as they make it impossible to fit the
hub caps.
