Manual gearbox Overheating When driving with a trailer in hilly terrain in a hot climate there may be a risk of overheating. • Do not run the engine at higher revolutions than 4500 rpm (diesel engines: 3500 rpm) - otherwise the oil temperature may become too high. 278 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. Diesel engine 5-cyl • In the event of a risk of overheating the optimal speed for the engine is 2300-3000 rpm for optimal circulation of the coolant. Automatic gearbox Overheating When driving with a trailer in hilly terrain in a hot climate there may be a risk of overheating. • An automatic gearbox selects the optimum gear related to load and engine speed. • In the event of overheating a warning sym- bol illuminates on the instrument panel combined with a text message - follow the recommendation given. Steep inclines • Do not lock the automatic transmission in a higher gear than the engine "can cope with" - it is not always a good idea to drive at a high gear with low engine revolutions. IMPORTANT See also the specific information on slow driving with trailer for cars with the Powershift automatic transmission on page 119. Parking on a hill 1. Depress the foot brake. 2. Activate the parking brake. 3. Move the gear selector to position P. 4. Release the foot brake. • Move the gear selector to park position P when parking an automatic car with a hitched trailer. Always use the parking brake. • Block the wheels with chocks when park- ing a car with hitched trailer on a hill. Starting on a hill 1. Depress the foot brake. 2. Move the gear selector to driving posi- tion D. 3. Release the parking brake. 4. Release the foot brake and start driving off. Towing bracket If the car is equipped with a detachable towbar, the installation instructions for the loose sec- tion must be followed carefully, see page 281. 06 During your journey Driving with a trailer WARNING If the car is fitted with a Volvo detachable towbar: • Follow the installation instructions care- fully. • The detachable section must be locked with the key before setting off. • Check that the indicator window shows green. Important checks • The towbar's towball must be cleaned and greased regularly. NOTE If a towball hitch with vibration damper is used, it is not necessary to grease the tow- ball. 06 `` 279 06 During your journey Driving with a trailer Storing the detachable towbar Specifications Towbar storage space.

WARNING Be sure to attach the trailer's safety cable to the correct place. 06 IMPORTANT Only grease in the ball for the towing hitch, the remainder of the towbar should be clean and dry. Removing the towbar Push in the locking wheel anticlockwise and turn it until you hear a click. Turn the locking wheel down fully, until it comes to a stop. Hold it in this position while pulling the towbar rearward and upward. WARNING Insert the key and turn it clockwise to the unlocked position. Secure the towbar safely if it is stored in the car, see page 280. 282 • Car with trailer subjected to a sudden and powerful side wind. • Car with trailer drives on an uneven road surface or in a pothole. • Sweeping steering wheel movements. Operation If snaking has started, it could be difficult or even impossible to suppress. This makes the car/trailer combination difficult to control and there is a risk that you could, for example, end up in the wrong lane or leave the carriageway. TSA system continually monitors car move- ments, particularly lateral movements. If snak- ing is detected, the front wheels are individually braked. This serves to stabilise the car/trailer combination. This is often enough to help the driver regain control of the car. If snaking is not eliminated the first time the TSA system comes into action, the car/trailer combination is braked with all wheels and engine power is reduced. Once snaking has been gradually suppressed and the car/trailer combination is once again stable, the TSA sys- tem stops regulating and the driver once again has full control of the car. Miscellaneous The TSA system can engage within the speed interval 60 to 160 km/h. Push the protective cover until it snaps tight. Trailer Stability Assist - TSA The TSA system (Trailer Stability Assist) serves to stabilise the car and trailer combination if it begins to snake. The TSA function is part of the DSTC system (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control), see page 164. Function The snaking phenomenon can occur with any car/trailer combination. Normally, snaking occurs at extremely high speeds. But, there is a risk of it occurring at lower speeds (70-90 km/h) if the trailer is overloaded or the load is improperly distributed, e.g. too far back. In order for snaking to occur, there must be a triggering factor, e.g.: 06 During your journey Driving with a trailer NOTE TSA is deactivated if the driver selects Sport mode, see page 164. TSA may fail to engage if the driver uses severe steering wheel movements to try to rectify the snaking because in such a situation the TSA system cannot determine whether it is the trailer or the driver that is causing the snaking. The DSTC symbol in the combined instrument panel flashes when the TSA is working. 06 283 06 During your journey Towing and recovery Towing Find out the highest legal speed for towing before towing the car. 1. Press the remote control key into the igni- tion switch to unlock the steering lock so that the car can be steered, see page 81. 2. The remote control key must remain in the ignition switch while the car is being towed. 3. Keep the towline taut when the towing vehicle reduces speed by holding your foot gently pressed on the brake pedal - thereby avoiding unnecessary jerking. 4. Be prepared to brake to stop. WARNING • The steering lock must be unlocked before towing. • The remote control key must be in key position II. • Never remove the remote control key from the ignition switch while driving or when the car is being towed. 06 284 WARNING IMPORTANT The brake servo and power steering do not work when the engine is switched off. The brake pedal must be pressed about five times harder than normal, and the steering will be considerably heavier than normal. Manual gearbox ± Move gear lever into neutral and release the parking brake. Automatic gearbox, Geartronic IMPORTANT Note that the car must always be towed with the wheels rolling forward. • Cars with automatic gearbox must not be towed at speeds above 80 km/h or further than 80 km. ± Move the gear selector to position N and release the parking brake. Automatic gearbox, Powershift The 2.0T with Powershift automatic transmis- sion should not be towed as the transmission is dependent on the engine running in order to receive sufficient lubrication. Avoid towing. • However, the car can be towed for a short distance at low speed to move it from a dangerous position - not further than 10 km and not faster than 10 km/h. Note that the car must always be towed with the wheels rolling for- ward. • In the event of moving a longer distance than 10 km, the car must be transported with the drive wheels raised from the road - professional recovery is recom- mended. ± Move the gear selector to position N and release the parking brake. Jump starting Do not tow the car to bump start the engine. Use a donor battery if the battery is discharged and the engine does not start, see page 115. IMPORTANT Bump starting the car can damage the cat- alytic converter. Towing eye The towing eye is screwed into a threaded socket behind a cover on the right-hand side of the bumper, front or rear. Attaching the towing eye Take out the towing eye that is located under the floor hatch in the cargo area. 06 During your journey Towing and recovery NOTE On certain cars with towbar fitted the towing eye cannot be attached in the rear bracket. Attach the towrope in the towbar. For this reason it is advisable to store the detachable towbar's towball in the car. Recovery Call a recovery service for recovery assistance. IMPORTANT Note that the car must always be transpor- ted with the wheels rolling forward. • An All Wheel Drive car (AWD) with raised front suspension must not be towed at speeds above 70 km/h. It should not be towed further than 50 km. The cover for the towing eye's attachment point is available in two variants which must be opened in different ways: • Open the variant with a recess using a coin or similar inserted in the recess, turning it outwards. Then turn out the cover completely and remove it. • The second variant has a marking along one side or in a corner: Press the mark- ing with a finger and fold out the oppo- site side/corner at the same time using a coin or similar - the cover turns around its axis and can then be removed. Screw the towing eye right in up to its flange. Turn in the towing eye firmly e.g. using the wheel wrench. After use, unscrew the towing eye and return it to its place. Finish by refitting the cover onto the bumper. IMPORTANT The towing eye is only designed for towing on roads - not for pulling the car unstuck or out of a ditch. Call a recovery service for recovery assistance. 06 285 General ................................................................................................. 288 Changing wheels .................................................................................. 292 Tyre pressure ....................................................................................... 295 Warning triangle and first-aid kit*.......................................................... 296 Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS)*........................................................ 297 Emergency puncture repair (TMK) ....................................................... 299 286 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. WHEELS AND TYRES 07 Wheels and tyres General Driving characteristics Tyres greatly affect the car's driving characte- ristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre pres- sure and speed rating are important for how the car performs. Direction of rotation The arrow shows the tyre's direction of rotation. Tyres with a tread pattern which are designed to only turn in one direction have the direction of rotation marked with an arrow. The tyre must always rotate in the same direction throughout its lifespan. Tyres should only be switched between front and rear positions, never between left and right-hand sides, or vice versa. If the tyres are fitted incorrectly, the car's braking characteristics and capacity to force rain and slush out of the way are adversely affected. 07 288 Tyres with the greatest tread depth should always be fitted to the rear of the car (to decrease the risk of skidding). New tyres NOTE Ensure that tyres of the same type and dimensions, and also the same make, are fitted to all four wheels. Follow the recommended tyre pressures specified in the tyre pressure table, see page 358. Tyre care Tyre age All tyres older than 6 years old should be checked by an expert even if they seem undamaged. Tyres age and decompose, even if they are hardly ever or never used. The func- tion can therefore be affected. This applies to all tyres that are stored for future use. Exam- ples of external signs which indicate that the tyre is unsuitable for use are cracks or discol- oration. Tyres are perishable. After a few years they begin to harden at the same time as the friction capacity/characteristics gradually deteriorate. For this reason, aim to get as fresh tyres as possible when you replace them. This is espe- cially important with regard to winter tyres. The last four digits in the sequence mean the week and year of manufacture. This is the tyre's DOT marking (Department of Transportation), and this is stated with four digits, for example 1510. The tyre in the illustration was manufac- tured in week 15 of 2010. Summer and winter tyres When summer and winter wheels are changed the wheels should be marked with which side of the car they were mounted on, for example L for left and R for right. Wear and maintenance The correct tyre pressure results in more even wear, see page 295. Driving style, tyre pres- sure, climate and road condition affect how quickly your tyres age and wear. To avoid dif- ferences in tread depth and to prevent wear patterns arising, the front and rear wheels can be switched with each other. A suitable dis- tance for the first change is approx. 5000 km and then at 10 000 km intervals. Volvo recom- mends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop for checking if you are uncertain about tread depth. If significant differences in wear (>1 mm difference in tread depth) between tyres have already occurred, the least worn tyres must always be placed on the rear. Understeer is normally easier to correct than oversteer, and leads to the car continuing for- wards in a straight line rather than having the rear end skidding to one side, resulting in pos- sible complete loss of control over the car. This is why it is important for the rear wheels never to lose grip before the front wheels. Wheels should be stored lying down or hanging up - and not standing up. WARNING A damaged tyre can lead to loss of control of the car. Tyres with tread wear indicators 07 Wheels and tyres General Only use rims that are tested and approved by Volvo and which are Volvo genuine accesso- ries. Check the torque with a torque wrench. Locking wheel bolts* Locking wheel bolts* can be used on both alu- minium and steel rims. Under the cargo area floor there is space for the sleeve for the lock- able wheel bolts. Tools Tread wear indicators. Tread wear indicators are narrow treadless bands across the width of the tread. On the side of the tyre are the letters TWI (Tread Wear Indicator). When the tyre's tread depth is down to 1.6 mm, the tread depth will be level in height with the tread wear indicators. Change to new tyres as soon as possible. Remember that tyres with little tread depth provide very poor grip in rain and snow. Rims and wheel bolts IMPORTANT The wheel bolts must be tightened to 140 Nm. Overtightening can damage the nuts and the bolts. Located under the cargo area floor are the car's towing eye, jack* and wheel wrench*. There is also space for the sleeve for the lock- able wheel bolts. 07 Jack* The jack's thread must always be well greased. * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 289 `` 07 Wheels and tyres General Tools - returning into place The tools and jack* must be returned to their correct places after use. The jack needs to be cranked together to the correct position in order to have space. IMPORTANT The tools and jack* must be stored in the intended location in the car's cargo area when not in use. Winter tyres Volvo recommends winter tyres with particular dimensions. Tyre dimensions are dependent on engine variant. When driving on winter tyres, the correct type of tyres must be fitted to all four wheels. NOTE Volvo recommends that you consult a Volvo dealer about which wheel rim and tyre types are most suitable. Studded tyres Studded winter tyres should be run in gently for 500-1000 km so the studs settle properly into the tyres. This gives the tyre, and especially the studs, a longer service life. 07 NOTE The legal provisions for the use of studded tyres vary from country to country. Tread depth Road conditions with ice, slush and low tem- peratures place considerably higher demands on tyres than summer conditions. Volvo there- fore recommends not to drive on winter tyres that have a tread depth of less than 4 millime- tres. Using snow chains Snow chains may only be used on the front wheels (also applies to all-wheel drive cars). Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snow chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as this wears out both the snow chains and tyres. WARNING Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiva- lent chains designed for the car model, and tyre and rim dimensions. In the event of uncertainty Volvo recommends that you consult an authorised Volvo workshop. The wrong snow chains may cause serious damage to your car and lead to an accident. Specifications The car has whole vehicle approval. This means that certain combinations of wheels and tyres are approved. For the permissible com- binations, see page 357 Wheel (rim) dimensions Wheels (rims) have a designation of dimen- sions, for example: 7Jx16x50. 16 50 Rim width in inches Rim flange profile Rim diameter in inches Off-set in mm (dis- tance from wheel centre to wheel con- tact surface against the hub) Tyre dimensions The dimensions are stated on all car tyres. Example of designation: 215/55R16 97W. 215 Tyre width (mm) 55 Ratio between tyre wall height and tyre width (%) Radial ply 290 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 16 97 Rim diameter in inches (") Codes for the maximum permitted tyre load, tyre load index (LI) W Speed rating for maximum permitted speed, speed rating (SS). (In this case 270 km/h). Load index Each tyre has a certain capacity to carry a load, a load index (LI). The car's weight determines the load capacity required of the tyres. Mini- mum permitted index is specified in the table, see page 357. Speed ratings Each tyre can withstand a certain maximum speed, a speed rating (Speed Symbol; SS). Tyre speed class must at least correspond with the car's top speed. Minimum permitted speed rating is specified in the table, see page 357. The only exception to these conditions is win- ter tyres (both those with metal studs and those without), where a lower speed rating may be used. If such a tyre is chosen, the car must not be driven faster than the speed rating of the tyre (for example, class Q can be driven at a maximum of 160 km/h). Traffic regulations determine how fast a car can be driven, not the speed rating of the tyres. NOTE It is the maximum permitted speed that is stated in the table. Q 160 km/h (used only on winter tyres) 190 km/h H 210 km/h 240 km/h W 270 km/h 300 km/h WARNING The car must be fitted with tyres which have the same or a higher load index (LI) and speed rating (SS) than specified. If a tyre with too low a load index or speed rating is used, it may overheat. 07 Wheels and tyres General 07 291 07 Wheels and tyres Changing wheels Removing Set up the warning triangle, see page 296 if a wheel must be replaced at a busy location. The car and jack* must be on a firm horizontal sur- face. 1. Apply the parking brake and engage reverse gear, or position P if the car has an automatic gearbox. WARNING Check that the jack is not damaged, that the threads are thoroughly lubricated and that it is free from dirt. NOTE Volvo recommends only using the jack* that belongs to the car model in question, which is indicated on the jack's label. The label also indicates the jack's maximum lift capacity at a specified minimum lifting height. and pull off any full-wheel hubcaps. Alter- natively, the hubcaps can be pulled away by hand. 4. Place chocks in front of and behind the wheels which will remain on the ground. Use heavy wooden blocks or large stones for example. 5. Screw together the towing eye with the wheel wrench* until the stop position as illustrated below. 07 2. Take out the jack*, wheel wrench* and removal tool for hubcaps* located under the cargo floor in the cargo area. If another jack is selected, see page 306. 3. Cars with steel wheel rims have detachable hubcaps. Use the removal tool to hook in 292 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. IMPORTANT The towing eye must be screwed into all threads in the wheel bolt wrench. 6. Loosen the wheel bolts ½-1 turn anticlock- wise with the wheel wrench. WARNING Never position anything between the ground and the jack, nor between the jack and the car's jacking point. 7. There are two jacking points on each side of the car. There is a recess in the plastic cover at each point. Crank the foot of the jack down so it is pressed squarely on the ground. 3. Lower the car so that the wheels cannot rotate. IMPORTANT The ground must be firm, smooth and level. 8. Lift the car so that the wheel is free. Remove the wheel bolts and lift off the wheel. Installation 1. Clean the contact surfaces between wheel and hub. 2. Put on the wheel. Tighten the wheel bolts thoroughly. 4. Tighten the wheel bolts crosswise. It is important that the wheel bolts are tight- ened properly. Tighten to 140 Nm. Check the torque with a torque wrench. 5. Refit any full hubcaps. NOTE The wheel cover outlet for the valve must be positioned over the valve on the wheel rim during fitting. 07 Wheels and tyres Changing wheels WARNING Never crawl under the car when it is raised on the jack. Passengers must leave the car when it is raised on the jack. Park the car so that passengers have the car - or preferably a crash barrier - between them and the road. Spare wheel* The spare wheel* is supplied in a bag which must be strapped in the cargo area during the journey. Complete information is delivered together with the spare wheel. Read the instructions included with the tyre bag. The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only intended for use temporarily and must be replaced by an ordinary wheel as soon as pos- sible. The car's handling may be altered by the use of the spare wheel. The spare wheel is smaller than the normal wheel. The car's ground clearance is affected accordingly. Pay attention to high kerbs and do not machine wash the car. If the spare wheel is fitted on the front axle, you cannot use snow chains at the same time. On all-wheel drive cars the drive on the rear axle can be disconnected. The spare wheel must not be repaired. The correct tyre 07 `` * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 293 07 Wheels and tyres Changing wheels pressure for the spare wheel is stated in the tyre pressure table, see page 358. IMPORTANT Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a spare wheel on the car. IMPORTANT The car must never be driven fitted with more than one temporary spare wheel. Taking out the spare wheel: 1. Loosen the straps, lift out the spare wheel from the cargo area and remove it from the spare wheel bag. 2. Fold up the cargo area floor. 3. Lift the tools and jack out from the foam block. Place the damaged wheel in the tyre bag and strap it down with the tensioning straps. Be sure to follow the instructions contained in the manual in the spare wheel bag when it is refit- ted. 07 294 Tyre pressure The tyre pressure decal on the driver's side door pillar (between frame and rear door) shows which pressures the tyres should have at different loads and speed conditions. This is also specified in the tyre pressure table, see page 358. • Tyre pressure for the car's recommended tyre dimension • ECO pressure1 NOTE Temperature differences change the tyre pressure. 1 ECO pressure results in improved fuel economy. Fuel economy, ECO pressure At speeds under 160 km/h, the general tyre pressure is recommended (applies for both full load and light load) in order to obtain optimum fuel economy. Checking the tyre pressure The tyre pressures must be checked every month. Check tyre pressures on cold tyres. "Cold tyres" means the tyres are the same tempera- ture as the ambient temperature. After several kilometres of driving, the tyres warm up and the pressure increases. Inadequate tyre pressure increases fuel con- sumption, shortens tyre lifespan and impairs the car's roadholding. Driving on tyres with tyre pressure that is too low could result in the tyres overheating and being damaged. Tyre pres- sure affects travelling comfort, road noise and steering characteristics. NOTE Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure also varies depending on ambient temperature. 07 Wheels and tyres Tyre pressure 07 295 07 Wheels and tyres Warning triangle and first-aid kit* Warning triangle Lift the floor hatch and take out the warning triangle. Take the warning triangle from the case, fold out and assemble the two loose sides. Fold out the warning triangle's support legs. Follow the regulations for the use of a warning triangle. Position the warning triangle in a suit- able place with regard to traffic. Ensure the warning triangle and its case are properly secured in the cargo area after use. NOTE If the car has been locked with privacy lock- ing then the boot lid/tailgate and floor hatch cannot be opened, see page 53. First aid kit* A case with first aid equipment is located under the floor in the cargo area. 07 296 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. General TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)* warns the driver when the pressure is too low in one or more of the car's tyres. It uses sensors located inside the air valve in each wheel. When the car is driven at about 40 km/h the system detects the tyre pressure. If the pres- on the sure is too low then a warning lamp instrument panel illuminates and a message is shown on the display. Always check the system after changing a wheel in order to ensure that replacement wheels work with the system. For information on correct tyre pressures, see page 358. The system does not replace normal tyre main- tenance. IMPORTANT If a fault should arise in the tyre pressure system a warning lamp on the instru- ment panel will illuminate and a message will be shown. This can be for various rea- sons, e.g. fitting a wheel not equipped with a sensor adapted for Volvo's tyre pressure monitoring system. 07 Wheels and tyres Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS)* Adjusting tyre pressure monitoring Tyre pressure monitoring can be adjusted in order to follow Volvo's tyre pressure recom- mendations, when driving with a heavy load for example. NOTE 2. Inflate the tyre(s) to the correct pressure. 3. Drive at least at 40 km/h for a total of at least 1 minute and check that the message disappears. Deactivating/activating tyre pressure monitoring The engine must not be running when the tyres are calibrated. NOTE The settings are made with the control in the centre console, see page 142. 1. Inflate the tyres to the required pressure and select key position I or II. 2. Select the menu system MY CAR to open Tyre pressure the menus to Settings 3. Select Calibrate tyre pressure. 4. Press OK. 5. Start the car and drive at least at 40 km/h for a total of at least 1 minute and check that the message disappears. > Calibration is complete. Rectifying low tyre pressure If a message for low tyre pressure is shown in the display: 1. Check the tyre pressure in all four tyres. The engine must not be running when tyre pressure monitoring is activated/deacti- vated. The settings are made with the control in the centre console, see page 142. 1. Select key position I or II. 2. Select the system MY CAR to open the menus to Car settings Tyre pressure 3. Select Tyre pressure system and press OK. > A X is shown in the display if the system is activated, the option disappears if the system is deactivated. Recommendations Only factory fitted wheels are equipped with TPMS sensors in the valves. • If wheels without TPMS sensors are used then Tyre press. syst Service required 07 `` * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 297 07 Wheels and tyres Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS)* will be shown every time the car is driven faster than 40 km/h for more than 10 minutes. • Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors are fitted to all wheels on the car. • Volvo recommends that sensors are not moved between different wheels. WARNING When inflating a tyre equipped with TPMS, hold the nozzle of the pump directly against the valve to avoid damaging the valve. Driveable punctured tyres* If Self Supporting run flat Tyres (SST)* have been selected then the car is also equipped with TPMS. This type of tyre has a specially reinforced side wall that makes continued driving possible to a limited extent despite the tyre losing some pressure. These tyres are fitted on a special rim. (Normal tyres can also be fitted to this rim). If an SST tyre loses tyre pressure then the yel- low TPMS lamp on the instrument panel illumi- nates and a message is shown in the text panel. If this occurs, reduce speed to max. 80 km/h. The tyre must be replaced as soon as possible. 07 Drive carefully, in some cases it can be difficult to see which tyre is faulty. In order to establish which tyre needs attention, check all four tyres. WARNING SST tyres should only be fitted by individu- als with expertise on SST tyres. SST tyres must only be fitted together with TPMS. After a fault message on low tyre pressure has been shown, do not drive faster than 80 km/h. Maximum driving distance to tyre change is 80 km. Avoid hard driving such as sudden braking or turning. SST tyres must be replaced if they are dam- aged or punctured. 298 * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. the wall. Do not seal tyres with the emergency puncture repair kit if they have larger slits, cracks or similar damage. 12 V sockets* for connecting the compressor are located by the centre console in the front, by the rear seat and in the cargo area. Choose the electrical socket that is nearest the punc- tured tyre. Location of the emergency puncture repair kit Set up the warning triangle if a tyre is being sealed in a trafficked location. The emergency puncture repair kit is located under the floor in the cargo area, see page 296. WARNING You should not drive faster than 80 km/h after the emergency tyre repair kit has been used. Volvo recommends that you visit an authorised Volvo workshop for inspection of the sealed tyre (maximum 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. General Emergency puncture repair (TMK; Temporary Mobility Kit) is used to seal a puncture and check and adjust tyre pressure. It consists of a compressor and a bottle with sealing fluid. The kit works as a temporary repair. The sealing fluid bottle must be replaced before its expira- tion date and after use. The sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punc- tured in the tread. NOTE The emergency puncture repair kit is only intended for sealing tyres with a puncture in the tread. The emergency puncture repair kit has limited capacity to seal tyres which have punctures in 07 Wheels and tyres Emergency puncture repair (TMK) Overview Label, maximum permitted speed Switch Cable Bottle holder (orange cap) Protective cap Pressure reducing valve Air hose Sealing fluid bottle Pressure gauge 07 `` * Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 299 07 Wheels and tyres Emergency puncture repair (TMK) Sealing punctured tyres WARNING WARNING The sealing fluid can irritate the skin. In the case of contact with skin, wash away the fluid with soap and water. Do not leave children in the car without supervision when the engine is running. 3. Check that the switch is in position 0 and locate the cable and the air hose. NOTE Do not break the bottle's seal before use. The seal is broken automatically when the bottle is screwed in. 4. Unscrew the orange cap and unscrew the bottle's stopper. 5. Screw the bottle into its holder. WARNING 8. Flick the switch to position I. WARNING Never stand next to the tyre when the com- pressor is running. If cracks or unevenness arise then the compressor must be switched off immediately. The journey should not be continued. Contacting an authorised tyre centre is recommended. NOTE When the compressor starts, the pressure can increase up to 6 bar but the pressure drops after approximately 30 seconds. Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped with a reverse catch to prevent leakage. 9. Inflate the tyre for 7 minutes. 6. 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. 7. Plug the cable into the 12 V socket and start the car. IMPORTANT Risk of overheating. The compressor must not run for more than 10 minutes. 10. Switch off the compressor to check the pressure on the pressure gauge. Minimum 07 For information on the function of the parts, see preceding illustration. 1. Open the lid of the emergency puncture repair kit. 2. Detach the label for maximum permitted speed and affix it to the steering wheel. 300 pressure is 1.8 bar and maximum 3.5 bar. (Release air with the pressure reducing valve if the tyre pressure is too high.) WARNING If the pressure is below 1.8 bar then the hole in the tyre is too big. The journey should not be continued. Contacting an authorised tyre centre is recommended. 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. • If it is below 1.3 bar then the tyre is insufficiently sealed. The journey should not be continued. Contact a tyre centre. • If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3 bar, the tyre must be inflated to the pres- sure specified in accordance with the 07 Wheels and tyres Emergency puncture repair (TMK) tyre pressure table, see page 358 (1 bar=100 kPa). Release air using the pressure reducing valve if the tyre pres- sure is too high. WARNING Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped with a reverse catch to prevent leakage. 3. Make sure the compressor is switched off. Detach the air hose and cable. Refit the dust cap. NOTE The sealing fluid bottle and the hose must be replaced after use. Volvo recommends that this replacement is performed by an authorised Volvo workshop. WARNING WARNING You should not drive faster than 80 km/h after the emergency tyre repair kit has been used. Volvo recommends that you visit an authorised Volvo workshop for inspection of the sealed tyre (maximum driving distance is 200 km).

Checking the engine oil Volvo recommends Castrol oil products. 08 `` 307 08 Maintenance and service Engine compartment When driving under adverse conditions, see page 350. IMPORTANT In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's service intervals all engines are filled with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil at the factory. The choice of oil has been made very carefully with regard to service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact. An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service inter- vals can be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil for both filling and oil change, otherwise you will risk affecting service life, starting characteristics, fuel consumption and environmental impact. Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war- ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribed grade and viscosity is not used. Volvo uses different systems for warning of low/high oil level or low/high oil pressure. Cer- tain variants have an oil pressure sensor, and then the lamp for oil pressure is used. Other variants have an oil level sensor, and then the driver is informed via the warning symbol in the centre of the instrument unit as well as by dis- 2 Only applies to petrol and 4-cyl. diesel. 08 308 play texts. Certain models have both variants. Contact a Volvo dealer for more information. Change the engine oil in accordance with the intervals specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet. Using oil of a higher than specified grade is permitted. If the car is driven in adverse con- ditions, Volvo recommends using an oil of a higher grade than that specified on the decal, see page 351. For capacities, see page 351 and onwards. Engine with oil dipstick2 Volvo recommends checking the oil level every 2 500 km. The most accurate measurements are made on a cold engine before starting. The measurement will be inaccurate if taken imme- diately after the engine is switched off. The dipstick will indicate that the level is too low because the oil has not had time to flow down into the oil sump. Dipstick and filler pipe. Checking the oil level in a new car is especially important before the first scheduled oil change. The oil level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. Measurement and filling if required 1. Ensure that the car is level. After switching off the engine it is important to wait 5 minutes to allow the oil time to run back to the sump. 2. Pull up and wipe the dipstick. 08 Maintenance and service Engine compartment Engine with electronic oil level sensor3 Message and graph in the display. Filler pipe.4 You do not need to take action with respect to the engine oil level before a message is shown in the display, see the illustration below. Message Engine oil level WARNING 3. Re-insert the dipstick. 4. Pull it out and check the level. 5. If the level is close to MIN then 0.5 litres should be added. If the level is significantly below, then an additional amount is required. If required, check the level again, do it after driving a short distance. Then repeat steps 1 - 4. 6. WARNING Never fill above the MAX mark. The level should never be above MAX or below MIN as this could lead to engine damage. WARNING Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust manifold due to the risk of fire. 3 Only applies to 5-cyl. diesel. 4 Engines with electronic oil level sensor have no dipstick (5-cyl. diesel). If the message Oil service required is shown, visit a workshop. The oil level may be too high. IMPORTANT In the event of the message Engine oil level Fill with 0.5 l oil, only fill with 0.5 litres. 08 `` 309 08 Maintenance and service > You will then see information displayed about the engine oil level. Coolant Checking the level and topping up The figures 1-4 represent filling level. Do not fill more oil if filling level (3) or (4) is shown. Recom- mended filling level is 4. When topping up the coolant, follow the instructions on the packaging. It is important that the mixture of coolant concentrate and water is correct for the prevailing weather con- ditions. Never top up with water only. The risk of freezing increases with both too little and too much coolant concentrate. For capacities, see page 352. Engine compartment NOTE The oil level is only detected by the system during driving. The system cannot directly detect changes when the oil is filled or drained. The car must be driven about 30 km before the oil level display is correct. WARNING Do not fill more oil if filling level (3) or (4) appears as shown in the illustration below. The level must never be above MAX or below MIN, as this could lead to engine damage. WARNING Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust manifold due to the risk of fire. Measuring the oil level If the oil level needs to be checked then it should be carried out in accordance with the sequence below. 1. Activate key position II, see page 81. 2. Rotate the thumbwheel on the left-hand stalk switch to position Engine oil level Wait.... 08 310 08 Maintenance and service IMPORTANT • A high content of chlorine, chlorides and other salts may cause corrosion in the cooling system. • Always use coolant with anti-corrosion agent as recommended by Volvo. • Ensure that the coolant mixture is 50% water and 50% coolant. • Mix the coolant with approved quality tap water. In the event of any doubt about water quality, used ready-mixed coolant in accordance with Volvo rec- ommendations. • When changing coolant/replacing cool- ing system components, flush the cool- ing system clean with approved quality tap water or flush with ready-mixed coolant. • The engine must only be run with a well- filled cooling system. High tempera- tures may occur, causing a risk of dam- age (cracks) to the cylinder head. For capacities and for standards regarding water quality, see page 352. Check the coolant regularly The level must lie between the MIN and MAX marks on the expansion tank. If the system is not filled sufficiently, high temperatures could occur, causing a risk of damage to the engine. WARNING Coolant can be very hot. If the coolant requires topping up when the engine is at operating temperature, unscrew the expan- sion tank cap slowly to gently release the overpressure. Brake and clutch fluid Checking the level Brake and clutch fluid have a common reser- voir. The level must be between the MIN and MAX marks that are visible inside the reservoir. Check the level regularly. Change the brake fluid every other year or at every other regular service. For capacities and recommended fluid grade, see page 352. The fluid should be changed annually on cars driven in conditions requiring hard, frequent braking, such as driving in mountains or tropical climates with high humidity. Engine compartment WARNING If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further before topping up the brake fluid. Volvo rec- ommends that the reason for the loss of brake fluid is investigated by an authorised Volvo workshop. Filling Brake fluid reservoir location. The fluid reservoir is protected under the cover over the cold zone in the engine compartment. The round cover must be removed first before the reservoir cap can be reached. 1.
