WHEELS AND TYRES
* Option/accessory. 580
WARNING
The wheel bolts may need to be re-tightened
several days after the change. Temperature
differences and vibration may mean that they
are not attached equally as tightly.
NOTE
•
After a tyre has been inflated, always refit
the dust cap in order to avoid damage to
the valve from gravel, dirt, etc.
•
Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust
caps can rust and become difficult to
unscrew.

Spare wheel
*
The spare wheel, the Temporary Spare type, can
be used to temporarily replace a punctured nor-
mal wheel.
The spare tyre is only designed for temporary
use. Replace it with a normal wheel as soon as
possible.
The car's driving characteristics can be changed
when the spare wheel is used and the ground
clearance is reduced. Do not wash the car in an
automatic car wash if the Temporary Spare is
being used.
Recommended tyre pressure must be maintained
regardless of the position of the temporary spare
wheel on the car.
If the spare tyre is damaged then a new one can
be purchased from a Volvo dealer.
WARNING
•
Never drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph) with a spare wheel fitted on the
car.
•
The car must never be driven fitted with
more than one "Temporary Spare" wheel.
•
The car may have different driving charac-
teristics while driving with the spare
wheel. The spare wheel must be replaced
with a normal wheel as soon as possible.
•
The spare wheel is smaller than the nor-
mal wheel, which affects the car's ground
clearance. Look out for high kerbs and do
not machine-wash the car.
•
Follow the manufacturer's recommended
tyre pressure for the spare wheel.
•
On all-wheel drive cars, the drive on the
rear axle can be disengaged.
•
If the spare wheel is fitted to the front
axle then it is not possible to use snow
chains at the same time.
•
The spare wheel must not be repaired.
