15. Follow-up inspection
Connect the air hose on the tyre valve and
screw in the valve connection to the bot-
tom of the tyre valve's thread. The com-
pressor must be switched off.
16. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure
gauge.
If it is below 1.3 bar (19 psi) then the
•
tyre is insufficiently sealed. The journey
should not be continued. Call roadside
assistance for recovery.
If the tyre pressure is higher than
•
1.3 bar (19 psi), the tyre must be infla-
ted to the pressure specified in accord-
ance with the tyre pressure label on the
driver's side door pillar (1 bar = 100 kPa
= 14.5 psi). Release air using the pres-
sure reducing valve if the tyre pressure
is too high.
WARNING
Check the tyre pressure regularly.
Volvo recommends that the car is driven to the
nearest authorised Volvo workshop for the
replacement/repair of the damaged tyre.
Advise the workshop that the tyre contains
sealing fluid.
558
The sealing fluid bottle and hose must be
replaced after use. Volvo recommends that
these replacements be performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Maximum mileage with tyres containing
sealing fluid is 200 km (120 miles).
NOTE
The compressor is an electrical device. Fol-
low local regulations related to waste man-
agement.

Inflating tyres with the compressor

from the puncture repair kit
The car's original tyres can be inflated using
the compressor in the emergency puncture
repair kit.
1. The compressor must be switched off.
Make sure that the switch is in position 0
(Off), and take out the electrical cable and
the air hose.
2. Attach the air hose directly into the com-
pressor's bottle bracket and turn clock-
wise until it clicks.
Move the warning decal to the side of the
compressor. It does not need to be
attached to the wheel cover unless the
sealing fluid is used.
3. Unscrew the tyre's dust cap and screw in
the air hose's valve connection to the bot-
tom of the thread on the tyre's air valve.
