Wheel Bolts; Spare Wheel; Winter Wheels - Volvo XC 90 Owner's Manual

Wheel bolts

Wheel bolts are used to attach the wheels to the
hubs.
IMPORTANT
The wheel bolts must be tightened to 140
Nm. Overtightening can damage the nuts and
the bolts.
Only use rims that are tested and approved by
Volvo and which are Volvo genuine accessories.
Check the tightening torque of the wheel bolts
with a torque wrench.
Locking wheel bolts*
In the foam block under the cargo area floor
there is space for the sleeve for the lockable
wheel bolts.

Spare wheel*

The spare wheel can be used to replace a punc-
tured normal wheel.
The spare wheel is stored in a bag and must be
secured with two straps on the floor of the cargo
area during driving. The backrests of the third row
of seats must be lowered.
The straps must be tensioned crosswise over the
wheel and attached in the car's four load retain-
ing eyelets.
Check the tyre pressure in the spare wheel regu-
larly as well.

WHEELS AND TYRES

Winter wheels

Winter wheels are adapted for winter road con-
ditions.
Volvo recommends winter tyres with particular
dimensions. Tyre dimensions are dependent on
engine variant. When driving on winter tyres, the
correct type of tyres must be fitted to all four
wheels.
NOTE
Contact a Volvo dealer for advice about which
wheel rim and type of tyre are most suitable.
Tips for changing to winter tyres
When summer and winter wheels are changed,
mark which side of the car they were mounted
on, for example L for left and R for right.
Studded tyres
Studded winter tyres should be run in gently for
500-1000 km so the studs settle properly into
the tyres. This gives the tyre, and especially the
studs, a longer service life.
NOTE
The legal provisions for the use of studded
tyres vary from country to country.
