MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
||
NOTE
Volvo recommends only using the jack
intended for your specific vehicle model. If
a jack other than that recommended by
Volvo is used, follow the instructions
included with the equipment.
The vehicle's ordinary jack is only intended
to be used in temporary situations for short
periods of time, such as when changing
wheels in the event of a flat tire. If the vehi-
cle needs to be lifted more frequently, or
for a longer period of time than for a wheel
change, a garage jack or hoist is recom-
mended. Always follow the instructions for
use provided with the equipment.

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.
WARNING
If the vehicle is lifted on a garage jack, the
jack must be placed under one of the four
lifting points. Make sure that the vehicle is
correctly positioned on the jack and that it
cannot slide off. Make sure the jack plate
has a rubber pad to help keep the vehicle
stable and prevent damage. Always use
axle stands or similar.
When not in use, the jack* should be kept in
its storage compartment under the cargo
compartment floor.
Read through all instructions before starting.
Before raising the vehicle using a jack or lift,
take out all the tools you will need.
1. Turn on the vehicle's hazard warning
flashers if e.g. a wheel change must be
performed in an area with traffic.
2. Apply the parking brake and put the gear
selector in P, or first gear if the vehicle has
a manual transmission.
3. Place chocks in front of and behind the
wheels that are still on the ground. For
example, use heavy wooden blocks or
large stones.
