Wheel bolts
Wheel bolts are used to attach the wheels to
the hubs.
Only use rims that are tested and approved by
Volvo and which are Volvo genuine accesso-
ries.
Check the tightening torque of the wheel bolts
with a torque wrench.
Do not use lubricant on the threads of the
wheel bolts.
WARNING
The wheel bolts may need to be re-tight-
ened several days after the change. Tem-
perature differences and vibration may
mean that they are not attached equally as
tightly.
IMPORTANT
The wheel bolts must be tightened to
140 Nm. (103 foot-pound). Overtightening
or loose tightening may damage the nuts
and the bolts.
Locking wheel bolts*
In the foam block under the cargo area floor
there is space for the sleeve for the lockable
wheel bolts.
