Emergency Puncture Repair - Volvo V50 Owner's Manual

Emergency puncture repair, general
information
The emergency puncture repair kit is used to
seal a puncture as well as to check and adjust
the tyre pressure. It consists of a compressor
and a bottle with sealing fluid. The kit works as
a temporary repair. The sealing fluid bottle
must be replaced before its expiration date and
after use.
The sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punc-
tured in the tread.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture in
the tread.
NOTE
The jack is an option on cars equipped with
emergency puncture repair kit.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
capacity to seal tyres which have punctures in
the wall. Do not seal tyres with the emergency
puncture repair kit if they have larger slits,
cracks or similar damage.
12V sockets for the compressor are located by
the centre console in the front, by the rear seat
and in the cargo area*. Choose the electrical
socket that is nearest the punctured tyre.
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.
Taking out the emergency puncture
repair kit
The emergency puncture repair kit with com-
pressor and tools are stored under the floor in
the cargo area.
