Wheel bolts
The wheel bolts hold the wheel in place.
CAUTION
Wheel bolts should be tightened to 103 ft.
lbs. (140 Nm). Over-tightening could damage
the threads.
Only use wheels/rims that have been tested and
approved by Volvo and are included in Volvo's
product range.
Use a torque wrench to check that the wheel
bolts are tightened correctly.
Never lubricate the wheel bolts' threads.
Locking wheel bolts*
A tool for removing locking wheel bolts can be
found in the foam block under the cargo com-
partment floor.

Snow tires and chains
The use of snow chains and/or winter tires can
help improve traction in winter driving conditions.
Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with the
following restrictions:
•
Snow chains should be installed on front
wheels only. Use only Volvo approved snow
chains.
•
If accessory, aftermarket or "custom" tires
and wheels are installed and are of a size dif-
ferent than the original tires and wheels,
chains in some cases CANNOT be used.
Sufficient clearances between chains and
brakes, suspension and body components
must be maintained.
•
Some strap-on type chains will interfere with
brake components and therefore CANNOT
be used.
•
All Wheel Drive models: Snow chains
should only be installed on the front wheels.
•
Certain size tires may not allow the assembly
of snow chains/traction devices.
Consult your Volvo retailer for additional snow
chain information.
