Fitting The Wheels - Volvo V60 TWIN ENGINE 2019 Owner's Manual

Fitting the wheels

Instructions for fitting a wheel when changing
wheels.
NOTE
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.
WHEELS AND TYRES
1. Clean the surfaces between wheel and hub.
2. Put on the wheel. Tighten the wheel bolts
thoroughly.
Do not use lubricant on the threads of the
wheel bolts.
3. Lower the car so that the wheels cannot
rotate.
4. Tighten the wheel bolts crosswise. It is impor-
tant that the wheel bolts are tightened prop-
erly. Tighten to 140 Nm (103 foot-pound).
Check the tightening torque with a torque
wrench.
5. Refit the plastic caps on the wheel bolts.
6. Check the tyre pressure and calibrate the
tyre pressure monitoring system*.
