Changing A Wheel - Spare Wheel - Volvo S60 Owner's Manual

Changing a wheel – spare wheel
Wheel changes should always be carried out
correctly.
Spare tire
A spare tire can be purchased for your vehi-
cle as an accessory. Follow the instructions
included with the spare tire regarding use and
stowing in the vehicle. See also Changing a
wheel – removing wheel (p. 288) for additional
information.
Spare wheel
The following instructions only apply if you
have purchased a temporary spare wheel* for
your vehicle.
If there is no temporary spare wheel in your
vehicle, please see Tire sealing system* –
general information (p. 310) for instructions
on using the tire sealing system.
The accessory temporary spare wheel is pro-
vided in a bag that must be securely strapped
in place in the trunk while the vehicle is being
driven.
The spare wheel is only intended for tempo-
rary use. Replace it with a normal wheel as
soon as possible. The vehicle's handling may
be altered by the use of the spare wheel. The
correct tire pressure is stated in the tire pres-
sure table, see Tire inflation – pressure table
(p. 297) and in the tire inflation placard on the
driver's side door jamb at the rear of the driv-
er's door opening.
Turn the handle on the spare wheel bag in
toward the rear seat. Secure the stitched
strap hooks in the loading eyelets. Secure the
long strap in one of the loading eyelets, wrap
the strap around the spare wheel and through
the lower handle. Secure the short strap on
the long strap. Secure in the other loading
eyelet and tighten.
WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the
"Temporary Spare" tire other than as a
temporary replacement for a punctured
tire. It must be replaced as soon as possi-
ble by a standard tire. Road holding and
handling may be affected with the "Tem-
porary Spare" in use.
