CAUTION
Snow chains can be used on the vehicle, with the following restrictions:• Volvo recommends not using snowchains on wheel dimensions larger than19 inches.
• Always follow the manufacturer's installa-tion instructions carefully. Install chainsas tightly as possible and retighten peri-odically.
• Only put snow chains on the front wheels(also applies to all-wheel drive vehicles).
• If accessory, aftermarket or "custom"tires and wheels with different dimen-sions than the original tires and wheelsare used, snow chains in some casesmay NOT be used. Sufficient distancebetween the chains and brakes, suspen-sion and body components must bemaintained.
• Check local regulations regarding the useof snow chains before installing.
• Never exceed the snow chain manufac-turer's specified maximum speed limit.Under no circumstances should youexceed 50 km/h (30 mph).
• Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns whendriving with snow chains.
• Avoid driving on surfaces without snow as this wears out both the snow chains andthe tires.
• The handling of the vehicle can beadversely affected when driving withchains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as wellas locked wheel braking.
• Some types of strap-on chains affectbrake components and therefore mustNOT be used.
Consult a Volvo retailer for more information about snow chains.

Tire sealing system12
The temporary tire sealing system can be used to seal a puncture in a tire or to check andadjust the pressure in the tire. Models equipped with a spare wheel 13
do not
have the tire sealing system.
The tire sealing system consists of a compressor and a bottle containing sealing compound. Thesealing functions as a temporary repair.
NOTE
The sealing compound effectively seals tires with punctures in the tread but may not beable to fully seal tires with punctures in thesidewall. Do not use the tire sealing systemon tires with large tears, cracks or similardamage.
NOTE
The compressor is intended for temporary tire sealing and is approved by Volvo.
LocationThe tire sealing system is located in a foam block under the floor of the cargo compartment.
