Temporary Spare
The spare tire in your car is called a
Temporary Spare.
Recommended tire pressure (see the tire
inflation placard(s) on the rear edge of the
drivers door (U.S. models), or on the rear
edge of the passenger's door (Canadian
models)) should be maintained irrespective of
which position on the car the temporary spare
tire is used on.
In the event of damage to this tire, a new one
can be purchased from your Volvo retailer.
WARNING!
Current legislation prohibits the use of the
Temporary Spare tire other than as a
temporary replacement for a punctured tire.
It must be replaced as soon as possible by a
standard tire. Road holding and handling
may be affected with the Temporary Spare
in use. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). Do
not drive farther than 50 miles (80 km) on a
temporary spare tire.
CAUTION!
The car must not be driven with wheels of
different dimensions or with a spare tire
other than the one that came with the car.
The use of different size wheels can
seriously damage your cars transmission.
