Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.

Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to
tire failure, resulting in a loss of control of
the vehicle.
•
Tire monitoring systems cannot indicate
sudden tire damage caused by external
factors (e.g., a blowout) in advance.

Tire sealing system
*
– general
information
The vehicle is equipped with a tire sealing sys-
tem that enables you to temporarily seal a hole in
the tread surface and re-inflate a flat tire, or to
adjust a tire’s inflation pressure.
Introduction
The tire sealing system consists of an air com-
pressor, a container for the sealing compound,
wiring to connect the system to the vehicle’s
electrical system via one of the 12-volt sockets,
and a hose used to connect the system to the
tire’s inflation valve.
NOTE
The tire sealing system's compressor has
been tested and approved by Volvo.
The 12-volt sockets are located in the front tun-
nel console, on the rear side of the center con-
sole in the rear seat and in the cargo area
*
.
Accessing the tire sealing system
The tire sealing system is stowed under the floor
of the cargo area. 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 system.
•
After use, stow the tire sealing system
properly to help prevent rattling.
