Changing Wheels - Volvo V70 Owner's Manual

Changing wheels

The spare wheel is under the plastic trough in the cargo compartment.
Remember to set out the warning triangle.
· Apply the parking brake and put the car into first gear if it has a
manual gearbox - position P on cars with automatic gearbox. Put
chocks in front of and behind the wheels to remain on the ground.
· Cars with aluminum rims with a cover: remove the cover using the
socket wrench.

· Cars with steel rims have removable wheel covers. Prise off the wheel
cover with a thick screwdriver or the like. If tools are not available, the
wheel cover can be prised off by hand. Use protective gloves. When
you reinstall the wheel covers: ensure that the wheel cover valve hole
is opposite the wheel's air valve.
· Loosen the wheel nuts 1/2-1 with the socket wrench. The nuts are
loosened by turning anticlockwise.
There are two jacking points on each side of the car. The jacking points
are marked on the door sill trims.
