Punctures

There are several safety requirements that
need to be considered in the event of a
punctured tire.
For detailed information concerning wheel
changing, see separate operating instructions:
"Wheel replacement and towing".

Punctured air bellows

If any of the vehicle's air bellows are
punctured, further driving should be avoided.
The preferred alternative is to replace the
bellow at the current location or the vehicle
should be towed to the nearest Volvo work
shop.
Only if other options are judged not feasible,
the vehicle shall be driven. In such case, the
speed must be reduced to maximum 12 mph
(20 km/h) and during approximate 0,5 hour
(30 minutes) in order to avoid consequential
faults or park the bus in a safe place out of
the way and stop the engine and immediately
contact an authorized nearest Volvo service
center to request the assistance and rescue on
highway service (see the following section
on this manual: "Assistance and rescue on
highway", page 143).
For information about changing air
bellows, see separate operating instructions:
