2007 Volvo XC70
Changing wheels
The spare wheel is located under the rear hatch in the cargo area floor.\
The jack and crank are secured in
the wheel recess (see
pages 171 and 173).
There are two jack attachment points on each side of the vehicle (see i\
llustration on next page).
To change a wheel:
- Engage the parking brake.
- Put the gear selector in (P)ark (automatic transmission) or revers\
e (manual transmission).
- Remove the wheel cap (where applicable) using the lug wrench in the \
tool bag.
- With the vehicle still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the\
wheel bolts 1/2 - 1 turn by
exerting downward pressure. Turn the bolts counterclockwise to loosen.

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.
- Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel b\
olts should never be greased
or lubricated. The extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with s\
teel rims, as they make it
impossible to fit the hub caps.
- Locking wheel bolts can be used on both aluminum and steel wheels. If \
hub caps are used on steel
wheels, the locking wheel bolt should be mounted in the hole as far from\
the tire's inflation valve as
possible. It would otherwise not be possible to mount the hub cap on the\
wheel.

Changing wheels
- Position the jack correctly on the bar in the attachment (see illustr\
ation above) and crank while
simultaneously guiding the base of the jack to the ground. The base of t\
he jack must be flat on a level,
firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the vehicle, check that the j\
ack is still correctly positioned in
the attachment.
- Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be changed is lifted off the grou\
nd.
- Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so a\
s not to damage the threads on
the studs.

NOTE: To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and rein\
stall wheels in the same
location and position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalan\
ce, each wheel hub is equipped
with a guide stud to ensure that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in i\
ts original position (as when
changing over to winter tires/wheels).
Installing the wheel
- Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub.
- Lift the wheel and place it on the hub.
- Install the wheel bolts and tighten hand-tight. Using the lug wrench, \
tighten crosswise until all bolts are
snug.
- Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts cros\
swise to 102 ft. lbs. (140 Nm).
- Install the wheel cap (where applicable).
