06 Starting and drivingAll Wheel Drive (option)
06152
All Wheel Drive (AWD) – general
informationYour Volvo can be equipped with permanent
All Wheel Drive (option), which means that
power is distributed automatically between the
front and rear wheels. Under normal driving
conditions, most of the engine's power is
directed to the front wheels. However, if there
is any tendency for the front wheels to spin, an
electronically controlled coupling distributes
power to the wheels that have the best traction.Tire dimensionsVolvo 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 mixed 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 a placard located on the driver's
side B-pillar (the structural member at the side
of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door
opening). See also page 178 for the tire infla-
tion pressure tables beginning, .
Temporary SpareThe 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 mph (80 km/h).
Never install snow chains on a temporary
spare.

187 Temporary spare
The spare tire in your car is called a "Temporary
Spare".
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 tem-
porary 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 a speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) with the "Temporary
Spare" in use.
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 seri-
ously damage your car's transmission.
