Emergency puncture repair* -
rechecking
Emergency puncture repair (p. 333), in which
the emergency puncture repair kit (p. 334)*
(TMK - Temporary Mobility Kit), is used to seal
a puncture and check and adjust the air pres-
sure.
Check tyre pressure
1. Connect the tyre sealing equipment
again.
2. 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
tyre pressure specified in accordance
with the tyre pressure table found in
the printed owner's manual (1 bar =
100 kPa). Release air using the pres-
sure reducing valve if the tyre pressure
is too high.
WARNING
Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped
with a reverse catch to prevent leakage.
3. Make sure the compressor is switched
off. Detach the air hose and cable. Refit
the dust cap.
4. Fold the hose into the box and leave the
bottle where it is. Place TMK in the cargo
area.
NOTE
•After a tyre has been inflated, always
refit the dust cap in order to avoid
damage to the valve from gravel, dirt,
etc.
•Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust
caps can rust and become difficult to
unscrew.
NOTE
The sealing fluid bottle and the hose must
be replaced after use. Volvo recommends
that this replacement is performed by an
authorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Check the tyre pressure regularly.
