The jack( Option/accessory)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 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
Cars equipped with spare tyre(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.
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.
The compressor is intended for temporary emergency puncture repair and is approved by Volvo.
The puncture repair kit is located in the foam block under the cargo area floor.
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

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.
