in the foam block.

Tool for removing the plastic caps on the wheel bolts.

The normal car jack is only designed for occa-
sional, short-term use, such as when chang-
ing a wheel after a puncture, changing to win-
ter/summer wheels, etc. Only the jack for the
specific car model may be used to raise 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 rec-
ommended. In this instance, follow the
instructions for use that come with the equip-
ment.

4. 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 example.

5. Screw together the towing eye with the

wheel wrench

* to the stop position.

The towing eye must be screwed all the way
into the wheel bolt wrench

6. Remove the plastic caps from the wheel

bolts with the intended tool.

7. Loosen the wheel bolts ½-1 turn anticlock-

wise with the wheel wrench

WARNING

Never position anything between the ground

and the jack, nor between the jack and the

car's jacking point.

The ground must be firm, smooth and level.

8. When raising the car, it is important that the

jack

* or lifting arms are fitted in the intended

points on the car's underbody. The triangle
markings in the plastic cover indicate the
locations of the jacking/lifting points. There
are two jacking points on each side of the
car. There is a recess for the jack at each
point.

Crank up the jack

* so that it makes contact

with the car's jacking point. Check that the
head of the jack is correctly positioned in the
jacking point so that the bump in the centre
of the head fits into the jacking point hole
and the base is positioned vertically below
the jacking point. Also make sure you turn
the jack so that the crank is as far away from
the side of the car as possible, at which point
the jack's arms are perpendicular to the
direction of the car.

WARNING

Never crawl under the car when it is raised on

the jack.
Passengers must leave the car when it is

raised on the jack. If a wheel must be

changed in a trafficked environment, passen-

gers must stand in a safe place.

9. Lift the car so that the wheel is free. Remove

the wheel bolts and lift off the wheel.

Spare wheel

The spare wheel, the Temporary spare type, can
be used to temporarily replace a punctured nor-
mal wheel.

The car's handling may be altered by the use of
the spare wheel. The spare wheel must be
replaced by a normal wheel as soon as possible.

The spare wheel is smaller than the regular
wheel, which will affect the car's ground clear-
ance. Pay attention to high kerbs and do not
machine wash the car.

•

Follow the manufacturer's recommended tyre
pressure for the spare wheel.

•

On all-wheel drive cars the drive on the rear
axle can be disconnected.

•

If the spare wheel is fitted on the front axle, it
is not possible to use snow chains at the
same time.

•

The spare wheel must not be repaired.

Removing a wheel (p. 536)

•

Never drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph) with a spare wheel on the car.

•

The car must never be driven fitted with
more than one "Temporary Spare" wheel.

WHEELS AND TYRES

* Option/accessory.

539

The spare wheel is stored in a bag and must be
secured with two straps on the floor of the cargo
area during driving.
The straps must be tensioned crosswise over the
wheel and attached in the car's four load retain-
ing eyelets.

Check the tyre pressure in the spare wheel regu-
larly as well.

Tools for changing a wheel are stored under the
cargo area floor, see the section "Tool kit".

Winter wheels

Winter wheels are adapted for winter road con-
ditions.

Volvo recommends winter tyres with particular
dimensions. Tyre dimensions are dependent on
engine variant. When driving on winter tyres, the
correct type of tyres must be fitted to all four
wheels.

Contact a Volvo dealer for advice about which
wheel rim and type of tyre are most suitable.

Tips for changing to winter tyres

When summer and winter wheels are changed,
mark which side of the car they were mounted
on, for example L for left and R for right.

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 especially 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 tempera-
tures place considerably higher demands on tyres
than summer conditions. Volvo therefore recom-
mends not to drive on winter tyres that have a
tread depth of less than 4 mm.

Snow chains

Volvo recommends that snow chains are not
used on wheel dimensions greater than
18 inches.

Mounting instructions are supplied with Volvo
original 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 (30 mph) 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 equivalent

chains designed for the car model, and tyre

and rim dimensions. Only single-sided snow

chains are permitted.
In the event of uncertainty about the show

chain, Volvo recommends that an authorised

Volvo workshop should be contacted. The

wrong snow chains may cause serious dam-

age to the car and lead to an accident.

wheel or when changing between summer and
winter wheels. The jack's thread must always be
well greased.

The tools and jack

* must be stored in the

intended location in the car's cargo area
when not in use.

Speed rating

Each tyre can withstand a certain maximum
speed. Tyre speed rating, SS (Speed Symbol),
must at least correspond with the car's top
speed. The table below shows the maximum per-
mitted speed for each speed rating (SS). The
only exception to these regulations is winter
tyres

, 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 maximum of
160 km/h (100 mph).) The top speed at which
the car can be driven depends on road condi-
tions, not the speed rating of the tyres.

The maximum permitted speed is specified in
the table.

160 km/h (100 mph) (used only on win-
ter tyres)

is selected other than the one recommended
by Volvo, follow the instructions supplied with
the equipment.

The normal car jack is only designed for occa-
sional, short-term use, such as when chang-
ing a wheel after a puncture. 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.

The triangles in the plastic cover indicate the locations of the lifting points (marked in red).

If the car is raised with a workshop jack, it must
be positioned under one of the four lifting points.
Ensure that the workshop jack is positioned so
that the car cannot slide off the jack. Make sure
the jack plate is equipped with a rubber pad so
that the car will be stable and not be damaged.
Always use axle stands or similar.
