Lockable wheel nut
If steel wheels with lockable wheel nuts are used in combination with wheel covers, the lockable wheel
nut must be fitted to the stud nearest the air valve. The wheel cover cannot otherwise be installed on the
wheel.

The arrow shows the direction of rotation of the tire
Summer and winter tires
● When switching between summer and winter tires, mark the tires to indicate where they were
mounted on the car, e.g. LF = left front, RR = right rear
● Tires with tread designed to roll in only one direction are marked with an arrow on the sidewall.
● Incorrectly mounted tires impair the car's braking properties and ability to force aside rain, snow and
slush.
● The tires with the most tread should always be at the rear (to reduce the risk of skidding).
● Contact a Volvo workshop if you are unsure about the tread depth.
