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.

shop to replace the damaged tyre. Advise
the workshop that the tyre contains sealing
fluid.

5. Replace the bottle when the expiration

date has passed. Treat the old bottle as
environmentally hazardous waste.

WARNING

If the pressure is below 1.8 bar then the
hole in the tyre is too big. The journey
should not be continued. Contact an au-
thorised tyre centre.

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).

Read the safety instructions on the bottom
of the bottle.
