Tire sealing system* – general
information
Certain models are equipped with a tire
sealing system* that enables you to tempo-
rarily seal a hole in the tread surface and re-
inflate a flat tire, or to adjust a tire's inflation
pressure.
Introduction
The tire sealing system consists of an air
compressor, a container for the sealing com-
pound, wiring to connect the system to the
vehicle's electrical system via one of the 12-
volt sockets, and a hose used to connect the
system to the tire's inflation valve.
NOTE
The tire sealing system's compressor has
been tested and approved by Volvo.
The 12-volt sockets are located in the front
tunnel console, on the rear side of the center
console in the rear seat and in the cargo
area*.
Accessing the tire sealing system
The tire sealing system is stowed under the
floor of the cargo area. To access it:
1. Lift the floor hatch in the cargo area.
2. Lift out the tire sealing system.
NOTE
•
The tire sealing system is only
intended to seal holes on the tire's
tread area, not the sidewall.
•
Tires with large holes or tears cannot
be repaired with the tire sealing sys-
tem.
•
After use, stow the tire sealing system
properly to help prevent rattling.
