Changing Wheels - Volvo V60 Owner's Manual

Spare wheel*
The following instructions only apply if a
spare wheel has been purchased as an
accessory for the car. If the car is not equip-
ped with a spare wheel, see page 340 for
information on the temporary mobility kit
(TMK).
The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only
intended for use temporarily and must be
replaced by an ordinary wheel as soon as
possible. The car's handling may be altered
by the use of the spare wheel. The spare
wheel is smaller than the normal wheel. The
car's ground clearance is affected accord-
ingly. Pay attention to high kerbs and do not
machine wash the car. If the spare wheel is
fitted on the front axle, you cannot use snow
chains at the same time. On all-wheel drive
cars the drive on the rear axle can be discon-
nected. The spare wheel must not be
repaired. The correct tyre pressure for the
spare wheel is stated in the tyre pressure
table, see page 408.
IMPORTANT
Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a
spare wheel on the car.
IMPORTANT
The car must never be driven fitted with
more than one temporary spare wheel.
The spare wheel is supplied in a bag which
must be secured on the cargo area floor
using straps.
Cars with two load retaining eyelets.
Turn the handle on the spare wheel bag in
towards the rear seat. Attach the sewn-in ten-
sioning strap hooks in the load retaining eye-
lets. Attach the long strap into one of the load
retaining eyelets, run the strap around the
spare wheel and through the lower handle.
Tighten the short tensioning strap onto the
long one. Attach the second load retaining
eyelet and tighten.
