Changing Wheels - Removing Wheels - Volvo XC60 Owner's Manual

Changing wheels - removing wheels

The car's wheels can be changed for e.g. winter
wheels/winter tyres.
Spare wheel*
The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only
intended for use temporarily and must be
replaced by an ordinary wheel as soon as possi-
ble. The car's handling may be altered by the use
of the spare wheel. The spare wheel is smaller
than the normal wheel. The car's ground clear-
ance is affected accordingly. Pay attention to
high kerbs and do not machine wash the car. If
the spare wheel is fitted on the front axle, you
cannot use snow chains at the same time. On all-
wheel drive cars the drive on the rear axle can be
disconnected. The spare wheel must not be
repaired.
The correct tyre pressure for the spare wheel is
stated in the tyre pressure table (p. 421).
IMPORTANT
•
Never drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph) with a spare wheel on the car.
•
The car must never be driven fitted with
more than one "Temporary Spare" wheel.
The spare wheel is located in the spare wheel
well with the outside down. The same bolt runs
through to secure the spare wheel and the foam
block. The foam block contains all the tools nee-
ded to change the wheels.
Taking out the spare wheel under the
cargo area floor
1. Fold up the cargo area floor, from the rear
and forwards.
2. Undo the retaining screw.
3. Lift out the foam block with its tools.
4. Lift out the spare wheel.
Removing
Set up warning triangle (p. 334) if a wheel is
replaced in trafficked location. The car and jack*
must be on a firm horizontal surface.
1. Apply the parking brake, (p. 299) and
engage reverse gear, or position P if the car
has an automatic gearbox.

indicated on the jack's label.
The label also indicates the jack's maximum
lift capacity at a specified minimum lifting
height.
