Taking Out The Spare Wheel - Volvo XC40 Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT
The car must not be driven with tyres of dif-
ferent sizes or with a spare tyre other than
the one supplied with the car. Using different-
sized wheels can cause serious damage to
the car's transmission.
The spare wheel is located in the spare wheel
well with the outside down. The foam block con-
tains all the tools for changing a wheel.
