Changing wheels - fitting
Installation
Lower the car so that the wheels cannot rotate.
Refit any full wheel covers.
Note
Putting back the jack* and tools
The tools and jack must be returned to their correct places in the foam block after use.
Put any tools used back in their individual compartments in the foam block in the following order:
- towing eye/funnel/torx wrench/socket for locking wheel nuts/tool for wheel covers
- jack (must be cranked to the correct height so that it fits into the foam block's compartment, the handle above the foot and down in the groove in the foam block)
- socket wrench (above the jack).
If the spare wheel has been used, then the punctured wheel can be placed in the plastic bag contained in the package with the gloves. Place the foam block back in the storage compartment and tighten the mounting screw to the floor of the storage compartment.
If the spare wheel has not been used, place the foam block in the spare wheel and place the spare wheel back in the storage compartment. Tighten the attaching screw to the floor of the storage compartment.
Note
- After a tyre has been inflated, always refit the dust cap in order to avoid damage to the valve from gravel, dirt, etc.
- Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust caps can rust and become difficult to unscrew.
Important
When changing to another tyre dimension
Applies to cars with tyre pressure monitoring1: Contact an authorised Volvo workshop to update the software each time the tyre dimension is changed. A software download may be necessary both when changing to larger and smaller dimensions, and also when switching between summer and winter wheels.
