WARNING
•
Never stand next to the tire being infla-
ted when the compressor is in opera-
tion.
•
If cracks, bubbles, etc. form on the tire,
switch off the compressor immediately.
•
If there is visible damage to the sidewall
or the rim, the tire cannot be repaired.
The vehicle should not be driven if this
occurs. Contact a towing service or
Volvo On Call Roadside Assistance if
applicable.
NOTE
The air pressure gauge will temporarily
show an increase in pressure to approxi-
mately 88 psi (6 bar) while the sealing
compound is being pumped into the tire.
The pressure should return to a normal
level after approximately 30 seconds.
9. Within seven minutes, inflate the tire to
between 22—44 psi (1.8—3.0 bar).
Switch off the compressor briefly to get a
clear reading from the pressure gauge.

CAUTION
The compressor should not be used for
more than 10 minutes at a time to avoid
overheating.
WARNING
If the pressure remains below 22 psi
(1.8 bar) after approximately seven
minutes, turn off the compressor. In this
case, the hole is too large to be sealed and
the vehicle should not be driven.
10. Switch off the compressor and discon-
nect the electrical wire from the 12-volt
socket.
11. Unscrew the hose from the tire's inflation
valve and reinstall the valve cap.
CAUTION
•
After inflating the tires, always reinstall
the valve cap to help avoid damage to
the valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
•
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
12. Immediately drive the vehicle for approxi-
mately 2 miles (3 km) at a maximum
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) to distribute
the sealing compound in the tire.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), the
use of the sealing compound may lead to
incorrect tire pressure readings or in rare
cases, damage to the tire pressure sensor.
Use the tire sealing system to check and
adjust the damaged tire's inflation pres-
sure.
NOTE
•
Safely stow the tire sealing system in a
convenient place as it will soon be
used again to check the tire's inflation
pressure.
•
The empty bottle of sealing compound
cannot be removed from the bottle
holder. Consult a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician to have the
bottle removed and properly disposed
of.
WARNING
If heavy vibrations, unsteady steering
behavior, or noises should occur while
driving, reduce speed and park the vehicle
in a safe place. Recheck the tire for
bumps, cracks, or other visible damage,
and recheck its inflation pressure. If the
pressure is below 19 psi (1.3 bar), do not
continue driving. Have the vehicle towed
to a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
