Emergency puncture repair - operation
Emergency puncture repair, where the emer- gency puncture repair kit (TMK - TemporaryMobility Kit) is used to seal a puncture andcheck and adjust the tyre pressure (p. 407).
Emergency puncture repair
For information on the function of the parts, see Emergency puncture repair kit - overview (p.334).1. Detach the label for maximum permitted
speed (which is fitted on one side of the compressor) and affix it to the steeringwheel.
WARNING
You should not drive faster than 80 km/h after the emergency tyre repair kit hasbeen used. Volvo recommends that youvisit an authorised Volvo workshop forinspection of the sealed tyre (maximumdriving distance is 200 km). The staff therecan determine whether or not the tyre canbe repaired or if it needs to be replaced.
WARNING
The sealing fluid can irritate the skin. In the case of contact with skin, wash away thefluid with soap and water.
2. Check that the switch is in position 0 and
locate the cable and the air hose.
NOTE
Do not break the bottle's seal before use. The seal is broken automatically when thebottle is screwed in.
3. Unscrew the orange cap and unscrew the bottle's stopper. 4. Screw the bottle into its holder.
WARNING
Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped with a reverse catch to prevent leakage.
5. Connect the hose from the compressor to
the valve.
6. Plug the cable into the 12 V socket and start the car.
NOTE
If the compressor is connected to one of the two 12 V sockets, in the tunnel con-sole, no other current consumer must beconnected to the other one.
WARNING
Do not leave children in the car without supervision when the engine is running.

7. Flick the switch to position I.
WARNING
Never stand next to the tyre when the compressor is running. If cracks orunevenness arise then the compressormust be switched off immediately. Thejourney should not be continued. Contact-ing an authorised tyre centre is recom-mended.
NOTE
When the compressor starts, the pressure can increase up to 6 bar but the pressuredrops after approximately 30 seconds.
8. Inflate the tyre for 7 minutes.
IMPORTANT
Risk of overheating. The compressor must not run for more than 10 minutes.
9. Switch off the compressor to check the
pressure on the pressure gauge. Mini- mum pressure is 1.8 bar and maximum3.5 bar. (Release air with the pressurereducing valve if the tyre pressure is toohigh.)
WARNING
If the pressure is below 1.8 bar then the hole in the tyre is too big. The journeyshould not be continued. Contacting anauthorised tyre centre is recommended.
10. Switch off the compressor and unplug thecable from the 12 V socket.
11. Detach the hose from the tyre valve and fit the valve cap.
12. As soon as possible, drive approximately 3 km at a maximum speed of 80 km/h so that the sealing fluid can seal the tyre.

Emergency puncture repair - rechecking
Emergency puncture repair, where the emer- gency puncture repair kit (TMK - TemporaryMobility Kit) is used to seal a puncture andcheck and adjust the tyre pressure (p. 407).
Check tyre pressure1. Reconnect the equipment.
2. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure
gauge.
• If it is below 1.3 bar 8
then the tyre is
insufficiently sealed. The journey should not be continued. Contact atyre centre.
• If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3 bar 8
, the tyre must be inflated to the
pressure specified in accordance with the tyre pressure table, see Tyres -approved tyre pressures (p. 407).Release air using the pressure reduc-ing valve if the tyre pressure is toohigh.
8 1 bar = 100 kPa.

Jacking points (arrows) for the jack that belongs to the car and lifting points (marked in red).
If the car is raised with a front workshop jack then it must be positioned under one of thefour lifting points furthest in under the car. Ifthe car is raised with a rear workshop jackthen it must be positioned under one of thelifting points. Ensure that the workshop jackis positioned so that the car cannot slide offthe jack. Always use axle stands or similar. If the car is raised with a two-pillar workshop lift then the front and rear lifting arms can bepositioned under the outer lifting points (jack-ing points). Alternatively, the inner liftingpoints can be used at the front.
