WHEELS AND TIRES
Jack*
Wheel bolts
The wheel bolts hold the wheel in place on
the wheel hub.
Only use rims that have been tested and
approved by Volvo and are included in Volvo's
original product range.
The jack can be used to lift the vehicle to e.g.
change a wheel.
When not in use, the jack* should be
kept in its storage compartment under
the cargo compartment floor.

The jack provided with your vehicle is
intended to be used only in temporary
situations such as changing wheels in
the event of a flat tire. Only the jack
that came with your particular model
should be used to lift the vehicle. If the
vehicle needs to be lifted more fre-
quently or for a prolonged period, using
a garage jack or hoist is recommended.
Always follow this device's instructions
for use.
Use a torque wrench to check that the wheel
bolts are tightened correctly.
Do not grease the wheel bolt threads.
WARNING
The wheel bolts may need to be tightened
again several days after a wheel change.
Temperature fluctuations and vibrations
can cause them to loosen slightly.
The jack needs to be cranked together to the
correct position in order to fit.
The wheel bolts should be tightened to
140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.). Over-tightening or
under-tightening could damage the threa-
ded joints.
For vehicles with Leveling Control*: If the
vehicle is equipped with the optional pneu-
matic suspension, it must be turned off before
the vehicle is lifted on a jack.
