11. Switch off the compressor and unplug the

cable from the 12 V socket.

12. Detach the hose from the tyre valve and fit

the valve cap.

13. As soon as possible, drive approximately 3

km at a maximum speed of 80 km/h so that

the sealing fluid can seal the tyre.

Rechecking the repair and pressure

1. Reconnect the equipment.

2. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure

gauge.

3. If it is below 1.3 bar then the tyre is insuf-

ficiently sealed. The journey should not be

continued. Contact a tyre centre.

4. If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3 bar,

the tyre must be inflated to the pressure

specified on the tyre pressure decal.

Release air using the pressure reducing

valve if the tyre pressure is too high.

WARNING

Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped

with a reverse catch to prevent leakage.

5. Switch off the compressor. Detach the air

hose and cable. Refit the dust cap.

NOTE

The sealing fluid bottle and hose must be

replaced after use. Replacement must be

performed by an authorised Volvo work-

shop.

WARNING

Check the tyre pressure regularly.

6. Return the emergency puncture repair kit

to the cargo area.

7. Drive to the nearest authorised Volvo work-

shop for the replacement/repair of the

damaged tyre. Advise the workshop that

the tyre contains sealing fluid.

WARNING

You should not drive faster than 80 km/h

after the emergency tyre repair kit has been

used. Contact an authorised Volvo work-

shop for inspection of the sealed tyre (maxi-

mum driving distance is 200 km). The staff

there can determine whether or not the tyre

can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.

Inflating the tyres

The car's original tyres can be inflated by the

compressor.

1. The compressor must be switched off.

Make sure that the switch is in position 0

and locate the cable and air hose.

2. Unscrew the wheel's dust cap and screw

in the air hose valve connection to the bot-

tom of the thread on the tyre's air valve.

WARNING

Do not leave children in the car without

supervision when the engine is running.

WARNING

Inhaling car exhaust fumes can result in

danger to life. Never leave the engine run-

ning in sealed areas or areas that lack suf-

ficient ventilation.

3. Connect the cable to one of the car's 12 V

sockets and start the car.

4. Start the compressor by flicking the switch

to position I.
