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, 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.
NoteThis 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 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.
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.
NoteThe 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 behind the elastic strap, if the car is equipped with one of these.
