2022 Volvo XC40 Tools and accessories
Jack
The jack can be used to raise the car, for example, to change a wheel.
ImportantThe 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, 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 must be stored in its storage space under the cargo area floor. The jack needs to be cranked together to the correct position in order to have space.
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 tyres do not have an 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.
