3.Make sure the switch is in the 0 (Off) posi-tion and take out the electric cable and thehose.
4.Unscrew the orange cover on the compres-sor and unscrew the cap on the sealing com-pound bottle.
5.Screw the bottle onto the bottle holder as faras possible.
The bottle and the bottle holder are equip-ped with catches to help prevent the sealingcompound from leaking. Once the bottle isscrewed into place into the bottle holder, itcannot be unscrewed. The bottle can only beremoved by a workshop. Volvo recommendsan authorized Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Do not unscrew the bottle. It is equipped witha catch to prevent leakage.
6. Unscrew the tire's valve cap and screw thehose's valve connector as far as possibleonto the valve.
Be sure the air release valve on the com-pressor's hose is completely closed.
7.Connect the electrical cable to the nearest12 V outlet and start the vehicle.
NOTE
Make sure that none of the vehicle's other12 V sockets are used while the compressoris running.
WARNING
Never leave children unattended in the vehiclewhile the engine is running.
WARNING
Inhaling exhaust fumes could lead to seriousinjury. Never leave the engine running in anenclosed space or a space without sufficientventilation.
8. Start the compressor by moving the switch tothe I (On) position.
WARNING
Never stand next to a tire being inflated withthe compressor. If cracks, bulges, etc. form onthe tire, switch off the compressor immedi-ately. The vehicle should not be driven. Callroadside assistance to have the vehicle towedto a workshop for inspection/replacement ofthe tire. Volvo recommends an authorizedworkshop.
NOTE
When the compressor first starts, air pressuremay temporarily increase up to 6 bar (88 psi)but should decrease again after approxi-mately 30 seconds.
9. Inflate the tire for 7 minutes.
CAUTION
To help avoid overheating, the compressorshould never be used for more than10 minutes at a time.

10. Switch off the compressor and check theinflation pressure using the air pressuregauge. The inflation pressure should bebetween 1.8 bar (22 psi) and 3.5 bar(51 psi). If the inflation pressure is too high,use the air release valve to release air.
WARNING
If pressure falls below 1.8 bar (22 psi), thehole in the tire may be too large. The vehicleshould not be driven. Call roadside assistanceto have the vehicle towed to a workshop forinspection/replacement of the tire. Volvo rec-ommends an authorized workshop.
11. Switch off the compressor and remove theelectrical cable.
12.Unscrew the hose from the tire's valve andscrew the valve cap back on.
NOTE
After inflating a tire, always replace thevalve cap to help prevent valve damagecaused by gravel, dirt, etc.
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal capscould corrode and become difficult toremove.
13. Put the protective hose cover onto the hoseto help prevent leakage of any residual seal-ing compound. Return the equipment to thecargo compartment.
14. Immediately drive the vehicle at least 3 km(2 miles) at a maximum speed of 80 km/h(50 mph) to allow the sealing compound toseal the tire, and then recheck the inflationpressure.
NOTE
During the tire's first revolution, some sealingcompound may spray out of the puncturehole.
WARNING
Before driving away, make sure that no one isnear the vehicle who could be sprayed withsealing compound. Make sure no one iswithin 2 meters(7 feet) of the vehicle.
15.Rechecking the inflation pressure
Connect the hose to the tire's valve andscrew the hose connector onto the valve asfar as possible. The compressor must beswitched off.
16. Check the inflation pressure on the air pres-sure gauge.
If the pressure is under 1.3 bar (19 psi),the tire is not sufficiently sealed. The vehi-cle should not be driven. Call roadsideassistance to have the vehicle towed.
If the inflation pressure is higher than1.3 bar (19 psi), the tire must be inflatedto the inflation pressure specified on thetire pressure decal on the driver's sidedoor pillar (1 bar = 100 kPa = 14.5 psi). Ifthe inflation pressure is too high, use theair release valve to release air.
NOTE
Replace the sealing compound bottle andhose after use. Volvo recommends havingthese replaced by an authorized Volvo work-shop.
WARNING
Check inflation pressure regularly.
Volvo recommends driving to the nearest author-ized Volvo workshop to have the tire replaced/repaired. Inform the workshop that the tire con-tains sealing compound.
