CAUTION
Snow chains can be used on the vehicle,
with the following restrictions:
Always follow the manufacturer's
•
installation instructions carefully. Install
chains as tightly as possible and
retighten periodically.
Only put snow chains on the front
•
wheels (also applies to all-wheel drive
vehicles).
If accessory, aftermarket or "custom"
•
tires and wheels with different dimen-
sions than the original tires and wheels
are used, snow chains in some cases
may NOT be used. Sufficient distance
between the chains and brakes, sus-
pension and body components must
be maintained.
Check local regulations regarding the
•
use of snow chains before installing.
Never exceed the snow chain manu-
•
facturer's specified maximum speed
limit. Under no circumstances should
you exceed 50 km/h (30 mph).
Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns
•
when driving with snow chains.
Avoid driving on surfaces without
•
snow as this wears out both the snow
chains and the tires.
The handling of the vehicle can be
•
adversely affected when driving with
chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as
well as locked wheel braking.
Some types of strap-on chains affect
•
brake components and therefore must
NOT be used.
Consult a Volvo retailer for more information
about snow chains.

Tire sealing system
The temporary tire sealing system can be
used to seal a puncture in a tire or to check
and adjust the pressure in the tire.
Models equipped with a spare wheel
have the tire sealing system.
