Changing wheels - removing wheels
The car's wheels can be changed, e.g. to winter
wheels or a spare wheel.
Set up the warning triangle (p. 327) if a wheel
must be changed in a trafficked location. The car
and jack(p. 327)* must be on a firm horizontal
surface.
1. Apply the parking brake, (p. 293) 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 decal also indicates the jack's maximum
lift capacity at a specified lifting height.
2. Take out the wheel to be fitted as well as the
tools. If it is a spare wheel being fitted then
there is a package in its location containing
gloves and a plastic bag for the punctured
wheel.
