* Option/accessory. 569
1.

Clean the contact surfaces between the
wheel and the wheel hub.
2. Lift the wheel into place. Tighten the wheel bolts securely.
Do not grease the wheel bolt threads.
3. Lower the vehicle so that the wheel cannot rotate.
4. Tighten the wheel bolts in a crisscross pat- tern (as shown in illustration). It is important
that the wheel bolts are securely tightened.
Tighten to a torque of 140 Nm (103 ft.lbs.).
Use a torque wrench to check torque. 5. Press the plastic covers onto the wheel bolts.
WARNING The wheel bolts may need to be tightened
again several days after a wheel change.
Temperature fluctuations and vibrations can
cause them to loosen slightly.
NOTE
•
After inflating a tire, always replace the
valve cap to help prevent valve damage
caused by gravel, dirt, etc.
• Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.

11
The spare wheel is a Temporary spare and can
be used to temporarily replace a punctured tire
on one of the vehicle's regular wheels. The spare tire is only intended for temporary use.
Replace it with a normal wheel as soon as possi-
ble.
The driving characteristics of the vehicle change
and ground clearance reduces when the spare
wheel is used. Do not wash the vehicle in an
automatic car wash while using the Temporary
Spare.
The recommended tire pressure must be main-
tained regardless of at which position the tempo-
rary spare wheel is used on the vehicle.
If the spare wheel is damaged, a new one can be
purchased from a 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 drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph).

CAUTION
Snow chains can be used on the vehicle, with
the following restrictions:
• Volvo recommends not using snow
chains on wheel dimensions larger than
19 inches.
• Always follow the manufacturer's installa-
tion instructions carefully. Install chains
as 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 wheels
are used, snow chains in some cases
may NOT be used. Sufficient distance
between the chains and brakes, suspen-
sion and body components must be
maintained.
• Check local regulations regarding the use
of snow chains before installing.
• Never exceed the snow chain manufac-
turer's specified maximum speed limit.
Under no circumstances should you
exceed 50 km/h (30 mph).
• Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when
driving with snow chains. •
Avoid driving on surfaces without snow as
this wears out both the snow chains and
the tires.
• The handling of the vehicle can be
adversely affected when driving with
chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as well
as locked wheel braking.
• Some types of strap-on chains affect
brake components and therefore must
NOT be used. Consult a Volvo retailer for more information
about snow chains.

Winter driving (p. 461) Tire sealing system
13
The temporary tire sealing system can be used
to seal a puncture in a tire or to check and
adjust the pressure in the tire.
Models equipped with a spare wheel 14
do not
have the tire sealing system.
The tire sealing system consists of a compressor
and a bottle containing sealing compound. The
sealing functions as a temporary repair.
NOTE The sealing compound effectively seals tires
with punctures in the tread but may not be
able to fully seal tires with punctures in the
sidewall. Do not use the tire sealing system
on tires with large tears, cracks or similar
damage.
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.
