2023 Volvo V60 Tools and accessories
Jack
(Option/accessory)
ImportantIf a jack is included with the car, it 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 should be stored in its storage space under the cargo area floor. Crank the jack down for it to fit.
The jack needs to be cranked together to the correct position in order to have space.
NoteApplies 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
Cars equipped with spare tyres (Option/accessory) 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.
NoteThe 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.
NoteThe compressor is intended for a temporary emergency puncture repair and is approved by Volvo.
LocationThe puncture repair kit is located in the foam block under the cargo area floor.
Sealing fluid expiry dateThe 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
(Option/accessory)
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
Also activate the hazard warning flashers.
Storage spaces:The warning triangle is located in the compartment on the inside of the tailgate.
Folding up the warning triangle
- Grasp the grip on the tailgate’s panel to open the hatch for the warning triangle.
- 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.
Make sure that the warning triangle and case are properly secured in their storage space and that the hatch is fully closed after use.
Tool kit
Examples of tools that may be in the car.
- 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.
