CAUTION
•
When not in use, the jack
*
should be kept
in its storage compartment under the
cargo compartment floor.
•
The jack provided with your vehicle is
intended to be used only in temporary sit-
uations such as changing wheels in the
event of a flat tire. Only the jack that
came with your particular model should
be used to lift the vehicle. If the vehicle
needs to be lifted more frequently or for a
prolonged period, using a garage jack or
hoist is recommended. Always follow this
device’s instructions for use.
Models with leveling control
*
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional pneu-
matic suspension, this feature must be turned off
before raising the vehicle with the jack.
To do so, go to
Settings Vehicle
Deactivate Suspension & Leveling Control
in
the center display's Top view.
Spare tire
The spare tire in your vehicle is called a
"Temporary Spare".
NOTE
•
The vehicle should never be driven
faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) when
the spare tire is being used.
•
The spare tire is only intended for tempo-
rary use. Replace it with a normal wheel
as soon as possible.
•
The vehicle's handling may be altered by
the use of the spare tire and ground
clearance will be reduced. Do not wash
the vehicle in an automatic car wash if
the Temporary Spare is being used.
•
Recommended tire pressure (see the
placard on the B-pillar) should be main-
tained irrespective of which position on
the vehicle the temporary spare tire is
used on.
•
In the event of damage to this tire, a new
one can be purchased from your Volvo
retailer.
WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the
"Temporary Spare" tire other than as a tem-
porary replacement for a punctured tire. It
must be replaced as soon as possible by a
standard tire. Road holding and handling may
be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in
use. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
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 car's transmission.
CAUTION
The vehicle must never be driven with more
than one temporary spare wheel.
The spare tire is located under the floor of the
cargo compartment. A retaining bolt holds the
spare tire and foam block containing tools in
place.
