Changing a wheel – spare wheel
Wheel changes should always be carried out
correctly.
Spare tire
The spare tire in your vehicle
2
is called a
"Temporary Spare".
Recommended tire pressure (see the placard
on the B-pillar or on the fuel filler door) should
be maintained 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
temporary replacement for a punctured
tire. It must be replaced as soon as possi-
ble by a standard tire. Road holding and
handling may be affected with the "Tem-
porary 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 vehi-
cle. The use of different size wheels can
seriously damage your car's transmission.
Spare wheel
The spare wheel is only intended for tempo-
rary use. Replace it with a normal wheel as
soon as possible. The car's handling may be
altered by the use of the spare wheel. The
correct tire pressure for the spare wheel is
stated in the tire pressure table, see Tire infla-
tion – pressure table (p. 300) and in the tire
inflation placard on the driver's side door
jamb at the rear of the driver's door opening.
WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the
“Temporary Spare” tire other than as a
temporary replacement for a punctured
tire. It must be replaced as soon as possi-
ble by a standard tire. Road holding and
handling may be affected with the “Tem-
porary Spare” in use.
CAUTION
The vehicle must never be driven with
more than one temporary spare wheel.
The spare wheel is located in the spare wheel
well with the rim side down. There are two
foam blocks, one under the spare wheel and
one over/inside. The upper one contains all
tools.
The same bolt runs through to secure the
spare wheel and the foam blocks.
