•
Avoid driving on bare ground as this
wears out both the snow chains and
tyres.
•
Driving with snow chains may have a
negative effect on the car's driving cha-
racteristics. Avoid fast or sharp turns, as
well as braking with locked wheels.
•
Some types of chain that are firmly ten-
sioned affect brake components and
must therefore NOT be used.
You can obtain more information on snow chains
from a Volvo retailer.

Emergency puncture repair kit
The emergency puncture repair kit
5
, is used to
seal a puncture as well as to check and adjust
the air pressure in the tyre.
Cars equipped with spare tyre* do not have the
puncture repair kit.
The puncture repair kit consists of a compressor
and a bottle with sealing fluid. The sealing works
as a temporary repair.
NOTE
The sealing fluid is effective at sealing tyres
with tread punctures but has limited ability to
seal tyres with sidewall punctures. Do not use
the emergency puncture repair kit on tyres
displaying larger slits, cracks or similar dam-
age.
NOTE
The compressor is intended for temporary
emergency puncture repair and is approved
by Volvo.
Location
The puncture repair kit is located in the foam
block under the floor in the cargo area.
Sealing fluid bottle
The bottle of sealing fluid must be replaced if the
bottle's expiry date has passed (see the decal on
the bottle). Treat the old bottle as environmentally
hazardous waste.
The sealing fluid bottle must be replaced after
use. Volvo recommends that the replacement is
performed by an authorised Volvo workshop.
