Handling the spare wheel 15
Follow these instructions regarding handling the spare wheel.
Accessing the spare wheel
This illustration is generic and appearance may vary.
The spare tire is located in the spare wheel well under the cargo compartment with theoutside of the wheel facing downward. Thespare tire is secured with a bolt that goesthrough the tire and attaches it to the body.The foam block contains all tools needed tochange a wheel.
1. Lift the rear edge of the cargo compart- ment floor.
2. Unscrew the retaining bolt.
3. Lift out the spare wheel.
Stowing a flat tire1. Screw the spare tire's retaining bolt back on.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to unscrew the lower part of the retaining bolt if it is attached to thebody, as this could cause it to break. If the retaining bolt becomes dislodged from its lower attachment point in thebody under the spare tire, replace it in thehole and turn clockwise to secure it again.
WARNING
On vehicles with 48 V batteries, the bolt is attached to the battery box instead of thebody. If the lower part of the retaining boltis not dislodged when the spare tire istaken out, it should be removed to helpprevent injury when the flat tire is replaced.
2. Put the tools back in their correct posi- tions in the foam block.
3. Then lower the trunk/cargo compartment floor and place the punctured tire in the trunk/cargo compartment.

Snow tires
Snow tires are designed for winter driving conditions.
Volvo recommends snow tires with specific dimensions. The tire dimensions vary depend-ing on engine type. When driving with snowtires, the correct type of tires must be moun-ted on all four wheels.
Tips for changing snow tiresWhen switching between regular tires andsnow tires, mark the tires according to whichside they were mounted on, e.g. L for left and
R for right.
Contact a Volvo retailer for assistance deter-mining the most suitable rims and tires.
Studded tiresStudded tires should be broken in by driving500–1000 km (300–600 miles) slowly andgently to help the studs settle properly in thetires. This gives the tire, and especially thestuds, a longer service life.
NOTE
Legal requirements concerning the use of studded tires may vary. Always follow locallaws and regulations.
Tread depthRoad conditions with ice, slush and low tem- peratures place considerably higher demands on tires than summer conditions. Volvo there-fore recommends not driving on snow tiresthat have a tread depth of less than 4 mm(0.15 inch).

Tire sealing system17
The temporary tire sealing system can be used to seal a puncture in a tire or to checkand adjust the pressure in the tire. Models equipped with a spare wheel 18
do not
have the tire sealing system.

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 cargo compartment floor.
