WHEELS AND TIRES
||
CAUTION
Make sure you have a solid connection
between bolt and wheel bolt key when
loosening/tightening the wheel bolts.
Applying force at an angle could damage
the slots in the wheel bolts and the wheel
bolt key and make it impossible to install or
remove the wheel.
When the wheel bolt key is not being used,
stow it in its designated location in the foam
block under the cargo compartment floor. This
is important to remember so that the tool is
available if the vehicle is taken to a workshop.
If you lose the key, contact your Volvo retailer.

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 wheel is only intended for tempo-
rary 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 replacement
can be purchased from a Volvo retailer.
WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the
"Temporary Spare" wheel other than as a
temporary replacement for a punctured
tire. It must be replaced as soon as possi-
ble by a standard tire. Roadholding and
handling may be affected with the "Tempo-
rary Spare" wheel in use.
WARNING
Never drive faster than 80 km/h
•
(50 mph) with a spare tire mounted on
the vehicle.
The vehicle must never be driven with
•
more than one "Temporary Spare"
wheel mounted.
Driving with a spare wheel may alter
•
the driving characteristics of the vehi-
cle. Replace the spare wheel with a
normal wheel as soon as possible.
The spare wheel is smaller than the
•
normal wheel, which affects the vehi-
cle's ground clearance. Watch for high
curbs and do not wash the vehicle in
an automatic car wash when a spare
wheel is mounted.
Follow the manufacturer's recom-
•
mended tire inflation pressure for the
spare wheel.
On all-wheel drive vehicles, the drive
•
on the rear axle can be disconnected.
If the spare wheel is mounted on the
•
front axle, snow chains must not be
used.
The spare wheel must not be repaired.
