Emergency Puncture Repair* - Rechecking - Volvo XC60 Owner's Manual

Emergency puncture repair* -
rechecking
When a tyre has been sealed with the emer-
gency puncture repair kit, Temporary Mobility Kit
(TMK), a subsequent check must be made after
approx. 3 kilometres of driving.
Check tyre pressure
Take out the tyre sealing equipment. The com-
pressor must be switched off.
1. Unscrew the tyre's dust cap.
Take out the air hose and screw in the
valve connection to the bottom of the thread
on the tyre's air valve.
2. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure
gauge.
•
If the tyre pressure is below 1.3 bar
the tyre is insufficiently sealed. The jour-
ney should not be continued. Contact a
tyre centre.
•
If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3 bar
the tyre must be inflated to the pressure
specified in accordance with the tyre
pressure table, see Tyres - approved tyre
pressures (p. 421).
•
Release air using the pressure reducing
valve if the tyre pressure is too high.
1 bar = 100 kPa.

3. If the tyre needs to be inflated:

12 V socket and start the car.
2. Start the compressor and inflate the tyre
to the pressure specified in accordance
with the tyre pressure table.
3. Switch off the compressor.
4. Remove the tyre sealing equipment, fit the
protective cap on the air hose and fold the
hose in the box.

unscrew.
WHEELS AND TYRES
NOTE
The sealing fluid bottle and the hose must be
replaced after use. Volvo recommends that
this replacement is performed by an author-
ised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Check the tyre pressure regularly.
Volvo recommends that the car is driven to the
nearest authorised Volvo workshop for the
replacement/repair of the damaged tyre. Advise
the workshop that the tyre contains sealing fluid.
WARNING
You should not drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph) after the emergency tyre repair kit
has been used. Volvo recommends a visit to
an authorised Volvo workshop for inspection
of the sealed tyre (maximum driving distance
is 200 km). The staff there can determine
whether or not the tyre can be repaired or if it
needs to be replaced.
