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.
NOTE
•
After use, the sealing compound bottle,
the hose, and certain other system com-
ponents must be replaced. Please con-
sult your Volvo retailer for replacement
parts.
•
If the sealing compound bottle’s expira-
tion date has passed, please take it to a
Volvo retailer or a recycling station that
can properly dispose of harmful sub-
stances.
WARNING
Always check tire inflation pressure regularly.
Volvo recommends driving to an authorized Volvo
workshop to have the damaged tire repaired/
replaced. Inform the workshop that the tire con-
tains sealing compound.
WARNING
•
After using the tire sealing system, the
vehicle should not be driven farther than
approximately 120 miles (200 km).
•
Have the tire inspected by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician as soon
as possible to determine if it can be per-
manently repaired or must be replaced.
•
The vehicle should not be driven faster
than 50 mph (80 km/h) while using a tire
that has been temporarily repaired with
the tire sealing system.
•
After using the tire sealing system, drive
carefully and avoid abrupt steering
maneuvers and sudden stops.

Inflating a tire with the tire sealing
system compressor
The compressor can be used to inflate a tire.
1. The compressor should be switched off.
Ensure that the on/off switch is in position 0.
Take out the electrical wire and hose.
2. Be sure the air release valve on the com-
pressor's hose is completely closed. Remove
the valve cap from the tire’s inflation valve
and screw the hose connector onto the valve
as tightly as possible by hand.
3. Connect the electrical wire to the nearest
12-volt socket in the vehicle and start the
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 unattended
in the vehicle when the engine is running.
4. Start the compressor by pressing the on/off
switch to position I.
