General
The emergency puncture repair kit is used to
seal a puncture as well as to check and adjust
the tyre pressure. It consists of a compressor
and a bottle with sealing fluid. The kit works as
a temporary repair. The sealing fluid bottle
must be replaced before its expiration date and
after use.
The sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punc-
tured in the tread.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture in
the tread.
NOTE
The jack is an option on cars equipped with
emergency puncture repair kit.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
capacity to seal tyres which have punctures in
the wall. Do not seal tyres with the emergency
puncture repair kit if they have larger slits,
cracks or similar damage.
12 V-sockets for the compressor are located
by the centre console in the front, by the rear
seat and in the cargo area, see pages 60, 73
and 117. Choose the electrical socket that is
nearest the punctured tyre.
IMPORTANT
If the compressor for emergency puncture
repair is connected to one of the two sock-
ets - see pages 60 and 73 - no other current
consumer must be connected to the other
one.
NOTE
The compressor for temporary emergency
puncture repair has been tested and
approved by Volvo.
WARNING
You should not drive faster than 80 km/h
after the emergency tyre repair kit has been
used. Volvo recommends that you visit an
authorised Volvo workshop for inspection of
the sealed tyre (maximum driving distance
is 200 km). The staff there can determine
whether or not the tyre can be repaired or if
it needs to be replaced.

repair kit
The emergency puncture repair kit, with com-
pressor and tools, is located under the floor in
the cargo area.
