•
Check the tyre pressure when the
tyres are cold. "Cold tyres" means that
the tyres are at the same temperature
as the outdoor temperature. The tyres
will heat up and the tyre pressures will
increase after driving for a few kilome-
tres.
•
Tyre pressures which are too low will
increase fuel consumption, reduce tyre
service life and impair the car's han-
dling. Driving with tyre pressures
which are too low may lead to the
tyres overheating and sustaining dam-
age. Tyre pressures affect ride com-
fort, road noise and steering.
•
Tyre pressure decreases over time,
this is a natural phenomenon. Tyre
pressure also varies depending on
ambient temperature.
Tyre pressure label
G021830
The tyre pressure label on the driver side's
door pillar (between frame and rear door)
shows the tyre pressures for the car's recom-
mended tyre dimensions. This is also speci-
fied in the tyre pressure table, see Tyres -
approved tyre pressures (p. 408).

Tyres - load index
Load index indicates a tyre's ability to carry a
certain load.
Each tyre has a certain capacity to carry a
load, a load index (LI). The car's weight deter-
mines the load capacity required of the tyres.
Minimum permissible index is indicated in the
load index table.

Tyres - speed ratings
Each tyre can withstand a certain maximum
speed and therefore belongs to a particular
speed rating (SS - Speed Symbol).
Tyre speed class must at least correspond
with the car's top speed. Minimum speed rat-
ing is indicated in the speed rating table
below. The only exception to these regula-
tions is the winter tyre (p. 319)
2
, where a
lower speed rating may be used. If such a
tyre is chosen, the car must not be driven
faster than the speed rating of the tyre (for
example, class Q can be driven at a maxi-
mum of 160 km/h). Traffic regulations deter-
mine how fast a car can be driven, not the
speed rating of the tyres.
The maximum permitted speed is speci-
fied in the table.
Q
160 km/h (used only on winter tyres)
T
190 km/h
H
210 km/h
V
240 km/h
W

Y
300 km/h
WARNING
The car must be fitted with tyres which
have the same or a higher load index
(p. 317) (LI) and speed rating (SS) than
specified. If a tyre with too low a load
index or speed rating is used, it may over-
heat.

Wheel bolts
Wheel bolts are used to fasten the wheels at
the hubs and are available in different ver-
sions.
The wheel bolts must be tightened to 140
Nm. Overtightening can damage the nuts
and the bolts.
Only use rims that are tested and approved
by Volvo and which are Volvo genuine acces-
sories. Check the torque with a torque
wrench.

Winter tyres
Winter tyres are tyres that are adapted for
winter road conditions.
Winter tyres
Volvo recommends winter tyres with particu-
lar dimensions. Tyre dimensions are depend-
ent on engine variant. When driving on winter
tyres, the correct type of tyres must be fitted
to all four wheels.
Volvo recommends that you consult a
Volvo dealer about which wheel rim and
tyre types are most suitable.
Studded tyres
Studded winter tyres should be run in gently
for 500-1000 km so the studs settle properly
into the tyres. This gives the tyre, and espe-
cially the studs, a longer service life.
The legal provisions for the use of studded
tyres vary from country to country.
Tread depth
Road conditions with ice, slush and low tem-
peratures place considerably higher demands
on tyres than summer conditions. Volvo
therefore recommends not to drive on winter
tyres that have a tread depth of less than
4 mm.
Using snow chains
Snow chains may only be used on the front
wheels (also applies to all-wheel drive cars).
Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snow
chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as this
wears out both the snow chains and tyres.
WARNING
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiva-
lent chains designed for the car model,
and tyre and rim dimensions. In the event
of uncertainty Volvo recommends that you
consult an authorised Volvo workshop.
The wrong snow chains may cause serious
damage to your car and lead to an acci-
dent.

Spare wheel*
The following instructions only apply if a
spare wheel has been purchased as an
accessory for the car. If the car is not equip-
ped with a spare wheel - see information
about Emergency puncture repair (TMK)
(p. 330).
The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only
intended for use temporarily and must be
replaced by an ordinary wheel as soon as
possible. The car's handling may be altered
by the use of the spare wheel. The spare
wheel is smaller than the normal wheel. The
car's ground clearance is affected accord-
ingly. Pay attention to high kerbs and do not
machine wash the car. If the spare wheel is
fitted on the front axle, you cannot use snow
chains at the same time. On all-wheel drive
cars the drive on the rear axle can be discon-
nected. The spare wheel must not be
repaired.

Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a
spare wheel on the car.
•
The car must never be driven fitted
with more than one "Temporary
Spare" wheel.
The spare wheel is supplied in a bag which
must be secured on the cargo area floor
using straps.
Cars with four load retaining eyelets.
Turn the handle on the spare wheel bag out
towards you. Attach the sewn-in tensioning
strap hooks in the front load retaining eyelets.
Attach the long strap into one of the front
load retaining eyelets, run the strap diagonally
over the spare wheel and through the upper
handle. Tighten the short tensioning strap
onto the long one. Attach the rear load retain-
ing eyelet and tighten.
Before changing a wheel
1. Loosen the straps, lift out the spare wheel
from the cargo area and remove it from
the spare wheel bag.
2. To access the towing eye, open the hatch
on the left-hand side of the cargo area.
3. Take out the jack*, tool to remove the
plastic caps on the wheel bolts and the
wheel wrench* (located in a bag on the

tion, which is indicated on the jack's
label.
•
The decal also indicates the jack's
maximum lift capacity at a specified lift-
ing height.
The car's regular jack is designed only for
use occasionally and for a short time, such
as when changing a wheel with a punc-
tured tyre, switching between summer
tyres and winter tyres, etc. Only the jack
belonging to the specific model is to be
used to jack up the car. If the car is to be
jacked up more often, or for a longer time
than is required just to change a wheel,
use of a garage jack is recommended. In
this instance, follow the instructions for
use that come with the equipment.
4. Set up the warning triangle (p. 323) if a
wheel is replaced in a trafficked location.
The car and jack* must be on a firm hori-
zontal surface.
Removing
1. Apply the parking brake (p. 278) and
engage reverse gear, or position P if the
car has an automatic gearbox.
2. Place chocks in front of and behind the
wheels which will remain on the ground to
prevent them from rolling. Use heavy
wooden blocks or large stones for exam-
ple.
3. Screw together the towing eye with the
wheel wrench* until the stop position in
accordance with the following figure.
The towing eye must be screwed into all
threads in the wheel bolt wrench.
4. Remove the plastic caps from the wheel
bolts with the intended tool.
5. Loosen the wheel bolts ½-1 turn anti-
clockwise with the wheel wrench.
WARNING
Never position anything between the
ground and the jack, nor between the jack
and the car's jacking point.
6. There are two jacking points on each side
of the car. There is a recess in the plastic
cover at each point. Crank the foot of the
jack down so it is pressed squarely on the
ground.
The ground must be firm, smooth and
level.
7. Lift the car so that the wheel is free.

Clearing warning messages
If a tyre pressure message has been shown
and the TPMS warning lamp has been illumi-
nated:
1. Check the tyre pressure on the indicated
tyre/tyres with a tyre pressure gauge.
2. Inflate the tyre/tyres to the correct pres-
sure in accordance with the tyre pressure
label on the driver's side door pillar
(between front and rear doors).
3. In some cases it may be necessary to
drive the car for a few minutes at a speed
above 30 km/h in order to clear the warn-
ing text. At which point, the TPMS warn-
ing lamp is extinguished as well.
•
The TPMS system uses a so-called
compensated pressure value, based
on both tyre temperature and ambient
temperature. This means that the tyre
pressure may differ slightly from the
recommended pressures listed on the
tyre pressure label on the driver's side
door pillar (between front and rear
doors). For this reason, it may be nec-
essary to inflate the tyres to a slightly
higher pressure in order to clear a low
tyre pressure message.
•
To avoid incorrect tyre pressure, the
pressure should be checked on cold
tyres. "Cold tyres" means the tyres are
the same temperature as the ambient
temperature (approx. 3 hours after the
car has been driven). After a few kilo-
metres of driving, the tyres warm up
and the pressure increases.
WARNING
•
Incorrect tyre pressure may lead to
tyre failure, which could result in the
driver losing control of the car.
•
The system cannot indicate sudden
tyre damage in advance.

Emergency puncture repair
Emergency puncture repair, where the emer-
gency puncture repair kit (TMK - Temporary
Mobility Kit) is used to seal a puncture and
check and adjust the tyre pressure (p. 408).
The emergency puncture repair kit (p. 332)
consists of a compressor and a bottle of seal-
ant. The sealing works as a temporary repair.
The sealing fluid bottle must be replaced
before its expiration date and after use. The
sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punctured
in the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture
in the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
capacity to seal tyres which have punctures
