compressor and a bottle with sealing fluid. The
kit works as a temporary repair. The sealing
fluid bottle must be replaced before its expira-
tion 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.
Connect the compressor to one of the car's 12
V sockets; see pages 236 and 296. Choose the
socket that is nearest the punctured tyre.
NOTE
The compressor for temporary emergency
puncture repair has been tested and
approved by Volvo.
Positioning of the emergency puncture
repair kit and warning triangle
Set up the warning triangle if a tyre is being
sealed in a trafficked location. The warning tri-
angle and emergency puncture repair kit are
located under the floor in the luggage com-
partment.
1. Lift the rear edge of the luggage compart-
ment floor (or on models with a jointed lug-
gage compartment floor, take hold of the
luggage compartment floor handle, lift and
move the rear part of the floor forwards).
2. Lift out the storage compartment (optional
extra) - models with a jointed luggage com-
partment floor only.
3. Lift out the lower floor (models with a join-
ted luggage compartment floor only).
4. Unhook the elastic part of the belt over the
TMK compressor unit on the left side.
5. Lift the TMK compressor unit straight up.
6. To access the bottle of sealant, it must be
pushed to the left until it can be lifted out
of the foam block.
