Tire sealing system–temporarily
repairing a flat tire
Temporarily repairing a flat tire is done in two
stages:
•
Stage 1: The hole is sealed by pumping
sealing compound into the tire. The car is
then driven a short distance to distribute
the sealing compound in the tire.
NOTE
Do not remove any foreign objects (nails,
etc.) from the tire before using the sealing
system.
•
Stage 2: The tire’s inflation pressure is
checked and adjusted if necessary.
WARNING
•
Never leave the tire sealing system
unattended when it is operating.
•
Keep the tire sealing system away
from children.
•
Be sure the vehicle is parked safely off
the road and away from moving traffic.
•
Apply the parking brake.
Stage 1: Sealing the hole
1. Peel off the speed limit sticker and affix it
to the steering wheel hub where it will be
clearly visible to the driver.
2. Ensure that the on/off switch is in posi-
tion 0 (the 0 side of the switch should be
pressed down).
WARNING
Contact with the sealing compound may
cause skin irritation. If contact occurs,
wash the affected area immediately with
soap and water.
3. Unscrew the orange cover over the bottle
holder and unscrew the cap on the bottle
of sealing compound.
NOTE
Do not break the seal on the bottle. This
occurs automatically when the bottle is
screwed into the holder.
4. Screw the bottle into the bottle holder.
WARNING
The bottle is equipped with a catch to
keep it securely in place and help prevent
sealing compound leakage. Once in place,
the bottle cannot be unscrewed. This must
be done by a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
5. Remove the valve cap from the tire’s
inflation valve and screw the tire sealing
system’s hose connector onto the valve
as tightly as possible by hand.
