Introduction
Certain models are equipped with a tire sealing system that enables you to temporarily seal a hole in the tread surface and re-inflate a flat tire, or to adjust a tire’s inflation pressure.
The system consists of an air compressor, a container for the sealing compound, wiring to connect the system to the vehicle’s electrical system via one of the 12-volt sockets, and a hose used to connect the system to the tire’s inflation valve.
The 12-volt sockets are located on the rear side of the center console (in the rear seat) and in the cargo area.
Accessing the tire sealing system
The tire sealing system is stowed under the floor of the cargo area. To access it:
1. Fold up or remove any protective floor covering
or carpet.
2. Open the floor hatch.
3. Lift out the tire sealing system.
NOTE
• The tire sealing system is only intended
to seal holes on the tire’s tread area, not
the sidewall.
• Tires with large holes or tears cannot be
repaired with the tire sealing system.
• After use, stow the tire sealing system
properly to help prevent rattling.
WARNING
• After using the tire sealing system, the
vehicle should not be driven farther than
approximately 120 miles (200 km).
• Have the tire inspected by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician as
soon as possible to determine if it can
be permanently repaired or must be
replaced.
• The vehicle should not be driven faster
than 50 mph (80 km/h) while using a tire
that has been temporarily repaired with
the tire sealing system.
• After using the tire sealing system, drive
carefully and avoid abrupt steering
maneuvers and sudden stops.
