ber latex, natural and 2) ethanediol.
These substances are harmful if swal-
lowed.

•

The contents of this bottle may cause
allergic skin reactions or otherwise be
potentially harmful to the respiratory
tract, the skin, the central nervous sys-
tem, and the eyes.

Precautions:

•

Store out of the reach of children.

the upper and lower eyelids. Get medi-
cal attention if symptoms occur.

•

Inhalation: Move the exposed person
to fresh air. If irritation persists, get
medical attention.

•

Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting
unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Get medical attention.

•

Disposal: Dispose of this material and
its container at a hazardous or special
waste collection point.

WARNING

Do not remove the bottle or air hose when

the puncture repair kit is being used.

Preparations

Set up the warning triangle and activate
the hazard warning lights if a tyre is being
sealed in a trafficked location.

If the puncture was caused by a nail or
similar, allow this to remain in the tyre. It
helps to seal the hole.

2. Detach the decal for maximum permitted

speed that is affixed on one side of the
compressor. Affix it visibly on the wind-
screen as a reminder to observe the speed
limit. You should not drive faster than
80 km/h (50 mph) after the emergency
tyre repair kit has been used.

3. Check that the switch is in position

(Off), and locate the electrical cable and
the air hose.

4. Unscrew the orange-coloured cap from

the compressor, and unscrew the cork
from the sealing fluid bottle.

5. Screw in the bottle to the bottom of the

bottle holder.

The bottle and the bottle holder are equip-
ped with a reverse catch to prevent seal-
ant leakage. When the bottle is screwed in
it cannot be unscrewed from the bottle
holder again. The bottle must be removed
at a workshop

WARNING

Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped

with a reverse catch to prevent leakage.

6. Unscrew the tyre's dust cap and screw in

the air hose's valve connection to the bot-
tom of the thread on the tyre's air valve.

Check that the pressure reducing valve on
the air hose is fully screwed in.

Begin puncture repair

Connect the electrical cable to the closest
12 V socket and start the car.

Make sure that none of the other 12 V
sockets is in use when the compressor is
operating.

WARNING

Do not leave children in the car without

supervision when the engine is running.

WARNING

Inhaling car exhaust fumes could result in

danger to life. Never leave the engine run-

ning in sealed areas or areas that lack suffi-

cient ventilation.

An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

8. Start the compressor by flicking the

switch to position

(On).

When the compressor starts, the pressure
can increase up to 6 bar (88 psi), but the
pressure drops after about 30 seconds.

WARNING

Never stand next to the tyre when the

compressor is running. If cracks or uneven-

ness arise then the compressor must be

switched off immediately. The journey

should not be continued. Call roadside

assistance for recovery to a tyre centre.

Volvo recommends an authorised tyre cen-

tre.

9. Inflate the tyre for 7 minutes.

The compressor must not be operated for
longer than 10 minutes - risk of overheat-
ing.

10. Switch off the compressor to check the

pressure on the pressure gauge. Minimum
pressure is 1.8 bar (22 psi) and maximum
is 3.5 bar (51 psi). Release air using the
pressure reducing valve if the tyre pres-
sure is too high.

WARNING

If the pressure is below 1.8 bar (22 psi)

then the hole in the tyre is too big. The jour-

ney should not be continued. Call roadside

assistance for recovery to a tyre centre.

Volvo recommends an authorised tyre cen-

tre.

11. Switch off the compressor and detach the

electrical cable.

12. Unscrew the air hose from the tyre valve

and refit the dust cap on the tyre.

•

After a tyre has been inflated, always
refit the dust cap in order to avoid dam-
age to the valve from gravel, dirt, etc.

•

Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust
caps can rust and become difficult to
unscrew.

13. Fit the protective cap on the air hose in

order to avoid leakage of the remaining
sealing fluid. Place the equipment in the
cargo area.

14. As soon as possible, drive at least 3 km

(2 miles) at a maximum speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph) so that the sealing fluid can seal
the tyre, and then perform a follow-up
check.

WARNING

Sealant will spurt out of the puncture dur-

ing the first few rotations of the tyre. Make

sure that nobody is standing near the car

and gets the sealing fluid splashed onto

them when the car is driven away. The dis-

tance should be at least 2 metres (7 feet).

15.

Follow-up inspection

Connect the air hose on the tyre valve and
screw in the valve connection to the bot-
tom of the tyre valve's thread. The com-
pressor must be switched off.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure

gauge.

•

If it is below 1.3 bar (19 psi) then the
tyre is insufficiently sealed. The journey
should not be continued. Call roadside
assistance for recovery.

•

If the tyre pressure is higher than
1.3 bar (19 psi), the tyre must be infla-
ted to the pressure specified in accord-
ance with the tyre pressure label on the
driver's side door pillar (1 bar = 100 kPa
= 14.5 psi). Release air using the pres-
sure reducing valve if the tyre pressure
is too high.

WARNING

Check the tyre pressure regularly.

Volvo recommends that the car is driven to the
nearest authorised Volvo workshop for the
replacement/repair of the damaged tyre.
Advise the workshop that the tyre contains
sealing fluid.

The sealing fluid bottle and hose must be
replaced after use. Volvo recommends that
these replacements be performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop.

WARNING

Maximum mileage with tyres containing

sealing fluid is 200 km (120 miles).

Using electrical sockets

12 V sockets can be used for various acces-
sories designed for this, such as music play-
ers, cooler boxes and mobile phones.

For the sockets to supply current, the car's
electrical system must be set in the lowest
ignition position

. The sockets are then active

as long as the starter battery level does not
become too low.

If the engine is switched off and the car is
locked, the sockets are deactivated. If the
engine is switched off and the car is not
locked, or is locked with double lock tempo-
rarily deactivated, then the sockets continue to
be active for a further seven minutes.

Remember that use of the electrical socket
with the engine switched off entails a risk
of discharging the starter battery, which
can limit functionality.

Accessories that are connected to the elec-
trical sockets may be activated even when
the car's electrical system is disconnected
or if preconditioning is used. For this rea-
son, disconnect the connectors when they
are not in use in order to avoid the starter
battery being discharged.

WARNING

•

Do not use accessories with large or
heavy connectors - they can damage
the socket or come loose when driving.

•

Do not use accessories that can cause
interference to the car's radio receiver
or electrical system for example.

•

Position the accessory so that it is not
at risk of injuring the driver or passen-
gers in the event of heavy braking or
collision.

•

Keep an eye on connected accessories
as they can generate heat that can
burn passengers or the interior.

Using 12 V sockets

1. Remove the blanking plug (tunnel con-

sole) or fold down the cover (cargo area)
in front of the socket and plug in the
accessory's connector.

2. Unplug the accessory's connector and

refit the blanking plug (tunnel console) or
fold up the cover (cargo area) when the
socket is not in use or if the socket is left
unattended.

Recommendations for loading

There are a number of things that are impor-
tant to bear in mind when loading the car.

Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The
total of the weight of the passengers and all
accessories reduces the car's payload by a
corresponding weight.

WARNING

The car’s driving properties change

depending on the weight and positioning

of the load.

Loading in the cargo area

Good things to remember when loading:

•

Position the load firmly against the rear
seat's backrest.

•

Heavy objects should be placed as low as
possible. Avoid placing heavy loads on
lowered backrests.

•

Cover sharp edges with something soft to
avoid damaging the upholstery.

•

Secure all loads to the load retaining eye-
lets with straps or web lashings.

WARNING

A loose object weighing 20 kg (44 pounds)

can, in a frontal collision at a speed of

50 km/h (30 mph) carry the impact of an

item weighing 1000 kg (2200 pounds).

WARNING

Leave 10 cm (4 inches) space between the

load and the side windows if the car is loa-

ded to above the top edge of the door win-

dows. Otherwise, the intended protection

of the inflatable curtain, which is concealed

in the headlining, may be compromised.

WARNING

Always secure the load. During heavy brak-

ing the load may otherwise shift, causing

injury to the car's occupants.
Cover sharp edges and sharp corners with

something soft.
Switch off the engine and apply the park-

ing brake when loading/unloading long

items. Otherwise you may accidentally

knock the gear lever or gear selector with

the load into a drive position - and the car

could then move off.

Increasing the space in the cargo area

To expand the cargo area and simplify loading,
the rear seat's backrest can be lowered

. Note

that objects must not prevent the function of
the WHIPS system for the front seats if any of
the rear seat's backrests is folded down.

A through-load hatch

in the rear seat can be

folded down for carrying long and narrow
loads.

Roof load and loading on load

carriers

For loading on the car's roof, the load carriers
that Volvo have developed are recommended.

This is in order to avoid damage to the car and
in order to achieve the maximum possible
safety during a journey. Volvo's load carriers
are available for purchase at authorised Volvo
retailers.

Carefully follow the installation instructions
supplied with the carriers.

•

Distribute the load evenly over the load
carriers. Put the heaviest objects at the
bottom.

•

Check periodically that the load carriers
and load are properly secured. Lash the
load securely with retaining straps.

•

If the load is longer than the car at the
front, e.g. a canoe or kayak, fit the towing
eye to its front socket and attach the bun-
gee to this.

•

The size of the area exposed to the wind,
and therefore fuel consumption, increase
with the size of the load.

•

Drive gently. Avoid quick acceleration,
heavy braking and hard cornering.

WARNING

The car's centre of gravity and driving cha-

racteristics are altered by roof loads.
Follow the car's specifications with regard

to weights and maximum permitted load.
