NOTE
•
After use, the sealing compound bot-
tle, the hose, and certain other system
components must be replaced. Please
consult your Volvo retailer for replace-
ment parts.
•
If the sealing compound bottle's expi-
ration date has passed, please take it
to a Volvo retailer or a recycling station
that can properly dispose of harmful
substances.
Inflating tires
The tire sealing system can be used to inflate
the tires. To do so:
1. Park the car in a safe place.
2. The compressor should be switched off.
Ensure that the on/off switch is in position
0 (the 0 side of the switch should be
pressed down).
3. Take out the electrical wire and hose.
4. Remove the valve cap from the tire's
inflation valve and screw the hose con-
nector onto the valve as tightly as possi-
ble by hand.
5. Connect the electrical wire to the nearest
12-volt socket in the vehicle.
6. Start the vehicle's engine.
WARNING
•
The vehicle's engine should be running
when the tire sealing system is used to
avoid battery drain. Therefore, be sure
the vehicle is parked in a well ventilated
place, or outdoors, before using the
system. The parking brake should be
securely applied and the gear selector
should be in the P (park) position.
•
Children should never be left unatten-
ded in the vehicle when the engine is
running.
7. Check the tire's inflation pressure on the
gauge. Switch off the compressor briefly
to get a clear reading from the pressure
gauge.
8. Refer to the tire inflation tables for the
correct inflation pressure. If the tire needs
to be inflated, start the tire sealing sys-
tem's compressor (press the on/off
switch to position I). If necessary, release
air from the tire by turning the air release
knob counterclockwise.
