– Switch off the compressor and unplug the
cable from the 12 V socket.
– Detach the hose from the tyre’s air valve
and fit the valve’s dust cap.
– As soon as possible, drive
approximately 3 km at a maximum speed
of 80 km/h so that the sealing fluid can
seal the tyre.
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. Re-
lease 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 to replace 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.
NOTE
To avoid splashes, leave the bottle in its
holder.
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 should not drive faster than 80 km/h
after the emergency puncture repair kit has
been used. The temporarily sealed tyre
must be changed as soon as possible (max-
imum driving distance: 200 km).
IMPORTANT
Read the safety instructions on the bottom
of the bottle.
