Rechecking the repair and pressure
1. Reconnect the equipment.
2. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure
gauge.
•
If it is below 1.3 bar then the tyre is
insufficiently sealed. The journey should
not be continued. Contact a tyre centre.
•
If the tyre pressure is higher than
1.3 bar, the tyre must be inflated to the
pressure specified on the tyre pressure
decal. Release air using the pressure
reducing valve if the tyre pressure is too
high.
WARNING
Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped
with a reverse catch to prevent leakage.
3. Switch off the compressor. Detach the air
hose and cable. Refit the dust cap.
4. Return the emergency puncture repair kit
to the cargo area.
NOTE
The sealing fluid bottle and hose must be
replaced after use. Replacement must be
performed by an authorised Volvo work-
shop.
WARNING
Check the tyre pressure regularly.
Drive to the nearest authorised Volvo work-
shop for the replacement/repair of the dam-
aged tyre. Advise the workshop that the tyre
contains sealing fluid.
WARNING
You should not drive faster than 80 km/h
after the emergency tyre repair kit has been
used. Contact an authorised Volvo work-
shop for inspection of the sealed tyre (maxi-
mum driving distance is 200 km). The staff
there can determine whether or not the tyre
can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.
Replacing the sealing fluid canister
Replace the bottle when the expiration date
has passed. Treat the old bottle as environ-
mentally hazardous waste.
