First aid kit*
The first aid box contains first aid equipment.
A case containing first aid equipment is
located on the left-hand side of the cargo
area.
Emergency puncture repair*
Emergency puncture repair, the emergency
puncture repair kit* (TMK - Temporary Mobi-
lity Kit), is used to seal a puncture and check
and adjust the air pressure.
The emergency puncture repair kit consists of
a compressor and a bottle of sealant. The
sealing 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 punctured in the
tread.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture
in the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
capacity to seal tyres which have punctures
in the wall. Do not seal tyres with the emer-
gency puncture repair kit if they have larger
slits, cracks or similar damage. Connect the
compressor to one of the car's 12 V sockets.
Choose the socket that is nearest to the
punctured tyre.
NOTE
The compressor for temporary emergency
puncture repair has been tested and
approved by Volvo.
