to spin, an electronically controlled coupling distributes power to the wheels that have the best traction.

Tire dimensions

Volvo recommends that you always drive on tires of the same brand, size, construction (radial), tread
pattern, load-, speed-, traction-, temperature-, and treadwear rating. Never drive on mixed tires, except
for brief periods when the temporary spare tire is in use.
Always use properly inflated tires of correct dimensions. Tire size and inflation pressures are shown on
the tire pressure label located inside the fuel filler door.

Tire Rotation

Volvo recommends rotating the tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km). Tires should be rotated front-to-
back/back-to-front only. Tires must maintain the same direction of rotation throughout their lifetime, and
should never be rotated from one side of the vehicle to the other.

Temporary Spare

The temporary spare tire is for temporary, low-speed, short-distance use only. Replace it with a full-
sized tire as soon as possible, in accordance with "Tire Rotation" in the previous paragraph. Do not drive
on the temporary spare at speeds above 50 m.p.h. (80km/h) or for distances greater than 50 miles (80
km).
Never install snow chains on a temporary spare.
