Removing wheels
Remember to set out the warning triangle if you
must change a wheel in a trafficked area. There
are two jacking points on each side of the car.
The jacking points are centred under the bot-
tom of the doors.
1. Park the car on level and firm ground.
2. Move the gear selector to the P position
and apply the parking brake.
3. Place chocks in front of and behind the
wheels which will remain on the ground.
Use stones or wooden blocks for example.
WARNING
Check that the jack is not damaged, that the
threads are thoroughly lubricated and that it
is free from dirt.
NOTE
Volvo recommends only using the jack* that
belongs to the car model in question, which
is indicated on the jack's label.
The label also indicates the jack's maximum
lift capacity at a specified minimum lifting
height.
4. Take out the jack*, wheel wrench and
crank, see location see page 183. If
another jack is selected, see page 205.
07 Wheels and tyres
Changing wheels
WARNING
Never crawl under the car when it is raised
on the jack. The car could fall, causing inju-
ries.
The car's original jack should only be used
when changing wheels. All other work on
the car should be done using workshop
jacks and axle stands under the part of the
car that is raised.
The jack screw should be kept well lubri-
cated.
If the surface is too soft, the jack could slide
to the side and the car could fall. No one
should be in the car when the wheel is being
changed.
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 punctured
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.
