Changing A Wheel - Volvo V50 User Manual

2006 Volvo V50
Incorrectly mounted tires impair the car's braking properties and ability to force aside rain, snow and
slush.
The tires with the most tread should always be at the rear (to reduce the risk of skidding)
Wheels should be stored hanging up or on their sides, never standing.
Contact a Volvo workshop if you are unsure about the tread depth.
pg. 141 Changing a wheel
The spare tire, jack, and crank are located under the carpet on the floor of the cargo area.
To change a tire:
1. Engage the parking brake.
2. Put the gear selector in (P)ark.
3. Block the wheels that are on the ground with wooden blocks or large stones.
4. Remove the wheel cap (where applicable) using the lug wrench in the tool bag.
