331

1. Set up the warning triangle and activate the

hazard warning lights if a tyre is being sealed
in a trafficked location.

If the puncture was caused by a nail or simi-
lar, allow this to remain in the tyre. It helps to
seal the hole.

2. Detach the label for maximum permitted

speed (which is fitted on one side of the
compressor) and affix it to the steering
wheel. You should not drive faster than
80 km/h (50 mph) after the emergency tyre
repair kit has been used.

3. Check that the switch is in position 0 (Off),

and locate the electrical cable and the air
hose.

4. Unscrew the orange-coloured cap from the

compressor, and unscrew the cork from the
sealing fluid bottle.

Do not break the bottle's seal before use. The
seal is broken automatically when the bottle is
screwed in.

5. Screw in the bottle to the bottom of the bot-

tle holder.
> The bottle and the bottle holder are

equipped with a reverse catch to prevent
sealant leakage. When the bottle is
screwed in it cannot be unscrewed from
the bottle holder again. Bottle removal
must be performed at a workshop, Volvo
recommends an authorised Volvo work-
shop.

WARNING

•

In the event of skin contact with the seal-
ing fluid, it must be washed off immediately
with soap and plenty of water.

•

Sealing fluid that makes contact with an
eye must be rinsed away immediately with
eye wash fluid or with plenty of water. If the
discomfort persists then the eye should be
examined by a doctor.

WARNING

Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped with

a reverse catch to prevent leakage.

6. Unscrew the tyre's dust cap.

Check that the pressure reducing valve on
the air hose is fully screwed on, and screw in
the air hose's valve connection to the bottom
of the thread on the tyre's air valve.

7. Plug the electrical cable into the closest

12 V socket and start the car.

Make sure that none of the other 12 V sock-
ets is in use when the compressor is operat-
ing.

WARNING

Do not leave children in the car without

supervision when the engine is running.

8. Start the compressor by flicking the switch to

position I (On).

WARNING

Never stand next to the tyre when the com-

pressor is running. If cracks or unevenness

arise then the compressor must be switched

off immediately. The journey should not be

continued. Call roadside assistance for recov-

ery to a tyre centre. Volvo recommends an

authorised tyre centre.

When the compressor starts, the pressure
can increase up to 6 bar but the pressure
drops after approximately 30 seconds.

WHEELS AND TYRES

* Option/accessory.

332

9. Inflate the tyre for 7 minutes.

The compressor must not be operated for
longer than 10 minutes - risk of overheating.

10. Switch off the compressor to check the pres-

sure on the pressure gauge. Minimum pres-
sure 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 (22 psi) then

the hole in the tyre is too big. The journey

should not be continued. Call roadside assis-

tance for recovery to a tyre centre. Volvo rec-

ommends an authorised tyre centre.

11. Switch off the compressor and unplug the

electrical cable.

12. Unscrew the air hose from the tyre's air valve

and refit the dust cap on the tyre.

13. Fit the protective cap on the air hose in order

to avoid leakage of the remaining sealing
fluid.

14. As soon as possible, drive at least 3 km at a

maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) so
that the sealing fluid can seal the tyre and
then perform a follow-up check.

Sealant will spurt out of the puncture during
the first few rotations of the tyre.

WARNING

Make sure that nobody is standing near the

car and gets the sealing fluid splashed onto

them when the car is driven away. The dis-

tance should be at least 2 metres (7 feet).

15. Follow-up inspection:

Connect the air hose on the tyre's air valve
again and check the tyre pressure with the
pressure gauge, see Emergency puncture
repair

* - rechecking (p. 332).

Emergency puncture repair* -

rechecking

When a tyre has been sealed with the emer-
gency puncture repair kit, Temporary Mobility Kit
(TMK), a subsequent check must be made after
approx. 3 kilometres of driving.

Check tyre pressure

Take out the tyre sealing equipment. The com-
pressor must be switched off.

1. Unscrew the tyre's dust cap.

Take out the air hose and screw in the
valve connection to the bottom of the thread
on the tyre's air valve.

2. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure

gauge.

•

If the tyre pressure is below 1.3 bar then
the tyre is insufficiently sealed. The jour-
ney should not be continued. Call road-
side assistance for recovery.

•

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 label on the driver side door pil-
lar (1 bar = 100 kPa).

•

Release air using the pressure reducing
valve if the tyre pressure is too high.

1. Plug the electrical cable into the closest

12 V socket and start the car.

2. Start the compressor and inflate the tyre

to the pressure specified on the tyre pres-
sure label on the driver side door pillar.

3. Switch off the compressor.

4. Remove the tyre sealing equipment.

Fit the protective cap on the air hose in order
to avoid leakage of the remaining sealing
fluid.

WARNING

Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped with

a reverse catch to prevent leakage.

5. Refit the dust cap on the tyre.

•

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 author-
ised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

Check the tyre pressure regularly.

Volvo recommends that the car is driven to the
nearest 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

(50 mph) after the emergency tyre repair kit

has been used. Volvo recommends a visit to

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.

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 (p. 322)

Volvo recommends only using the jack that
belongs to the car model in question. If a jack
is selected other than the one recommended
by Volvo, follow the instructions supplied with
the equipment.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

340

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
two 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 posi-
tioned 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 posi-
tioned under the outer lifting points (jacking
points). Alternatively, the inner lifting points can
be used at the front.

When driving under adverse conditions, see
Engine oil - adverse driving conditions (p. 389).

For filling capacities, see Engine oil - grade and
volume (p. 390).

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 intervals can
be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil
for both filling and oil change, otherwise you
will risk affecting service life, starting charac-
teristics, fuel consumption and environmental
impact.

Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all warranty
liability if engine oil of the prescribed grade
and viscosity is not used.

Volvo recommends that oil changes are car-
ried out at an authorised Volvo workshop.

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. Certain variants have

both systems. Contact a Volvo dealer for more
information.

Change the engine oil and oil filter in accordance
with the intervals specified in the Service and
Warranty Booklet.

Using oil of a higher than specified grade is per-
mitted. If the car is driven in adverse conditions,
Volvo recommends using an oil of a higher grade
than the one specified, see Engine oil - adverse
driving conditions (p. 389).

Coolant - level

The coolant cools the internal combustion
engine to the correct operating temperature. The
heat that is transferred from the engine to the
coolant can be used to heat the passenger com-
partment.

Checking the level

The coolant level must lie between the MIN and
MAX marks on the expansion tank. If the cooling
system is not filled sufficiently, excessively high
temperatures could occur, causing a risk of dam-
age to the engine.
