13. As soon as possible, drive approximately
3 km at a maximum speed of 80 km/h so
that the sealing fluid can seal the tyre.
NOTE
Sealant will spurt out of the puncture dur-
ing the first few rotations of the tyre.
WARNING
Make sure that nobody is standing near
the car and gets the sealing fluid splashed
onto them when the car is driven away.
The distance should be at least two
metres.

Emergency puncture repair* -
rechecking
When a tyre has been sealed with the emer-
gency puncture repair kit, Temporary Mobility
Kit (TMK), a subsequent check must be made
after approx. 3 kilometres of driving.
Check tyre pressure
1. Reconnect the equipment.
2. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure
gauge.
•
If it is below 1.3 bar
33
then the tyre is
insufficiently sealed. The journey
should not be continued. Contact a
tyre centre.
•
If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3
bar
33
, the tyre must be inflated to the
pressure specified in accordance with
the tyre pressure table, see Tyres -
approved tyre pressures (p. 420).
Release air using the pressure reduc-
ing valve if the tyre pressure is too
high.
WARNING
Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped
with a reverse catch to prevent leakage.
3. Make sure the compressor is switched
off. Detach the air hose and cable.
Fit the valve cap.
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.
NOTE
The sealing fluid bottle and the hose must
be replaced after use. Volvo recommends
that this replacement is performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Check the tyre pressure regularly.
Volvo recommends that the car is driven to
the nearest authorised Volvo workshop for
33
1 bar = 100 kPa.
