the wheels, make sure that the same wheels are always on the same side of the car.
Tire chains can only be used on the rear wheels if the chains do not project too far from the tire and
chafe against the brake caliper or other components.
Strap-on emergency chains must not be used since the clearance between the brake caliper and the
wheel rim is inadequate.
WARNING!
Special wheel rims for air dams
Only special wheel rims, tested and approved by Volvo, are suitable for use with the air dam installed
on the 740.

Checking and correcting tire pressure
Check the tire pressure when refueling. The tire pressure should be corrected only when the tires are
cold. With warm tires, correct only when the pressure is too low. The tire temperature rises after driving
just a few miles.
Vehicle Loading
The tires on your Volvo will perform to specifications at all normal loads when inflated as
recommended on the tire information label located on the rear facing side on the right front door. This
label lists both tire and vehicle design limits.
Do not load your car beyond the load limits indicated.
