Spare wheel*

The following instructions are applicable

only if a spare wheel has been purchased as

an optional extra with the car. If the car does

not have a spare wheel, see page 321 for infor-

mation on temporary tyre sealing (TMK).

The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only

intended for use temporarily and must be

replaced by an ordinary wheel as soon as pos-

sible. 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 accordingly. 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 disconnected. The spare

wheel must not be repaired. The correct tyre

pressure for the spare wheel is stated in the

tyre pressure table, see page 388.

IMPORTANT

Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a spare

wheel on the car.

IMPORTANT

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 placed on the cargo area floor in the

cargo area and be secured with straps.

Cars with two load retaining eyelets.

Turn the handle on the spare wheel bag in

towards the rear seat. Attach the sewn-in ten-

sioning strap hooks in the load retaining eye-

lets. Attach the long strap into one of the load

retaining eyelets, run the strap around the

spare wheel and through the lower handle.

Tighten the short tensioning strap onto the long

one. Attach the second load retaining eyelet

and tighten.

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 retaining eyelet and

tighten.

Taking out the spare wheel

1. Loosen the straps, lift out the spare wheel

from the cargo area and remove it from the

spare wheel bag.

2. Fold up the cargo area floor.

3. Lift the tools and jack out from the foam

Removing

Set up the warning triangle, see page 318 if a

wheel must be replaced at a busy location. The

car and jack* must be on a firm horizontal sur-

face.

1. Apply the parking brake and engage

reverse gear, or position P if the car has an

automatic gearbox.

WARNING

Check that the jack is not damaged, that the

threads are thoroughly lubricated and that it

is free from dirt.

NOTE

Volvo recommends only using the jack* that

belongs to the car model in question, which

is indicated on the jack's label.

The label also indicates the jack's maximum

lift capacity at a specified minimum lifting

height.

2. Take out the jack*, wheel wrench* and

removal tool for wheel covers* located

under the cargo floor in the cargo area. If

another jack is selected, see page 328.

3. Place chocks in front of and behind the

wheels which will remain on the ground.

Use heavy wooden blocks or large stones

for example.

4. Cars with steel rims have removable wheel

covers. Use the removal tool to hook in and

pull off any full-wheel wheel covers. Alter-

natively, the wheel covers can be pulled

away by hand.

5. Screw together the towing eye with the

wheel wrench* until the stop position as

illustrated below.

IMPORTANT

The towing eye must be screwed into all

threads in the wheel bolt wrench.

6. 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.

7. 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.

IMPORTANT

The ground must be firm, smooth and level.

8. Lift the car so that the wheel is free.

Remove the wheel bolts and lift off the

wheel.

Installation

1. Clean the contact surfaces between wheel

and hub.

2. Put on the wheel. Tighten the wheel bolts

thoroughly.

3. Lower the car so that the wheels cannot

rotate.

4. Tighten the wheel bolts crosswise. It is

important that the wheel bolts are tight-

ened properly. Tighten to 140 Nm. Check

the torque with a torque wrench.

5. Refit any full wheel covers.

NOTE

The wheel cover outlet for the valve must be

positioned over the valve on the wheel rim

during fitting.

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.

Park the car so that passengers have the car

- or preferably a crash barrier - between

them and the road.

NOTE

The car's regular jack is designed only for

use occasionally and for a short time, such

as when changing a wheel with a punctured

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.
