Using snow chains
Snow chains may only be used on the front
wheels (also applies to all-wheel drive cars).
Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snow
chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as this
wears out both the snow chains and tyres.
WARNING
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiva-
lent chains designed for the car model,
and tyre and rim dimensions. In the event
of uncertainty Volvo recommends that you
consult an authorised Volvo workshop.
The wrong snow chains may cause serious
damage to your car and lead to an acci-
dent.

Spare wheel*
A spare wheel (Temporary spare) is used to
temporarily replace a punctured normal
wheel.
A spare wheel is only intended for use tempo-
rarily and must be replaced by an normal
wheel as soon as possible. The car's handling
may be altered by the use of a spare wheel.
The spare wheel is smaller than the normal
wheel. The car's ground clearance is affected
accordingly. 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 disconnected. The spare wheel must not
be repaired. The correct tyre pressure for the
spare wheel is stated in the tyre pressure
table, Tyres - air pressure (p. 313).
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.
