12. Immediately drive the vehicle for approxi-
mately 2 miles (3 km) at a maximum speed
of 50 mph (80 km/h) to distribute the seal-
ing compound in the tire.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS), the use of
the sealing compound may lead to incorrect
tire pressure readings or in rare cases, dam-
age to the tire pressure sensor. Use the tire
sealing system to check and adjust the dam-
aged tire's inflation pressure.
NOTE
•
Safely stow the tire sealing system in a
convenient place as it will soon be used
again to check the tire’s inflation pres-
sure.
•
The empty bottle of sealing compound
cannot be removed from the bottle
holder. Consult a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician to have the bot-
tle removed and properly disposed of.
WARNING
If heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behavior,
or noises should occur while driving, reduce
speed and park the vehicle in a safe place.
Recheck the tire for bumps, cracks, or other
visible damage, and recheck its inflation pres-
sure. If the pressure is below 19 psi (1.3 bar),
do not continue driving. Have the vehicle
towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
Tire sealing system – checking
inflation pressure
The tire sealing system can also be used to
check the tires' inflation pressure.
Stage 2: Checking inflation pressure
1. Reconnect the tire sealing system's hose to
the tire's inflation valve as described in stage
1, see Tire sealing system* – sealing a hole
(p. 319).
2. Refer to the inflation pressure table in this
chapter for the correct inflation pressure. If
the tire needs to be inflated, start the tire
sealing system’s compressor. If necessary,
release air from the tire by turning the air
release knob counterclockwise.
CAUTION
The compressor should not be used for more
than 10 minutes at a time to avoid overheat-
ing.
WARNING
If you interrupt your trip for more than 1 hour,
check the inflation pressure in the damaged
tire again before continuing.
