4. Tighten the wheel bolts crosswise. It is impor-
tant that the wheel bolts are tightened prop-
erly. Tighten to 140 Nm (103 ft.lbs.). Check
the tightening torque with a torque wrench.
5. Refit the plastic caps on the wheel bolts.
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.

Wheel bolts
Wheel bolts are used to attach the wheels to the
hubs.
IMPORTANT
The wheel bolts must be tightened to
140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.). Overtightening or loose
tightening may 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.
Do not use lubricant on the threads of the wheel
bolts.
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, the Temporary spare type, can
be used to temporarily replace a punctured nor-
mal wheel.
The spare wheel is located under the cargo area
floor and is attached by two straps. The foam
block contains all tools for changing a wheel, see
the section "Tool kit".
The car's handling may be altered by the use of
the spare wheel. The spare wheel must be
replaced by a normal wheel as soon as possible.
The spare wheel is smaller than the regular
wheel, which will affect the car's ground clear-
ance. Pay attention to high kerbs and do not
machine wash the car.
