8. Start the compressor by moving the
switch to the I (On) position.
WARNING
Never stand next to a tire being inflated
with the compressor. If cracks, bulges, etc.
form on the tire, switch off the compressor
immediately. The vehicle should not be
driven. Call roadside assistance to have the
vehicle towed to a workshop for inspec-
tion/replacement of the tire. Volvo recom-
mends an authorized workshop.
NOTE
When the compressor first starts, air pres-
sure may temporarily increase up to 6 bar
(88 psi) but should decrease again after
approximately 30 seconds.
9. Inflate the tire for 7 minutes.
CAUTION
To help avoid overheating, the compressor
should never be used for more than
10 minutes at a time.

10. Switch off the compressor and check the
inflation pressure using the air pressure
gauge. The inflation pressure should be
between 1.8 bar (22 psi) and 3.5 bar
(51 psi). If the inflation pressure is too
high, use the air release valve to release
air.
WARNING
If pressure falls below 1.8 bar (22 psi), the
hole in the tire may be too large. The vehi-
cle should not be driven. Call roadside
assistance to have the vehicle towed to a
workshop for inspection/replacement of
the tire. Volvo recommends an authorized
workshop.
11. Switch off the compressor and remove
the electrical cable.
12. Unscrew the hose from the tire's valve and
screw the valve cap back on.
NOTE
After inflating a tire, always replace the
•
valve cap to help prevent valve damage
caused by gravel, dirt, etc.
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
•
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
13. Put the protective hose cover onto the
hose to help prevent leakage of any resid-
ual sealing compound. Return the equip-
ment to the cargo compartment.
14. Immediately drive the vehicle at least
3 km (2 miles) at a maximum speed of
80 km/h (50 mph) to allow the sealing
compound to seal the tire, and then
recheck the inflation pressure.
WARNING
During the tire's first revolution, some seal-
ing compound may spray out of the punc-
ture hole. Before driving away, make sure
that no one is near the vehicle who could
be sprayed with sealing compound. Make
sure no one is within 2 meters(7 feet) of
the vehicle.
15. Rechecking the inflation pressure
Connect the hose to the tire's valve and
screw the hose connector onto the valve
as far as possible. The compressor must
be switched off.
