WARNING
•
Do not remove the bottle while the tire
sealing system is being used.
•
Do not remove the hose while the tire
sealing system is being used.
1. Turn on the vehicle's hazard warning flashers
if the tire sealing system is to be used in an
area with traffic.
If the puncture was caused by a nail or simi-
lar object, do not remove it. It will help seal
the hole.
2. Peel off the speed limit sticker from the side
of the compressor. Affix the decal to a clearly
visible location on the windshield to remind
the driver not to exceed this speed limit. Do
not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) while
using a tire that has been temporarily
repaired with the tire sealing system.
3. Make sure the switch is in the 0 (Off) posi-
tion and take out the electric cable and the
hose.
4. Unscrew the orange cover on the compres-
sor and unscrew the cap on the sealing com-
pound bottle.
5. Screw the bottle onto the bottle holder as far
as possible.
The bottle and the bottle holder are equip-
ped with catches to help prevent the sealing
compound from leaking. Once the bottle is
screwed into place into the bottle holder, it
cannot be unscrewed. The bottle can only be
removed by a workshop. Volvo recommends
an authorized Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Do not unscrew the bottle. It is equipped with
a catch to prevent leakage.
6. Unscrew the tire's valve cap and screw the
hose's valve connector as far as possible
onto the valve.
Be sure the air release valve on the com-
pressor's hose is completely closed.
