Changing Wheels - Volvo C30 2012 Owner's Manual

Removing wheels
Set up the warning triangle if a wheel must be
changed at a busy location. Make sure that the
car and jack are on a firm horizontal surface.
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 maximum
lift capacity at a specified minimum lifting
height.
1. Take out the spare wheel*, the jack* and
the wheel wrench* that are located under
the carpet in the cargo area. If another jack
is selected, see page 219.
2. Apply the parking brake and engage
reverse gear, or position P if the car has an
automatic gearbox.
3. Place chocks in front of and behind the
wheels which will remain on the ground.
Use heavy wooden blocks or large stones.
4. Cars with steel rims have removable wheel
covers. Prize off the wheel cover with the
end of the wheel wrench, or pull it off by
hand.
5. Loosen the wheel nuts ½-1 turn anticlock-
wise with the wheel wrench.
