Jack*
A jack is used to raise the car, e.g. when changing the tyres. The original jack should only be used for changing to the spare wheel. The jack'sthread must always be well greased.
Tools - returning into place
The tools and jack* must be returned to their correct places after use. The jack needs to becranked together to the correct position inorder to have space.
IMPORTANT
The tools and jack* must be stored in the intended location in the car's cargo areawhen not in use.

Winter tyres
Winter tyres are tyres that are adapted for winter road conditions.
Winter tyresVolvo recommends winter tyres with particu-lar dimensions. Tyre dimensions are depend-ent on engine variant. When driving on wintertyres, the correct type of tyres must be fittedto all four wheels.
NOTE
Volvo recommends that you consult a Volvo dealer about which wheel rim andtyre types are most suitable.
Studded tyresStudded winter tyres should be run in gently for 500-1000 km so the studs settle properlyinto the tyres. This gives the tyre, and espe-cially the studs, a longer service life.
NOTE
The legal provisions for the use of studded tyres vary from country to country.
Tread depthRoad conditions with ice, slush and low tem- peratures place considerably higher demandson tyres than summer conditions. Volvotherefore recommends not to drive on wintertyres that have a tread depth of less than4 mm.

Using snow chainsSnow chains may only be used on the front wheels (also applies to all-wheel drive cars).Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snowchains. Avoid driving on bare ground as thiswears out both the snow chains and tyres.
WARNING
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiva- lent chains designed for the car model,and tyre and rim dimensions. In the eventof uncertainty Volvo recommends that youconsult an authorised Volvo workshop.The wrong snow chains may cause seriousdamage to your car and lead to an acci-dent.

Wheel and wheel rim dimensions
Wheel and rim dimensions are designated in accordance with the examples in the tablebelow. The car has an approval for the complete vehicle. This means that certain combinationsof wheel (wheel rim) and tyre are approved. Wheels (rims) have a designation of dimen- sions, for example: 7Jx16x50.

WARNING
19-inch wheels must never be used on
cars that are not equipped with the R-
Design or Sport chassis options. The use of 19-inch wheels on cars with standard
chassis constitutes a safety risk, with a
risk of vehicle damage, and it impairs thecar's driving characteristics.

• Wheel and wheel rim dimensions (p. 322)
Tyres - load index
Load index indicates a tyre's ability to carry a certain load. Each tyre has a certain capacity to carry a load, a load index (LI). The car's weight deter-mines the load capacity required of the tyres.Minimum permissible index is indicated in theload index table.

• Tyres - speed ratings (p. 323)
• Tyres - maintenance (p. 318)
Tyres - speed ratings
Each tyre can withstand a certain maximum speed and therefore belongs to a particularspeed rating (SS - Speed Symbol). Tyre speed class must at least correspond with the car's top speed. Minimum speed rat-ing is indicated in the speed rating tablebelow. The only exception to these regula- tions is the winter tyre (p. 321) 1
, where a
lower speed rating may be used. If such a tyre is chosen, the car must not be drivenfaster than the speed rating of the tyre (forexample, class Q can be driven at a maxi-mum of 160 km/h). Traffic regulations deter-mine how fast a car can be driven, not thespeed rating of the tyres.
NOTE
The maximum permitted speed is speci- fied in the table.
Q160 km/h (used only on winter tyres)
T190 km/h
H210 km/h
V240 km/h

WARNING
The car must be fitted with tyres which have the same or a higher load index (p.323) (LI) and speed rating (SS) than speci-fied. If a tyre with too low a load index orspeed rating is used, it may overheat.

Changing wheels - removing wheels
The car's wheels can be changed for e.g. win- ter wheels/winter tyres.
Spare wheel*The following instructions only apply if aspare wheel has been purchased as an accessory for the car.
If the car is not equip-
ped with a spare wheel - see information about Emergency puncture repair (TMK) (p.333). The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only intended for use temporarily and must bereplaced by an ordinary wheel as soon aspossible. The car's handling may be alteredby the use of the spare wheel. The sparewheel is smaller than the normal wheel. Thecar's ground clearance is affected accord-ingly. Pay attention to high kerbs and do notmachine wash the car. If the spare wheel isfitted on the front axle, you cannot use snowchains at the same time. On all-wheel drivecars the drive on the rear axle can be discon-nected. The spare wheel must not berepaired. The correct tyre pressure for the spare wheel is stated in the tyre pressure table (p. 407).
IMPORTANT
• Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a spare wheel on the car.
• The car must never be driven fittedwith more than one "TemporarySpare" wheel.
The spare wheel is supplied in a bag which must be secured on the cargo area floorusing straps.
Cars with four load retaining eyelets.
Turn the handle on the spare wheel bag out towards you. Attach the sewn-in tensioningstrap hooks in the front load retaining eyelets.Attach the long strap into one of the frontload retaining eyelets, run the strap diagonallyover the spare wheel and through the upperhandle. Tighten the short tensioning straponto the long one. Attach the rear load retain-ing eyelet and tighten.

Tyres - air pressure
Tyres can have different air pressures which are measured in bar.
Check the air pressure in the tyresThe tyre pressures must be checked everymonth.
• Tyre pressure for the car's recommended tyre dimension
• ECO pressure 2
NOTE
•
Check the tyre pressure when the tyres are cold. "Cold tyres" means thatthe tyres are at the same temperatureas the outdoor temperature. The tyreswill heat up and the tyre pressures willincrease after driving for a few kilome-tres.
• Tyre pressures which are too low willincrease fuel consumption, reduce tyreservice life and impair the car's han-dling. Driving with tyre pressureswhich are too low may lead to thetyres overheating and sustaining dam-age. Tyre pressures affect ride com-fort, road noise and steering.
• Tyre pressure decreases over time,this is a natural phenomenon. Tyrepressure also varies depending onambient temperature.
Tyre pressure label
G021830
The tyre pressure label on the driver's side door pillar (between frame and rear door)shows which pressures the tyres should haveat different loads and speed conditions. Thisis also specified in the tyre pressure table,see Tyres - approved tyre pressures (p. 407).
Fuel economy, ECO pressureIn order to obtain optimum fuel economy atspeeds below 160 km/h an ECO pressure isrecommended (applies to both full and lightload), see Tyres - approved tyre pressures (p.407).
