Changing A Wheel - Spare Wheel - Volvo S60 Owner's Manual

WARNING
•
The jack must correctly engage the
jack attachment.
•
Be sure the jack is on a firm, level,
non-slippery surface.
•
Never allow any part of your body to
be extended under a vehicle suppor-
ted by a jack.
•
Use the jack intended for the vehicle
when changing a tire. For any other
job, use stands to support the vehicle.
•
Apply the parking brake and put the
gear selector in the Park (P) position.
•
Block the wheels standing on the
ground, use rigid wooden blocks or
large stones.
•
The jack should be kept well-greased
and clean, and should not be dam-
aged.
•
No objects should be placed between
the base of jack and the ground, or
between the jack and the attachment
bar on the vehicle.
NOTE
The jack provided with your vehicle is
intended to be used only in temporary sit-
uations such as changing wheels in the
event of a flat tire. Only the jack that came
with your particular model should be used
to lift the vehicle. If the vehicle needs to be
lifted more frequently or for a prolonged
period, using a garage jack or hoist is rec-
ommended. Always follow this device's
instructions for use.

Spare wheel
The following instructions only apply if you

your vehicle.
If there is no temporary spare wheel in your
vehicle, please see Tire sealing system* –
general information (p. 307) for instructions
on using the tire sealing system.
The accessory temporary spare wheel is pro-
vided in a bag that must be securely strapped
in place in the trunk while the vehicle is being
driven.
The spare wheel is only intended for tempo-
rary use. Replace it with a normal wheel as
soon as possible. The vehicle's handling may
be altered by the use of the spare wheel. The
correct tire pressure is stated in the tire pres-
sure table, see Tire inflation – pressure table
(p. 294) and in the tire inflation placard on the
driver's side door jamb at the rear of the driv-
er's door opening.
