Temporary Spare - Volvo V70 Owner's Manual

Tyres with tread wear indicators
Tread wear indicators are narrow, raised areas
across the tread that have approximately
1.6 mm less tread depth than the remainder of
the tyre (the letters TWI are on the side of the
tyre). When this bar is visible, only 1.6 mm of
tread remains and the tyre should be replaced
immediately. Bear in mind that road grip and
the tyre's ability to push water out of the way is
already affected markedly when there is 3-4 mm
of remaining tread.
Changing the tyres - summer/winter
When you change between summer and winter tyres; mark on the tyre
which side they were fitted: For example, L = left, R = right.
NOTE! Tyres should have the same direction of rotation throughout their life.
Tyres with tread designs that are made to roll only in one direction, have
the direction of rotation marked with an arrow on the tyre.
If the tyres are fitted incorrectly this will impair the car's braking characte-
ristics and the ability to disperse rain, snow and slush.
IMPORTANT!
Tyres with the greatest tread depth should always - irrespective of
rear or front wheel drive - be fitted at the rear.
Contact your closest Volvo dealer to check if you are unsure.
Storage
Wheels should be stored horizontally or suspended, not vertically.

"Temporary Spare"

The "Temporary Spare" should only be used for the short time it takes to
repair or replace the normal tyre.
By law it is only legal to use the spare wheel/tyre temporarily in
connection with damage to a tyre. A wheel/tyre of this type should
therefore be replaced by a normal wheel/tyre as soon as possible.

Remember also that the "temporary spare" in combination with normal
wheels/tyres can have different driving characteristics.
The maximum speed with a "Temporary Spare" is therefore 80 km/h
(50 mph).
NOTE! Only use the car's own genuine spare wheel! Tyres with other
dimensions may cause damage to your car. Only one tyre may be used at a
time.
