a compressor and a bottle with sealing fluid.
The kit works as a temporary repair. The seal-
ing 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.
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.
Connect the compressor to one of the car's
12 V sockets; see pages 244 and 306.
Choose the socket that is nearest the punc-
tured tyre.
NOTE
The compressor for temporary emergency
puncture repair has been tested and
approved by Volvo.

repair kit and warning triangle
Set up the warning triangle if a tyre is being
sealed in a trafficked location. The warning
triangle and emergency puncture repair kit
are located under the floor in the cargo area.
