Changing wheels - removing wheels
The car's wheels can be changed for e.g. win-
ter wheels/winter tyres.
Spare wheel*
The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only
intended for use temporarily and must be
replaced by an ordinary wheel as soon as
possible. The car's handling may be altered
by the use of the spare wheel. The spare
wheel is smaller than the normal wheel. The
car's ground clearance is affected accord-
ingly. Pay attention to high kerbs and do not
machine wash the car. If the spare wheel is
fitted on the front axle, you cannot use snow
chains at the same time. On all-wheel drive
cars the drive on the rear axle can be discon-
nected. The spare wheel must not be
repaired.
The correct tyre pressure for the spare wheel
is stated in the tyre pressure table (p. 430).
IMPORTANT
•
Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a
spare wheel on the car.
•
The car must never be driven fitted
with more than one "Temporary
Spare" wheel.
The spare wheel is located in the spare wheel
well with the outside down. The same bolt
runs through to secure the spare wheel and
the foam block. The foam block contains all
the tools needed to change the wheels.
Taking out the spare wheel under the
cargo area floor
1. Fold up the cargo area floor, from the rear
and forwards.
2. Undo the retaining screw.
3. Lift out the foam block with its tools.
4. Lift out the spare wheel.
Removing
Set up warning triangle (p. 331) if a wheel is
replaced in trafficked location. The car and
jack* must be on a firm horizontal surface.
1. Apply the parking brake, (p. 295) and
engage reverse gear, or position P if the
car has an automatic gearbox.
WARNING
Check that the jack is not damaged, that
the threads are thoroughly lubricated and
that it is free from dirt.
NOTE
Volvo recommends only using the jack*
that belongs to the car model in question,
which is indicated on the jack's label.
The label also indicates the jack's maxi-
mum lift capacity at a specified minimum
lifting height.
2. Take out jack*, wheel wrench*, removal
tool for wheel covers* and plastic wheel
bolt cap removal tool. They will be found
in the foam block. If another jack is
selected, see Raising the car (p. 358).
Tool for removing the plastic caps on the wheel
bolts.
