Emergency puncture repair

General
The emergency puncture repair kit is used to
seal the puncture and to check and adjust
the tyre pressure. It consists of a compressor
and a bottle with sealing fluid. The kit works
as a temporary repair. The sealing fluid bottle
must be replaced before its expiration date
and after use.
The sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punc-
tured in the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has lim-
ited capacity to seal tyres which have punc-
tures in the wall. Do not seal tyres with the
emergency puncture repair kit if they have
larger slits, cracks or similar damage.
12 V sockets for the compressor are located
by the centre console in the front, by the rear
seat and in the cargo area. Choose the elec-
trical socket that is nearest the punctured
tyre.
Location
The emergency puncture repair kit, with
compressor and tools, is located in the tun-
nel for the ski compartment, see page 92.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture in
the tread.
WARNING
You must not drive faster than 80 km/h after
the emergency tyre repair kit has been
used. Contact an authorised Volvo work-
shop for inspection of the sealed tyre (maxi-
mum driving distance is 200 km). The staff
there can determine whether or not the tyre
can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.
