Installing A Wheel - Volvo S90 2019 Owner's Manual

WHEELS AND TIRES

Installing a wheel

Wheel changes must always be carried out
correctly. The following instructions show
how to install a wheel and what is important
to keep in mind.
CAUTION
When not in use, the jack* should be
•
kept in its storage compartment under
the cargo compartment floor.
The jack provided with your vehicle is
•
intended to be used only in temporary
situations such as changing wheels in
the event of a flat tire. Only the jack
that came with your particular model
should be used to lift the vehicle. If the
vehicle needs to be lifted more fre-
quently or for a prolonged period, using
a garage jack or hoist is recommended.
Always follow this device's instructions
for use.

WARNING
Apply the parking brake and put the
•
gear selector in the Park (P) position.
Block the wheels standing on the
•
ground, use rigid wooden blocks or
large stones.
Check that the jack is not damaged,
•
the threads are properly lubricated and
it is free from dirt.
Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-
•
slippery surface and that it is upright
and not leaning.
The jack must correctly engage in the
•
jack attachment.
No objects should be placed between
•
the base of the jack and the ground, or
between the jack and the attachment
bar on the vehicle.
Never let anyone remain in the vehicle
•
when it is raised on a jack.
If a tire must be changed near passing
•
traffic, make sure all passengers move
to a safe location.
Use a jack intended for the vehicle
•
when changing a tire. For any other
job, use stands to support the vehicle.
Never crawl under or allow any part of
•
your body to be extended under a vehi-
cle supported by a jack.
The vehicle must be raised high enough so
that the wheel you are removing can turn
freely.
1. Clean the contact surfaces between the
wheel and the wheel hub.
2. Lift the wheel into place. Tighten the
wheel bolts securely.
Do not grease the wheel bolt threads.
3. Lower the vehicle so that the wheel can-
not rotate.
