IMPORTANT
Snow chains can be used on the car with the
following restrictions:
Always follow the mounting instructions
•
from the manufacturer carefully. Fit the
chains as tensioned as possible and ten-
sion them at regular intervals.
Snow chains must only be used on the
•
front wheels (also applies to all-wheel
drive cars).
In some cases, snow chains must NOT
•
be used, such as if accessory, aftermar-
ket or "special" tyres and wheels are fit-
ted that have a different size to the origi-
nal tyres and wheels. Sufficient distance
must be maintained between the chains
and brakes, suspension and body compo-
nents.
Check local regulations with regard to
•
using snow chains before fitting them.
Never exceed the chain manufacturer's
•
specified maximum speed. You must
never exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) under
any circumstances.
Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when
•
driving with snow chains.
Avoid driving on bare ground as this
•
wears out both the snow chains and
tyres.
Driving with snow chains may have a
•
negative effect on the car's driving cha-
racteristics. Avoid fast or sharp turns, as
well as braking with locked wheels.
Some types of chain that are firmly ten-
•
sioned affect brake components and
must therefore NOT be used.
You can obtain more information on snow chains
from a Volvo dealer.

WHEELS AND TYRES
Emergency puncture repair kit
The emergency puncture repair kit
seal a puncture as well as to check and adjust
the air pressure in the tyre.
Cars equipped with spare tyre* do not have the
puncture repair kit.
The puncture repair kit consists of a compressor
and a bottle with sealing fluid. The sealing works
as a temporary repair.
NOTE
The sealing fluid is effective at sealing tyres
with tread punctures but has limited ability to
seal tyres with sidewall punctures. Do not use
the emergency puncture repair kit on tyres
displaying larger slits, cracks or similar dam-
age.
NOTE
The compressor is intended for temporary
emergency puncture repair and is approved
by Volvo.
Location
The puncture repair kit is located in the foam
block under the floor in the cargo area.
