18. Remove the tyre sealing equipment.
Fit the protective cap on the air hose in order
to avoid leakage of the remaining sealing
fluid.
WARNING
Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped with
a reverse catch to prevent leakage.
19. Refit the dust cap on the tyre.
NOTE
•
After a tyre has been inflated, always refit
the dust cap in order to avoid damage to
the valve from gravel, dirt, etc.
•
Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust
caps can rust and become difficult to
unscrew.

The sealing fluid bottle and the hose must be
replaced after use. Volvo recommends that
this replacement is performed by an author-
ised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Check the tyre pressure regularly.
Volvo recommends that the car is driven to the
nearest authorised Volvo workshop for the
replacement/repair of the damaged tyre. Advise
the workshop that the tyre contains sealing fluid.
WARNING
•
You should not drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph) after the emergency tyre repair
kit has been used.
•
Maximum mileage with tyres containing
sealing fluid is 200 km (120 miles).

Volvo recommends visiting an authorised
Volvo workshop as soon as possible for
inspection of the sealed tyre. The staff
there can determine whether or not the
tyre can be repaired or if it needs to be
replaced.
