Inflate Tyres With The Compressor; From The Emergency Puncture Repair Kit - Volvo XC 90 Owner's Manual

WARNING
Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped with
a reverse catch to prevent leakage.
16. Make sure the compressor is switched off.
Detach the air hose and cable. Refit the dust
cap.
17. Fold the hose into the box and leave the bot-
tle where it is. Return the parts to the cargo
area.
NOTE
•
After a tyre has been inflated, always refit
the dust cap in order to avoid damage to
the valve from gravel, dirt, etc.
•
Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust
caps can rust and become difficult to
unscrew.
NOTE
The sealing fluid bottle and the hose must be
replaced after use. Volvo recommends that
this replacement is performed by an author-
ised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Check the tyre pressure regularly.
Volvo recommends that the car is driven to the
nearest authorised Volvo workshop for the
replacement/repair of the damaged 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. Volvo recommends a visit to an author-
ised Volvo workshop for inspection of the
sealed tyre (maximum 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.
