Changing Wheels - Volvo XC90 Owner's Manual

Removing wheels
Remember to set out the warning triangle if
you must change a wheel in a trafficked area.
There are two jacking points on each side of
the car. The jacking points are centred under
the bottom of the doors.
1. Park the car on level and firm ground.
2. Move the gear selector to the P position
and apply the parking brake.
3. Place chocks in front of and behind the
wheels which will remain on the ground.
Use stones or wooden blocks for exam-
ple.
WARNING
Check that the jack is not damaged, that
the threads are thoroughly lubricated and
that it is free from dirt.
NOTE
Volvo recommends only using the jack*
that belongs to the car model in question,
which is indicated on the jack's label.
The label also indicates the jack's maxi-
mum lift capacity at a specified minimum
lifting height.
4. Take out the jack*, wheel wrench and
crank, see location see page 189. If
another jack is selected, see page 211.
07 Wheels and tyres

Changing wheels

WARNING
Never crawl under the car when it is raised
on the jack. The car could fall, causing
injuries.
The car's original jack should only be used
when changing wheels. All other work on
the car should be done using workshop
jacks and axle stands under the part of the
car that is raised.
The jack screw should be kept well lubri-
cated.
If the surface is too soft, the jack could
slide to the side and the car could fall. No
one should be in the car when the wheel is
being changed.
NOTE
The car's regular jack is designed only for
use occasionally and for a short time, such
as when changing a wheel with a punc-
tured tyre, switching between summer
tyres and winter tyres, etc. Only the jack
belonging to the specific model is to be
used to jack up the car. If the car is to be
jacked up more often, or for a longer time
than is required just to change a wheel,
use of a garage jack is recommended. In
this instance, follow the instructions for
use that come with the equipment.
