wheel nuts are used in combination with wheel
covers, the locking wheel nut should be moun-
ted on the bolt nearest the air valve. Otherwise
the wheel cover cannot be fitted to the rim.
NOTE
Tighten the lockable wheel nuts to 110 Nm.
Spare wheel Temporary Spare*
The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only
intended for use temporarily and must be
replaced by an ordinary wheel as soon as pos-
sible. The car's handling may be altered by the
use of the spare wheel. The spare wheel is
smaller than the normal wheel. The car's
ground clearance is affected accordingly. Pay
attention to high kerbs and do not machine
wash the car. If the spare wheel is fitted on the
front axle, you cannot use snow chains at the
same time. On all-wheel drive cars the drive on
the rear axle can be disconnected. The spare
wheel must not be repaired. The correct tyre
pressure for the spare wheel is stated in the
tyre pressure table, see page 296.
IMPORTANT
Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a spare
wheel on the car.
IMPORTANT
The car must never be driven fitted with
more than one "Temporary Spare" wheel.
Summer and winter wheels
G020325
The arrow shows the tyre's direction of rotation.
When summer and winter wheels are changed,
see page 200, the wheels should be marked
with which side of the car they were mounted
on, for example
L
for left and
R
for right. Tyres
with a tread pattern which are designed to only
turn in one direction have the direction of rota-
tion marked with an arrow.
The tyre must always rotate in the same direc-
tion throughout its lifespan. Tyres should only
be switched between front and rear positions,
never between left and right-hand sides, or
vice versa.
If the tyre is mounted incorrectly, the car's
braking characteristics and capacity to force
rain, snow and slush out of the way are
adversely affected.
Tyres with the greatest tread depth should
always be fitted to the rear of the car (to
decrease the risk of skidding).
Volvo recommends that you contact an author-
ised Volvo workshop for checking if you are
uncertain about tread depth.
