NOTE The jack provided with your vehicle is
intended to be used only in temporary situa-
tions such as changing wheels in the event of
a flat tire. Only the jack that came with your
particular model should be used to lift the
vehicle. If the vehicle needs to be lifted more
frequently or for a prolonged period, using a
garage jack or hoist is recommended. Always
follow this device's instructions for use.
WARNING
Apply the parking brake and put the gear
selector in the Park (P) position.
Block the wheels standing on the ground,
use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
Check that the jack is not damaged, the
threads are properly lubricated and it is
free from dirt.
Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-
slippery surface and that it is upright and
not leaning.
The jack must correctly engage in the
jack attachment.
No objects should be placed between the
base of the jack and the ground, or
between the jack and the attachment bar
on the vehicle.
Never let anyone remain in the vehicle
when it is raised on a jack.
If a tire must be changed near passing
traffic, make sure all passengers move to
a safe location.
Use a jack intended for the vehicle when
changing a tire. For any other job, use
stands to support the vehicle.
Never crawl under or allow any part of
your body to be extended under a vehicle
supported by a jack.

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.

Removing a wheel (p. 576) Spare wheel
15
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).

Snow tires
Snow tires are designed for winter driving.
Volvo recommends snow tires with specific
dimensions. The tire dimensions vary depending
on engine type. When driving with snow tires, the
correct type of tires must be mounted on all four
wheels.
NOTE Contact a Volvo dealer for advice on the best
choice of rims and tires.
Tips for changing snow tiresWhen switching between regular tires and snow
tires, mark the tires according to which side they
were mounted on, e.g. L for left and R for right.
Studded tiresStudded tires should be broken in by driving
500–1000 km (300–600 miles) slowly and gen-
tly to help the studs settle properly in the tires.
This gives the tire, and especially the studs, a
longer service life.
NOTE
Regulations regarding the use of studded
tires vary from country to country.
Tread depthRoad conditions with ice, slush and low tempera-
tures place considerably higher demands on tires
than summer conditions. Volvo therefore recom-
mends not driving on snow tires that have a tread
depth of less than 4 mm (0.15 inch).

Tread wear indicator (p. 563) Snow chains
Using snow chains and/or snow tires can help
improve traction in winter driving conditions.
WARNING Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equivalent
snow chains that are suitable for the vehicle
model and the tire and wheel sizes. Only one-
sided snow chains are permitted.
If uncertain about snow chains, Volvo recom-
mends contacting an authorized Volvo work-
shop. Use of the wrong snow chains could
cause serious damage to the vehicle and
result in an accident.

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.
