2007 Volvo V70
CAUTION!
- The vehicle must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than
the one that came with the vehicle. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your
vehicle's transmission.
- Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel bolts should never be greased
or lubricated. The extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with steel rims, as they make it
impossible to fit the hub caps.
- Locking wheel bolts can be used on both aluminum and steel wheels. If hub caps are used on steel
wheels, the locking wheel bolt should be mounted in the hole as far from the tire's inflation valve as
possible. It would otherwise not be possible to mount the hub cap on the wheel.

Changing wheels
- Position the jack correctly on the bar in the attachment (see illustration above) and crank while
simultaneously guiding the base of the jack to the ground. The base of the jack must be flat on a level,
firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the vehicle, check that the jack is still correctly positioned in
the attachment.
- Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be changed is lifted off the ground.
- Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the threads on
the studs.
