Removing A Wheel - Volvo XC90 2018 Owner's Manual

Removing a wheel

Wheel changes must always be performed cor-
rectly. Instructions on how a wheel is undone
and what is important to remember are provided
below.
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.
WARNING
Apply the parking brake and set the gear
•
selector in Park position (P).
Chock the wheels standing on the ground
•
using solid wood blocks or large stones.
Check that the jack is not damaged, that
•
the threads are thoroughly lubricated and
that it is free from dirt.
Check that the jack is resting on a firm,
•
level surface that is not slippery and is
not slanted.
The jack must be correctly attached in
•
the jack's bracket.
Never position anything between the
•
ground and the jack, nor between the
jack and the car's jacking point.
Passengers must leave the car when it is
•
raised on the jack.
If a wheel must be changed in a traf-
•
ficked environment, passengers must
stand in a safe place.
Use a jack designed for the car when
•
changing tyres. Use supports to secure
the car for all other work.
Never crawl under the car or reach under
•
with a part of your body when it is raised
on a jack.
