Spare Wheel - Volvo S60 Twin Engine Owner's Manual

Spare wheel*

The spare wheel, the Temporary Spare type,
can be used to temporarily replace a punc-
tured normal wheel.
The spare tyre is only designed for temporary
use. Replace it with a normal wheel as soon as
possible.
The car's driving characteristics can be
changed when the spare wheel is used and
the ground clearance is reduced. Do not wash
the car in an automatic car wash if the
Temporary Spare is being used.
Recommended tyre pressure must be main-
tained regardless of the position of the tempo-
rary spare wheel on the car.
If the spare tyre is damaged then a new one
can be purchased from a Volvo dealer.
WARNING
Never drive faster than 80 km/h
•
(50 mph) with a spare wheel fitted on
the car.
The car must never be driven fitted
•
with more than one "Temporary Spare"
wheel.
The car may have different driving cha-
•
racteristics while driving with the spare
wheel. The spare wheel must be
replaced with a normal wheel as soon
as possible.
The spare wheel is smaller than the
•
normal wheel, which affects the car's
ground clearance. Look out for high
kerbs and do not machine-wash the
car.
Follow the manufacturer's recom-
•
mended tyre pressure for the spare
wheel.
On all-wheel drive cars, the drive on
•
the rear axle can be disengaged.
If the spare wheel is fitted to the front
•
axle then it is not possible to use snow
chains at the same time.
The spare wheel must not be repaired.

The car must not be driven with tyres of

damage to the car's transmission.
