Tire Sealing System - Checking Inflation Pressure; Tire Sealing System* - Inflating Tires - Volvo S60 Owner's Manual

Tire sealing system – checking
inflation pressure
The tire sealing system can also be used to
check the tires' inflation pressure.
Stage 2: Checking inflation pressure
1. Connect the tire sealing system as
described in stage 1, see Tire sealing
system* – sealing hole (p. 313).
2. Refer to the inflation pressure table in this
chapter for the correct inflation pressure.
If the tire needs to be inflated, start the
tire sealing system's compressor. If nec-
essary, release air from the tire by turning
the air release knob counterclockwise.
CAUTION
The compressor should not be used for
more than 10 minutes at a time to avoid
overheating.
WARNING
If you interrupt your trip for more than 1
hour, check the inflation pressure in the
damaged tire again before continuing.
Tire sealing system* – 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 table in this
chapter for the correct inflation pressure.
If the tire needs to be inflated, start the
tire sealing system's compressor (press
the on/off switch to position I). If neces-
sary, release air from the tire by turning
the air release knob counterclockwise.
