Emergency puncture repair*

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 com-
pressor 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.
NOTE
The jack is an option on cars equipped
with emergency puncture repair kit.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
capacity to seal tyres which have punctures

in the wall. Do not seal tyres with the emer-
gency 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, see pages 62, 76

and 123. Choose the electrical socket that is
nearest the punctured tyre.
IMPORTANT
If the compressor for emergency puncture
repair is connected to one of the two sock-
ets - see pages 62 and 76 - no other cur-
rent consumer must be connected to the
other one.
NOTE
The compressor for temporary emergency
puncture repair has been tested and
approved by Volvo.
