WARNING
If the pressure is below 1.8 bar then the hole
in the tyre is too big. The journey should not
continue. Contacting an authorised tyre
centre is recommended.
10. Switch off the compressor to check the
pressure on the pressure gauge. Minimum
pressure is 1.8 bar and maximum is
3.5 bar.
11. Switch off the compressor and unplug the
cable from the 12 V socket.
12. Detach the hose from the tyre valve and fit
the valve cap.
13. As soon as possible, drive approximately
3 km at a maximum speed of 80 km/h so
that the sealing fluid can seal the tyre.
Inflating the tyres
The car's original tyres can be inflated by the
compressor.
1. The compressor must be switched off.
Make sure that the switch is in position 0
and locate the cable and air hose.
2. Unscrew the wheel's dust cap and screw
in the air hose valve connection to the bot-
tom of the thread on the tyre's air valve.
WARNING
Inhaling car exhaust fumes can result in
danger to life. Never leave the engine run-
ning in sealed areas or areas that lack suf-
ficient ventilation.
WARNING
Do not leave children in the car without
supervision when the engine is running.
3. Connect the cable to one of the car's 12 V
sockets and start the car.
4. Start the compressor by flicking the switch
to position I.
IMPORTANT
Risk of overheating. The compressor must
not run for more than 10 minutes.
5. Inflate the tyre to the pressure specified on
the tyre pressure label/table, see
page 262. (Release air using the pressure
reducing valve if the tyre pressure is too
high.)
6. Switch off the compressor. Detach the air
hose and cable.
7. Refit the dust cap.
06 Maintenance and service
Wheels and tyres
Rechecking the repair and pressure
1. Reconnect the equipment.
2. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure
gauge.
•
If it is below 1.3 bar then the tyre is
insufficiently sealed. The journey should
not be continued. Contact a tyre centre.
•
If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3
bar, the tyre must be inflated to the pres-
sure specified on the tyre pressure
label/table, see page 262. Release air
using the pressure reducing valve if the
tyre pressure is too high.
WARNING
Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped
with a reverse catch to prevent leakage.
3. Switch off the compressor. Detach the air
hose and cable. Refit the dust cap.
4. Return the emergency puncture repair kit
to the cargo area.
NOTE
The sealing fluid bottle and hose must be
replaced after use. Volvo recommends that
this replacement is performed by an author-
ised Volvo workshop.
