speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) to distribute
the sealing compound in the tire.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), the
use of the sealing compound may lead to
incorrect tire pressure readings or in rare
cases, damage to the tire pressure sensor.
Use the tire sealing system to check and
adjust the damaged tire's inflation pres-
sure.
NOTE
•
Safely stow the tire sealing system in a
convenient place as it will soon be
used again to check the tire’s inflation
pressure.
•
The empty bottle of sealing compound
cannot be removed from the bottle
holder. Consult a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician to have the
bottle 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 pressure. 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.
Stage 2: Checking inflation pressure
1. Connect the tire sealing system as
described in stage 1.
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 nec-
essary, 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
overheating.
WARNING
If you interrupt your trip for more than 1
hour, check the inflation pressure in the
damaged tire again before continuing.
Replacing the sealing compound
container
The sealing compound container must be
replaced if:
•
the tire sealing system has been used to
repair a tire
•
the container’s expiration date has
passed (see the date on decal).
NOTE
•
After use, the sealing compound bot-
tle, the hose, and certain other system
components must be replaced. Please
