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 tires

When 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 tires

Studded 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 depth

Road 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).

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.

WHEELS AND TIRES

552

CAUTION

Snow chains can be used on the vehicle, with
the following restrictions:

Volvo recommends not using snow
chains on wheel dimensions larger than
18 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.

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

17

do not

have the tire sealing system.

WARNING

California Proposition 65

Operating, servicing and maintaining a pas-

senger vehicle can expose you to chemicals

including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide,

phthalates, and lead, which are known to the

State of California to cause cancer and birth

defects or other reproductive harm. To mini-

mize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do

not idle the engine except as necessary, serv-

ice your vehicle in a well ventilated area and

wear gloves or wash your hands frequently

when servicing your vehicle. For more infor-

mation go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/

passenger-vehicle.

The tire sealing system consists of a compressor
and a bottle containing sealing compound. The
sealing functions as a temporary repair.

553

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.

Location

The tire sealing system is located in a foam block
under the floor of the cargo compartment.

Sealing compound expiration date

The sealing compound bottle must be replaced if
its expiration date has passed (see the decal on
the bottle). Handle the old bottle as hazardous
waste.

use. The seal is broken automatically when
the bottle is screwed into place.

WARNING

Please keep the following points in mind

when using the tire sealing system:

The sealing compound bottle (no. 8 in the
illustration) contains 1) rubber latex, natu-
ral and 2) ethanediol. These substances
are harmful if swallowed.

The contents of this bottle may cause
allergic skin reactions or otherwise be
potentially harmful to the respiratory tract,
the skin, the central nervous system, and
the eyes.

Precautions:

Keep out of reach of children.

Do not ingest the contents.

Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with
the skin. Remove any clothing that has
come into contact with sealant.

Wash thoroughly after handling.

First aid:

Skin: Wash affected areas of the skin
with soap and water. Get medical atten-
tion if symptoms occur.

Eyes: Flush with plenty of water for least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper
and lower eyelids. Get medical attention if
symptoms occur.

Inhalation: Move the exposed person to
fresh air. If irritation persists, get medical
attention.

Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting
unless directed to do so by medical per-
sonnel. Get medical attention.

Disposal: Dispose of this material and its
container at a hazardous or special waste
collection point.

WARNING

Do not remove the bottle while the tire
sealing system is being used.

Do not remove the hose while the tire
sealing system is being used.

1. Turn on the vehicle's hazard warning flashers

if the tire sealing system is to be used in an
area with traffic.

If the puncture was caused by a nail or simi-
lar object, do not remove it. It will help seal
the hole.

2. Peel off the speed limit sticker from the side

of the compressor. Affix the decal to a clearly
visible location on the windshield to remind
the driver not to exceed this speed limit. Do
not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) while
using a tire that has been temporarily
repaired with the tire sealing system.

tion and take out the electric cable and the
hose.

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 far

as possible.

The bottle and the bottle holder are equip-
ped with catches to help prevent the sealing
compound from leaking. Once the bottle is
screwed into place into the bottle holder, it
cannot be unscrewed. The bottle can only be
removed by a workshop. Volvo recommends
an authorized Volvo workshop.

WARNING

Do not unscrew the bottle. It is equipped with

a catch to prevent leakage.

6. Unscrew the tire's valve cap and screw the

hose's valve connector as far as possible
onto the valve.

Be sure the air release valve on the com-
pressor's hose is completely closed.

7. Connect the electrical cable to the nearest

12 V outlet and start the vehicle.

NOTE

Make sure that none of the vehicle's other
12 V sockets are used while the compressor
is running.

WARNING

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle

while the engine is running.

WARNING

Inhaling exhaust fumes could lead to serious

injury. Never leave the engine running in an

enclosed space or a space without sufficient

ventilation.

8. Start the compressor by moving the switch to

the I (On) position.

WARNING

Never stand next to a tire being inflated with

the compressor. If cracks, bulges, etc. form on

the tire, switch off the compressor immedi-

ately. The vehicle should not be driven. Call

roadside assistance to have the vehicle towed

to a workshop for inspection/replacement of

the tire. Volvo recommends an authorized

workshop.

NOTE

When the compressor first starts, air pressure
may 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 compressor
should never be used for more than
10 minutes at a time.

10. Switch off the compressor and check the

inflation pressure using the air pressure
gauge. The inflation pressure should be
between 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), the

hole in the tire may be too large. The vehicle

should not be driven. Call roadside assistance

to have the vehicle towed to a workshop for

inspection/replacement of the tire. Volvo rec-

ommends an authorized workshop.

11. Switch off the compressor and remove the

electrical cable.

12. Unscrew the hose from the tire's valve and

screw the valve cap back on.

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.

13. Put the protective hose cover onto the hose

to help prevent leakage of any residual seal-
ing compound. Return the equipment to the
cargo 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 to
seal the tire, and then recheck the inflation
pressure.

NOTE

During the tire's first revolution, some sealing
compound may spray out of the puncture
hole.

WARNING

Before driving away, make sure that no one is

near the vehicle who could be sprayed with

sealing compound. Make sure no one is

within 2 meters(7 feet) of the vehicle.

15. Rechecking the inflation pressure

Connect the hose to the tire's valve and
screw the hose connector onto the valve as
far as possible. The compressor must be
switched 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 roadside
assistance to have the vehicle towed.

If the inflation pressure is higher than
1.3 bar (19 psi), the tire must be inflated
to the inflation pressure specified on the
tire pressure decal on the driver's side
door pillar (1 bar = 100 kPa = 14.5 psi). If
the inflation pressure is too high, use the
air release valve to release air.

NOTE

Replace the sealing compound bottle and
hose after use. Volvo recommends having
these 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.

Determining the vehicle's permitted

weight

Properly loading your vehicle will provide maxi-
mum return of vehicle design performance.

Weight designations

Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself
with the following terms for determining your
vehicle's weight ratings, with or without a trailer,
from the vehicle's Federal/Canadian Motor Vehi-
cle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label, and
the vehicle's tire information placard:

Curb weight

The weight of the vehicle including a full tank of
fuel and all standard equipment. It does not
include passengers, cargo, or optional equipment.

Capacity weight

All weight added to the curb weight, including
cargo and optional equipment. When towing, tow-
bar weight is also part of cargo weight.

Permissible axle weight

The maximum allowable weight that can be car-
ried by a single axle (front or rear). These num-
bers are shown on the Federal/Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label.
The total load on each axle must never exceed its
maximum permissible weight.

Gross vehicle weight (GVW)

The vehicle's curb weight + cargo + passengers.

Steps for Determining Correct Load
Limit

1. Locate the statement "the combined weight

of occupants and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs." on your vehicle's plac-
ard.

2. Determine the combined weight of the driver

and passengers that will be riding in your
vehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver

and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.

4. The resulting figure equals the available

amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the "XXX" amount equals
1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of availa-
ble cargo and luggage load capacity is 650
lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 × 150) = 650 lbs.)

5. Determine the combined weight of luggage

and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated
in Step 4.

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load

from your trailer will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity of your vehicle.
