Important
- The jack included with the car is only designed for occasional, short-term use, such as when changing a wheel after a puncture. Only the jack belonging to the specific model is to be used to jack up the car. If the car is to be jacked up more often, or for a longer time than is required just to change a wheel, use of a garage jack is recommended. In this instance, follow the instructions for use that come with the equipment.
- When the jack is not in use it must be stored in its storage compartment under the cargo area floor. The jack needs to be cranked together to the correct position in order to have space.
Note
Applies to cars with level control: If the car is equipped with air suspension, this must be disabled before the car is raised.
Emergency puncture repair kit
- The emergency puncture repair kit (TMK) 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 emergency 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 damage.
Note
The compressor is intended for a temporary emergency puncture repair and is approved by Volvo.
Location
The puncture repair kit is located in the foam block under the cargo area floor.
Sealing fluid expiry date
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.
First aid kit
- The first aid kit contains first-aid equipment.
- Store the first aid kit in an appropriate place in the cargo area, e.g. in the space on the right-hand side. The first aid kit has Velcro straps and can be attached directly to the panel.
Warning triangle
- Use the warning triangle to warn other road users if the car is stationary in traffic.
- Also activate the hazard warning flashers.
Storage spaces
The warning triangle is fitted with two clips on the inside of the boot lid.
Folding up the warning triangle
- Remove the warning triangle’s case by opening both latches.
- Remove the warning triangle from the case, unfold it, and put the ends together.
- Fold out the warning triangle’s support legs.
Follow the regulations for the use of a warning triangle. Position the warning triangle in a suitable place with regard to traffic.
Replace the warning triangle with the case on the inside of the boot lid after use.
Tool kit
Tools that can be useful during towing, wheel changes, or similar are stored in the car’s cargo area.
Examples of tools.
- Jack
- Tool for removing the plastic caps from the wheel bolts
- Funnel for filling fluids
- Wheel wrench and towing eye
If the car is fitted with a spare wheel, there is a jack and a wheel bolt wrench instead of an emergency puncture repair kit.
