different-sized wheels can cause serious
damage to the car's transmission.

Handling the spare wheel*
Follow these instructions for handling the
spare wheel.
The illustration is generic and appearance may differ.
The spare wheel is stored in a bag and must
be secured with two straps on the floor of the
cargo area while driving. The straps must be
tensioned crosswise over the wheel and
attached in the car's four load retaining eye-
lets.
Tools for changing wheels are located under
the cargo area floor.

Winter tyres
Winter tyres are adapted for winter road con-
ditions.
Volvo recommends winter tyres with particu-
lar dimensions. Tyre dimensions are depend-
ent on engine variant. When driving on winter
tyres, the correct type of tyres must be fitted
to all four wheels.
Tips for changing to winter tyres
When summer and winter wheels are
changed, mark which side of the car they were
mounted on, for example L for left and R for
right.
Contact a Volvo dealer for advice about which
wheel rim and tyre types are most suitable.
Studded tyres
Studded winter tyres should be run in gently
for 5001000 km (300600 miles), so the
studs settle properly into the tyres. This gives
the tyre, and especially the studs, a longer
service life.
NOTE
Laws regarding the use of studded tyres
may vary. Always follow local laws and
regulations.
Tread depth
Road conditions with ice, slush and low tem-
peratures place considerably higher demands
