Rechecking the repair and pressure
– Reconnect the equipment.
– 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 pressure
specified on the tyre pressure decal.
Release air using the pressure reducing
valve if the tyre pressure is too high.
– Switch off the compressor. Detach the air
hose and cable. Refit the valve’s dust cap.
– Return the emergency puncture repair kit
to the cargo area.
– Drive to the nearest authorised Volvo
workshop for the replacement/repair of
the damaged tyre. Advise the workshop
that the tyre contains sealing fluid.
Changing the sealing fluid canister
Replace the bottle when the expiration date
has passed. Treat the old bottle as environ-
mentally hazardous waste.
WARNING
Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped
with a reverse catch to prevent leakage.
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.
WARNING
You must 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.
IMPORTANT
Read the safety instructions on the bottom
of the bottle.
