Jack*
The jack can be used to lift the vehicle to e.g.
change a wheel. The illustration is generic – the design may vary.
CAUTION
When not in use, the jack* should be kept
in its storage compartment under the
cargo compartment floor.
The jack provided with your vehicle is
intended to be used only in temporary sit-
uations 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. The jack needs to be cranked together to the
correct position in order to fit.
Models with leveling control*
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional pneu-
matic suspension, it must be turned off before
the vehicle is lifted on a jack.

Tool kit (p. 574) Wheel bolts
The wheel bolts hold the wheel in place on the
wheel hub.
CAUTION The wheel bolts should be tightened to
140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.). Over-tightening or
under-tightening could damage the threaded
joints.
Only use rims that have been tested and
approved by Volvo and are included in Volvo's
original product range.
Use a torque wrench to check that the wheel
bolts are tightened correctly.
Do not grease the wheel bolt threads.
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.
Locking wheel bolts*A tool for removing the locking wheel bolts is
located in the foam block under the cargo com-
partment floor.

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.
