WHEELS AND TIRES

Spare wheel

The spare wheel is a Temporary Spare and
can be used to temporarily replace a punc-
tured tire on one of the vehicle's regular
wheels.
The spare tire is only intended for temporary
use. Replace it with a normal wheel as soon as
possible.
The driving characteristics of the vehicle
change and ground clearance reduces when
the spare wheel is used. Do not wash the vehi-
cle in an automatic car wash while using the
Temporary Spare.
The recommended tire pressure must be
maintained regardless of at which position the
temporary spare wheel is used on the vehicle.
If the spare wheel is damaged, a new one can
be purchased from a Volvo retailer.
WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the
"Temporary Spare" tire other than as a
temporary replacement for a punctured
tire. It must be replaced as soon as possi-
ble by a standard tire. Road holding and
handling may be affected with the "Tempo-
rary Spare" in use. Do not drive faster than
80 km/h (50 mph).
* Option/accessory.
