2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric Tools and accessories Owners Manual

Important

• If 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, the 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.

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 tires 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 emergency puncture repair kit is located in the foam block under the cargo area floor under the bonnet.

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 a suitable place in the cargo area.

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 located in the compartment on the inside of the tailgate.

Folding up the warning triangle

1. Open the hatch by first turning the knob a quarter turn and then pulling the hatch from its brackets in the top and bottom edges.
   Press the latch that secures the warning triangle slightly to the right and remove the case.
2. Remove the warning triangle from the case, unfold it, and put the ends together.
3. 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

Tools that can be useful during towing, wheel changes or similar are stored in the car’s storage compartments. The jack and wheel bolt wrench are stored in their space in the car’s cargo area. There is space for other tools to be stored in the storage compartment under the bonnet.

Examples of tools that may be in the car.

1. Jack
2. Tool for removing the plastic caps from the wheel bolts
3. Emergency puncture repair kit
4. 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.
