Wheels and tyres
Removing wheels
chocks on either side of the wheels
remaining on the ground - use stones or
wooden blocks.
– Take out the jack, wheelbrace and crank,
see location page 144.
– Use the wheelbrace to loose the wheel
bolts ½-1 turn. Turn anticlockwise.
WARNING!
Never crawl under the car when it is raised
on a jack! The car could fall, causing
injuries.
The car’s original jack should only be used
when changing wheels. All other work on
the car should be done using workshop
jacks and axle stands under the part of the
car that is raised.
The jack screw should be kept well lubri-
cated.
If the surface is too soft, the jack could
slide to the side and the car could fall. No
one should be in the car when the wheel
is being changed.
The jacking points are centred under the
bottom of the doors.
WARNING!
Removing wheels
Check that the right attachment points are
being used. A production anchorage with
pin is located between the jacking points.
This is not strong enough to use to lift the
car. If you are unsure about the location of
the jacking points, contact your Volvo
workshop. An incorrectly fitted jack could
damage the door and body.
Remember to set out the warning triangle if
you must change a wheel in a trafficked area.
There are two jacking points on each side of
the car, centred under the bottom of the
doors.
– Park the car on an even, firm surface with
no incline.
– Apply the parking brake and engage 1st
gear (manual gearbox) or move the gear
selector to P (automatic gearbox). Place
