2003 VOLVO XC90
CAUTION
- The vehicle must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than
the one that came with the vehicle. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your
vehicle's transmission.
- Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed.
- The wheel bolts should never be greased or lubricated.
- Extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with steel rims, as they make it impossible to fit
the hub caps.

Attaching the jack
●
Position the jack correctly on the bar in the attachment (see illustration above) and crank while
simultaneously guiding the base of the jack to the ground. The base of the jack must be flat on a level,
firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the vehicle, check that the jack is still correctly positioned in
the attachment.
●
Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be changed is lifted off the ground.
●
Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the threads
on the studs.
NOTE: To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in the same
location and position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped
with a guide stud to ensure that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its original position (as when
changing over to winter tires/wheels).
Installing the wheel
●
Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub.
