WARNING
l Never leave the tire sealing system unattended when it is operating.
l Keep the tire sealing system kit away from children.
l The vehicle's engine should be running when the tire sealing system is u\
sed to avoid battery drain.
Therefore, be sure the vehicle is parked in a well ventilated place befo\
re using the system.

Tire sealing system
Temporarily repairing a flat tire is done in two stages
l In the first stage, the hole is sealed by pumping sealing compound into \
the tire. The car is then driven a
short distance to distribute the sealing compound in the tire.
l In the second stage, the tire's inflation pressure is checked and adjust\
ed if necessary.
Stage 1 - Sealing the hole
Peel off the speed limit sticker (1) and affix it to the steering whee\
l hub where it will be clearly visible to
the driver.

If the pressure remains below 22 psi (1.8 bar) after approximately sev\
en minutes, turn off the
compressor. In this case, the hole is too large to be sealed and the veh\
icle should not be driven.
10. Unscrew the hose from the tire's inflation valve and reinstall the v\
alve cap.
11. Fold down the orange section of the tire sealing system to its origi\
nal (horizontal) position and press
the safety catch into place.
12. Safely stow the tire sealing system kit in a convenient place as it \
will soon be used again to check the
tire's inflation pressure.
13. Immediately drive the vehicle for approximately 2 miles (3 km) to \
distribute the sealing compound in
the tire.

Stage 2 - Checking inflation pressure
1. Park the car in a safe place.
2. Ensure that the orange switch (2) is in position 0 (the 0 side of \
the switch should be pressed down).
3. Remove the valve cap from the tire's inflation valve and screw the ho\
se connector onto the valve as
tightly as possible by hand.
WARNING
If heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behavior, or noises should occur \
while driving, reduce speed and
park the car in a safe place. Recheck the tire for bumps, cracks, or oth\
er visible damage, and recheck its
inflation pressure. If the pressure is below 16 psi (1.3 bar), do not \
continue driving. Have the vehicle
towed to a workshop or Volvo retailer.
4. Connect the electrical wire to the nearest 12-volt socket in the vehi\
cle.
5. Start the vehicle's engine.
6. Check the tire's inflation pressure on the gauge (9).
