Handling the spare wheel

Follow these instructions for handling the spare
wheel.
The spare wheel is stored in a bag and must be
secured with two straps on the floor of the cargo

WHEELS AND TYRES

Winter tyres

Winter tyres are adapted for winter road condi-
tions.
Volvo recommends winter tyres with particular
dimensions. Tyre dimensions are dependent on
engine variant. When driving on winter tyres, the
correct type of tyres must be fitted to all four
wheels.
NOTE
Contact a Volvo dealer for advice about which
wheel rim and type of tyre are most suitable.
Tips for changing to winter tyres
When summer and winter wheels are changed,
mark which side of the car they were mounted
on, for example L for left and R for right.
Studded tyres
Studded winter tyres should be run in gently for
500-1000 km (300-600 miles), so the studs
settle properly into the tyres. This gives the tyre,
and especially the studs, a longer service life.
NOTE
The legal provisions for the use of studded
tyres vary from country to country.
