Wheel Bolts - Volvo XC90 TWIN ENGINE Owner's Manual

WHEELS AND TYRES
||
IMPORTANT
•
When the jack* is not in use it must be
stored in its storage space under the
cargo area floor.
•
The jack included with the car is only
designed for occasional, short-term use,
such as when changing a wheel after a
puncture. Only the jack belonging to the
specific model is to be used to jack up
the car. If the car is to be jacked up more
often, or for a longer time than is required
just to change a wheel, use of a garage
jack is recommended. In this instance,
follow the instructions for use that come
with the equipment.
The jack needs to be cranked together to the
correct position in order to have space.
Models with self-levelling*
If the car is equipped with the air suspension
option then this function must be deactivated
before the car is raised with the jack.

Wheel bolts

Wheel bolts are used to attach the wheels to the
hubs.
IMPORTANT
The wheel bolts must be tightened to
140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.). Overtightening or loose
tightening may damage the nuts and the
bolts.
Only use rims that are tested and approved by
Volvo and which are Volvo genuine accessories.
Check the tightening torque of the wheel bolts
with a torque wrench.
Do not use lubricant on the threads of the wheel
bolts.
WARNING
The wheel bolts may need to be re-tightened
several days after the change. Temperature
differences and vibration may mean that they
are not attached equally as tightly.
Locking wheel bolts*
In the foam block under the cargo area floor
there is space for the sleeve for the lockable
wheel bolts.
