All Wheel Drive (option)
All Wheel Drive (AWD) - general information
Your Volvo can be equipped with permanent All Wheel Drive (option), wh\
ich means that power is distributed
automatically between the front and rear wheels. Under normal driving co\
nditions, most of the engine's power is directed
to the front wheels. However, if there is any tendency for the front whe\
els to spin, an electronically controlled coupling
distributes power to the wheels that have the best traction.
Tire dimensions
Volvo recommends that you always drive on tires of the same brand, size,\
construction (radial), tread pattern, load-,
speed-, traction- , temperature-, and treadwear rating. Never drive on m\
ixed tires, except for brief periods when the
temporary spare tire is in use.
Always use properly inflated tires of correct dimensions. Tire size and \
inflation pressures are shown on the tire inflation
pressure placards, located on the driver's side B-pillar (the structura\
l member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the
driver's door opening), or on the inside of the fuel filler door on Can\
adian models.
Temporary Spare
The temporary spare tire is for temporary, low-speed, short-distance use\
only. Replace it with a full-sized tire as soon as
possible. Do not drive on the temporary spare at speeds above 50 m.p.h. \
(80km/h) or for distances greater than 50 miles
(80 km).
Never install snow chains on a temporary spare.

WARNING!
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire othe\
r than as a temporary

e 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 spar\
e tire.
CAUTION!
The vehicle must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or wi\
th a spare tire other than the
one that came with the vehicle. The use of different size wheels can ser\
iously damage your vehicle's
transmission.
