Tire Sealing System

WARNING

•

Never stand next to the tire being inflated

when the compressor is in operation.

•

If cracks, bubbles, etc. form on the tire,

switch off the compressor immediately.

•

If there is visible damage to the sidewall

or the rim, the tire cannot be repaired.

The vehicle should not be driven if this

occurs. Contact a towing service or

Volvo On Call Roadside Assistance if

applicable.

NOTE

The air pressure gauge will temporarily

show an increase in pressure to approxi-

mately 88 psi (6 bar) while the sealing com-

pound is being pumped into the tire. The

pressure should return to a normal level

after approximately 30 seconds.

10. Within seven minutes, inflate the tire to

between 22—44 psi (1.8—3.0 bar). Switch

off the compressor briefly to get a clear

reading from the pressure gauge.

CAUTION

The compressor should not be used for

more than 10 minutes at a time to avoid

overheating.

WARNING

If the pressure remains below 22 psi

(1.8 bar) after approximately seven minutes,

turn off the compressor. In this case, the

hole is too large to be sealed and the vehicle

should not be driven.

11. Switch off the compressor and disconnect

the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket.

12. Unscrew the hose from the tire’s inflation

valve and reinstall the valve cap.

13. Immediately drive the vehicle for approxi-

mately 2 miles (3 km) at a maximum speed

of 50 mph (80 km/h) to distribute the seal-

ing compound in the tire.

CAUTION

If your vehicle is equipped with the Tire

Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), the

use of the sealing compound may lead to

incorrect tire pressure readings or in rare

cases, damage to the tire pressure sensor.

Use the tire sealing system to check and

adjust the damaged tire's inflation pressure.

NOTE

•

Safely stow the tire sealing system in a

convenient place as it will soon be used

again to check the tire’s inflation pres-

sure.

•

The empty bottle of sealing compound

cannot be removed from the bottle

holder. Consult a trained and qualified

Volvo service technician to have the

bottle removed and properly disposed

of.
