2007 VOLVO XC90 flat tire

2007 Volvo XC90
WARNING!
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-\
ahead) traction tests and is not a
measure of cornering (turning) traction.
TEMPERATURE
The temperature grades are AA (the highest), A, B, and C, representing\
the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under c\
ontrolled conditions on a specified
indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the m\
aterial of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire \
failure. The grade C corresponds
to a minimum level of performance that all passenger vehicle tires must \
meet under the Federal Motor
Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of perfo\
rmance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required by law.
WARNING!
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is pr\
operly inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separatel\
y or in combination, can cause
heat buildup and tire failure.

Snow chains
Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with the following restrictions:
l Snow chains should be installed on front wheels only. Use only Volvo app\
roved snow chains.
l If accessory, aftermarket or "custom" tires and wheels are installed and\
are of a size different than the
original tires and wheels, chains in some cases CANNOT be used. Sufficie\
nt clearances between chains
and brakes, suspension and body components must be maintained.
l Some strap-on type chains will interfere with brake components and there\
fore CANNOT be used.
l All Wheel Drive models: Snow chains should only be installed on the fron\
t wheels. Only chains
adapted for AWD models should be used.
Consult your Volvo retailer for additional snow chain information.

- Connect the two sections of the jack's crank.
- Insert the hooked end of the crank in the spare wheel retaining attach\
ment (see the illustration below).
- Lower the spare wheel under the vehicle by turning the crank countercl\
ockwise until it is not possible
to turn it further.
- Pivot the toggle at the end of the cable 90 degrees to release it from\
the spare wheel
- Crank up the cable again by turning the crank clockwise. CAUTION!
When the spare wheel is mounted on the vehicle, the retaining cable coul\
d damage the underside of
the vehicle if it is not retracted.
- Place the wheel with the flat tire in the vehicle's cargo compartment.\
NOTE: The space under the vehicle is designed to hold the special spare wheel\
only. Other full-size
wheels will not fit in this compartment.
Returning the spare wheel to the storage compartment
- Use the crank (turn it counterclockwise) to lower the spare wheel's \
retaining cable.
- Pass the toggle at the end of the cable through the center hole in the\
spare wheel. Pivot the toggle 90
degrees so that when raised, the wheel will rest on the toggle.
- Retract the retaining cable slightly by slowly turning the crank clock\
wise several times.
- Position the wheel so that it is not obstructed by components in the e\
xhaust system.

- Place the jack on the ground, under one of the attachment points (see\
the illustration on the previous
page) and crank while simultaneously guiding the jack's attachment brac\
ket onto the attachment point
(see illustration above) The base of the jack must be flat on a level,\
firm, non-slippery surface. Before
raising the vehicle, check that the jack is still correctly positioned i\
n 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).
