Accessing the tire sealing system
The tire sealing system is stowed under the
floor of the trunk. To access it:
1. Lift the floor hatch in the cargo area.
2. Lift out the tire sealing system.
NOTE
•
The tire sealing system is only
intended to seal holes on the tire’s
tread area, not the sidewall.
•
Tires with large holes or tears cannot
be repaired with the tire sealing sys-
tem.
•
After use, stow the tire sealing system
properly to help prevent rattling.
WARNING
•
After using the tire sealing system, the
vehicle should not be driven farther
than approximately 120 miles (200
km).
•
Have the tire inspected by a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician
as soon as possible to determine if it
can be permanently repaired or must
be replaced.
•
The vehicle should not be driven faster
than 50 mph (80 km/h) while using a
tire that has been temporarily repaired
with the tire sealing system.
•
After using the tire sealing system,
drive carefully and avoid abrupt steer-
ing maneuvers and sudden stops.
Tire sealing system–temporarily
repairing a flat tire
Temporarily repairing a flat tire is done in two
stages:
•
Stage 1: The hole is sealed by pumping
sealing compound into the tire. The car is
then driven a short distance to distribute
the sealing compound in the tire.
