After you're done, remember to remove the towing eye again and return it to its storage location.
13.7. Raising the car
You can raise one wheel off the ground at a time using a jack. Be sure to read all instructions before raising
the car.
Important
It is very important to place the jack on the jacking points or the battery may get damaged.
Recommended or supplied equipment
The instructions for raising the car presume use of a jack recommended or supplied[1] by Volvo.
Only use tools and equipment designed for your car model. Contact a Volvo dealer for tool recommendations.
Volvo recommends an authorised Volvo workshop for tasks not described in the user manual.
A portable jack designed for occasional and limited use is only suitable for short and urgent tasks, such as handling a
puncture. A workshop jack is recommended for frequent or extended use.
Only raise the car using its jacking points.
Other lifting equipment
If using lifting equipment not supplied by Volvo[2], carefully read their instructions before raising the car. Ensure that
the equipment is compatible with the car.
Use additional safety equipment such as axle stands and wheel blocks when applicable.
If you're using a workshop jack, make sure that the jack plate is fitted with a rubber guard to protect the car as well as
ensure that the car remains stable.
