General
The emergency puncture repair kit is used to
seal a puncture as well as to check and adjust
the tyre pressure. It consists of a compressor
and a bottle with sealing fluid. The kit works as
a temporary repair. The sealing fluid bottle
must be replaced before its expiration date and
after use.
The sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punc-
tured in the tread.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture in
the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
capacity to seal tyres which have punctures in
the wall. Do not seal tyres with the emergency
puncture repair kit if they have larger slits,
cracks or similar damage.
12 V sockets for the compressor are located by
the centre console in the front, by the rear seat
and in the cargo area. Choose the electrical
socket that is nearest the punctured tyre.
Taking out the emergency puncture
repair kit
Set up the warning triangle adjacent to a traf-
ficked location. The emergency puncture
repair kit is located under the floor in the cargo
area.
1. Raise the floor hatch in the cargo area floor.
2. Unscrew the retaining screw.
3. Lift away the foam block holding the jack*
and wheel wrench*.
4. Lift up the emergency puncture repair kit.
Replace the parts after use.
WARNING
You should not drive faster than80 km/h
after the emergency tyre repair kit has been
used. Volvo recommends that you visit an
authorised Volvo workshop for inspection of
the sealed tyre (maximum driving distance
is 200 km). The staff there can determine
whether or not the tyre can be repaired or if
it needs to be replaced.
