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.
09 Wheels and tires
The 12-volt sockets are located in the front
tunnel console and on the rear side of the
center console in the rear seat.
Accessing the tire sealing system
The tire sealing system is stowed under the
floor of the trunk. 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.
