Taking out the spare wheel
1. Loosen the straps, lift out the spare wheel
from the cargo area and remove it from
the spare wheel bag.
2. Fold up the cargo area floor.
3. Lift the tools and jack out from the foam
block.
Removing
Set up warning triangle (p. 329) if a wheel is
replaced in trafficked location. The car and
jack* must be on a firm horizontal surface.
1. Apply the parking brake, (p. 293) and
engage reverse gear, or position P if the
car has an automatic gearbox.
WARNING
Check that the jack is not damaged, that
the threads are thoroughly lubricated and
that it is free from dirt.
NOTE
Volvo recommends only using the jack*
that belongs to the car model in question,
which is indicated on the jack's label.
The label also indicates the jack's maxi-
mum lift capacity at a specified minimum
lifting height.
2. Take out the jack*, wheel wrench* and
removal tool for wheel covers* located
under the cargo floor in the cargo area. If
another jack is selected, see Raising the
car (p. 341).
3. Place chocks in front of and behind the
wheels which will remain on the ground to
prevent them from rolling. Use heavy
wooden blocks or large stones for exam-
ple.
