Wheels and tires

Temporary Spare

The spare tire in your car is called a

“Temporary Spare”.
Recommended tire pressure (see the tire

inflation placard(s) on the rear edge of the

driver’s door (U.S. models), or on the rear

edge of the passenger's door (Canadian

models)) should be maintained irrespective of

which position on the car the temporary spare

tire is used on.
In the event of damage to this tire, a new one

can be purchased from your Volvo retailer.

WARNING!
Current legislation prohibits the use of the

“Temporary Spare” tire other than as a

temporary replacement for a punctured tire.

It must be replaced as soon as possible by a

standard tire. Road holding and handling

may be affected with the “Temporary Spare”

in use. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). Do

not drive farther than 50 miles (80 km) on a

temporary spare tire.

CAUTION!
The car must not be driven with wheels of

different dimensions or with a spare tire

other than the one that came with the car.

The use of different size wheels can

seriously damage your car’s transmission.
