with the lock screw.

Spare wheel*

WARNING

The spare wheel, the Temporary Spare type,

can be used to temporarily replace a punc-

tured normal wheel.

The spare wheel is only designed for tempo-

rary use. Replace it with a normal wheel as

soon as possible.

Never drive faster than 80 km/h

(50 mph) with a spare wheel fitted on

the car.

•

IMPORTANT

Remember not to use bending force when

you loosen/tighten the wheel bolts. This

could damage the code groove in the lock

bolt and the wheel wrench and so make it

impossible to fit/remove the wheel.

The car must never be driven fitted

with more than one "Temporary Spare"

wheel.

The car's driving characteristics can be

changed when the spare wheel is used and

the ground clearance is reduced. Do not wash

the car in an automatic car wash if the

Temporary Spare is being used.

The car may have different driving cha-

racteristics while driving with the spare

wheel. The spare wheel must be

replaced with a normal wheel as soon

as possible.

When the wheel wrench is not in use it must

be stored in its place in the foam block under

the cargo area floor. It is important to remem-

ber this if the car is due to visit a workshop in

order to have the tool available. If you lose the

wrench, contact your Volvo dealer.

Recommended tyre pressure must be main-

tained regardless of the position of the tempo-

rary spare wheel on the car.

The spare wheel is smaller than the

normal wheel, which affects the car's

ground clearance. Look out for high

kerbs and do not machine-wash the

car.

•

If the spare wheel is damaged, a new one can

be purchased from a Volvo dealer.

1. Screw back the mounting screw that held

the spare wheel in place.

Winter tyres

Winter tyres are adapted for winter road con-

ditions.

Changing wheel (p. 549)

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.

IMPORTANT

Do not attempt to unscrew the lower part

of the mounting screw if it is secured in the

body. There is a risk it may break.

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.

If the lower attachment of the mounting

screw does loosen from the body under-

neath the spare wheel, refit it in the hole

and turn clockwise to reattach it.

Contact a Volvo dealer for advice on which rim

and tyre type suit your car best.

WARNING

For cars with 48V battery, the screw is

attached in the battery box instead of the

body. If the lower part of the mounting

screw remains fitted when the spare wheel

has been removed, it should be removed to

avoid risk of crushing when the damaged

tyre is put back in place.

Studded tyres

Studded winter tyres should be run in gently

for 500-1000 km (300-600 miles), so the

studs settle properly into the tyres. This gives

the tyre, and especially the studs, a longer

service life.

2. Put the tools back in their right place in

the foam block.

NOTE

Laws regarding the use of studded tyres

may vary. Always follow local laws and

regulations.

3. Then fold down the cargo area floor and

place the punctured tyre in the cargo area.
