1. Detach the label for maximum permitted

speed (which is fitted on one side of the

compressor) and affix it to the steering

wheel.

WARNING

You should not drive faster than 80 km/h

after the emergency tyre repair kit has

been used. Volvo recommends that you

visit an authorised Volvo workshop for

inspection of the sealed tyre (maximum

driving distance is 200 km). The staff there

can determine whether or not the tyre can

be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.

WARNING

The sealing fluid can irritate the skin. In the

case of contact with skin, wash away the

fluid with soap and water.

2. Check that the switch is in position 0 and

locate the cable and the air hose.

Do not break the bottle's seal before use.

The seal is broken automatically when the

bottle is screwed in.

3. Unscrew the orange cap and unscrew the

bottle's stopper.

4. Screw the bottle into its holder.

WARNING

Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped

with a reverse catch to prevent leakage.

5. Remove the valve cover

Take the torx wrench (which is fitted in the

foam block behind the panel on the left-

hand side of the cargo area).
Press the torx wrench into the hole.
Prize off the cover using the torx wrench

(A).

Unscrew the valve cap and disconnect

the hose from the compressor to the

valve.

6. Connect the hose from the compressor to

the valve.

7. Plug the cable into the 12 V socket and

start the car.

If the compressor is connected to one of

the two 12 V sockets in the tunnel console

then no other current consumer may be

connected to the other one.

WARNING

Do not leave children in the car without

supervision when the engine is running.

8. Flick the switch to position I.

WARNING

Never stand next to the tyre when the

compressor is running. If cracks or

unevenness arise then the compressor

must be switched off immediately. The

journey should not be continued. Contact-

ing an authorised tyre centre is recom-

mended.

When the compressor starts, the pressure

can increase up to 6 bar but the pressure

drops after approximately 30 seconds.

9. Inflate the tyre for 7 minutes.

Risk of overheating. The compressor must

not run for more than 10 minutes.

10. Switch off the compressor to check the

pressure on the pressure gauge. Mini-

mum pressure is 1.8 bar and maximum

3.5 bar. (Release air with the pressure

reducing valve if the tyre pressure is too

high.)

WARNING

If the pressure is below 1.8 bar then the

hole in the tyre is too big. The journey

should not be continued. Contacting an

authorised tyre centre is recommended.

11. Switch off the compressor and unplug the

cable from the 12 V socket.

12. Detach the hose from the tyre valve and

fit the valve cap.

Press the cover

back over the tyre valve

with the hole against the wheel's hub.

Two clicks confirm that the cover is fitted

in place.

13. As soon as possible, drive approximately

3 km at a maximum speed of 80 km/h so

that the sealing fluid can seal the tyre.

1. Reconnect the equipment (for instructions

on removing the valve cover, see

(p. 333)).

2. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure

gauge.

•

If it is below 1.3 bar

then the tyre is

insufficiently sealed. The journey

should not be continued. Contact a

tyre centre.

•

If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3
bar

, the tyre must be inflated to the

pressure specified in accordance with

the tyre pressure table, see Tyres -

approved tyre pressures (p. 408).

Release air using the pressure reduc-

ing valve if the tyre pressure is too

high.

WARNING

Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped

with a reverse catch to prevent leakage.

3. Make sure the compressor is switched

off. Detach the air hose and cable.

4. Refit the valve cover

Fit the valve cap.
Press one edge of the cover (without the

hole) into place (nearest the tyre - B).

Then fold the cover in toward the wheel

rim - and at the same time, gently press

down the angled top edge in order to

help it in under the edge of the wheel rim.

Check that the cover is flush with the sur-

face of the wheel rim - if not, gently press

in the part that is bulging out.

•

After a tyre has been inflated, always

refit the dust cap in order to avoid

damage to the valve from gravel, dirt,

etc.

•

Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust

caps can rust and become difficult to

unscrew.

The sealing fluid bottle and the hose must

be replaced after use. Volvo recommends

that this replacement is performed by an

authorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

Check the tyre pressure regularly.

Volvo recommends that you drive to the near-

est authorised Volvo workshop for the

replacement/repair of the damaged tyre.

Advise the workshop that the tyre contains

sealing fluid.

WARNING

You should not drive faster than 80 km/h

after the emergency tyre repair kit has

been used. Volvo recommends that you

visit an authorised Volvo workshop for

inspection of the sealed tyre (maximum

driving distance is 200 km). The staff there

can determine whether or not the tyre can

Raising the car

When raising the car it is important that the

jack or lifting arms are fitted in the intended

points on the car's underbody.

Changing wheels - removing wheels

Volvo recommends only using the jack that

belongs to the car model in question. If a

jack is selected other than the one recom-

mended by Volvo, follow the instructions

supplied with the equipment.

10 Maintenance and service

349

Jacking points (arrows) for the jack that belongs to the car and lifting points (marked in red).

If the car is raised with a front workshop jack

then this must be positioned under one of the

four lifting points furthest in under the car. If

the car is raised with a rear workshop jack

then it must be positioned under one of the

lifting points. Ensure that the workshop jack

is positioned so that the car cannot slide off

the jack. Always use axle stands or similar.
If the car is raised with a two-pillar workshop

lift then the front and rear lifting arms can be

positioned under the outer lifting points (jack-

ing points). Alternatively, the inner lifting

points can be used at the front.

Engine oil - general

An approved engine oil must be used in order

that the recommended service intervals can

be applied.

Volvo recommends:

When driving under adverse conditions, see

Engine oil - adverse driving conditions

(p. 400).

higher grade; see Engine oil - adverse driving

In order to fulfil the requirements for the

engine's service intervals all engines are

filled with a specially adapted synthetic

engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil

has been made very carefully with regard

to service life, starting characteristics, fuel

consumption and environmental impact.
An approved engine oil must be used in

order that the recommended service inter-

vals can be applied. Only use a prescribed

grade of oil for both filling and oil change,

otherwise you will risk affecting service life,

starting characteristics, fuel consumption

and environmental impact.
Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war-

ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed

grade and viscosity is not used.
Volvo recommends that oil changes are

carried out at an authorised Volvo work-

shop.

Volvo uses different systems for warning of

low/high oil level or low oil pressure. Certain

engine variants have an oil pressure sensor,

and then the combined instrument panel's

warning symbol for low oil pressure is used.

Other variants have an oil level sensor, when

the driver is informed via the instrument's
warning symbol

and display texts. Cer-

tain variants have both systems. Contact a

Volvo dealer for more information.
Change the engine oil and oil filter in accord-

ance with the intervals specified in the Serv-

ice and Warranty Booklet.
Using oil of a higher than specified grade is

permitted. If the car is driven in adverse con-

ditions, Volvo recommends using an oil of a
