Inflating Tyres - Volvo V70 Owner's Manual

Inflating tyres

Set up the warning triangle if a tyre must be
inflated in an area where there is other traffic.
· Ensure that the orange-coloured switch (2)
is in position 0 and take out the cable (5) and
air hose (4) from the side compartment (3).
· Screw the air hose's valve connection to the
bottom of the thread on the tyre's air valve.
· Connect the cable (5) to one of the car's
12 V sockets.
· Start the engine. The car must be in a well-
ventilated area.
· Start the compressor by setting the switch
(2) to position I.
· Pump up the tyre to the pressure specified
on the tyre pressure decal.
· Turn off the compressor; the switch (2)
should be in position 0. Disconnect the air
hose and the cable. Refit the valve's dust cap.
WARNING!
Inhaling car exhaust fumes can result in
danger to life. Never leave the engine
running in sealed areas or areas that lack
sufficient ventilation.
· Return the cable (5) and air hose (4) to the
side compartment (3).
· Put the puncture repair kit back under the
floor in the cargo compartment.
The compressor should not run for more than
10 minutes at a time. Let it cool afterwards as
there is a risk of overheating.
Objects with a volume of up to 50 litres can be
pumped up with the compressor.
