Changing Wheels - Fitting The Spare Wheel - Volvo V40 Owner's Manual

WARNING
Never position anything between the
ground and the jack, nor between the jack
and the car's jacking point.
7. There are two jacking points on each side
of the car.
IMPORTANT
The ground under the jack must be firm,
smooth and level.
8. Wind up the jack so that the flange in the
bodywork ends up in the notch in the
head of the jack.
9. Lift the car so that the wheel is free.
Remove the wheel bolts and lift off the
wheel.
WARNING
Never crawl under the car when it is raised
on the jack.
Passengers must leave the car when it is
raised on the jack.
Park the car such that passengers have
the car, or ideally a crash barrier, between
themselves and the roadway.
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.

Changing wheels - fitting the spare
wheel*
It is important that the procedure for fitting
the spare wheel is carried out correctly.
Fitting
1. Clean the contact surfaces between
wheel and hub.
2. Put on the wheel. Tighten the wheel bolts
thoroughly.
3. Lower the car so that the wheels cannot
rotate.
4. Tighten the wheel bolts crosswise. It is
important that the wheel bolts are tight-
ened with the correct tightening torque.
Check the torque with a torque wrench.
