WHEELS AND TIRES
320
WARNING
•
Never stand next to the tire being inflated
when the compressor is in operation.
•
If cracks, bubbles, etc. form on the tire,
switch off the compressor immediately.
•
If there is visible damage to the sidewall or
the rim, the tire cannot be repaired. The
vehicle should not be driven if this occurs.
Contact a towing service or Volvo On Call
Roadside Assistance if applicable.
NOTE
The air pressure gauge will temporarily show
an increase in pressure to approximately
88 psi (6 bar) while the sealing compound is
being pumped into the tire. The pressure
should return to a normal level after approxi-
mately 30 seconds.
9. Within seven minutes, inflate the tire to
between 22—44 psi (1.8—3.0 bar). Switch
off the compressor briefly to get a clear
reading from the pressure gauge.
CAUTION
The compressor should not be used for more
than 10 minutes at a time to avoid overheat-
ing.
WARNING
If the pressure remains below 22 psi (1.8 bar)
after approximately seven minutes, turn off
the compressor. In this case, the hole is too
large to be sealed and the vehicle should not
be driven.
10. Switch off the compressor and disconnect
the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket.
11. Unscrew the hose from the tire's inflation
valve and put the cover on the hose back into
place to help prevent seepage of residual
sealing compound in the hose. Reinstall the
valve cap.
CAUTION
•
After inflating the tires, always reinstall the
valve cap to help avoid damage to the
valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
•
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
12. Immediately drive the vehicle for approxi-
mately 2 miles (3 km) at a maximum speed
of 50 mph (80 km/h) to distribute the seal-
ing compound in the tire.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS), the use of
the sealing compound may lead to incorrect
tire pressure readings or in rare cases, dam-
age to the tire pressure sensor. Use the tire
sealing system to check and adjust the dam-
aged tire's inflation pressure.
NOTE
•
Safely stow the tire sealing system in a
convenient place as it will soon be used
again to check the tire’s inflation pres-
sure.
•
The empty bottle of sealing compound
cannot be removed from the bottle
holder. Consult a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician to have the bot-
tle removed and properly disposed of.
