Installing the wheel
Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. Make sure that
you align the wheel with the guide stud on the wheel hub prior to installation. Install the wheel nuts
crosswise and tighten lightly. The conical side of the nuts should face the wheel. Lower the vehicle to
the ground and alternately tighten the nuts to 63 ft. lbs. (85 Nm). Install the wheel cap.
pg. 6:4 Spare tire
WARNING!
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Special Spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement
for a punctured tire. In other words, it must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire.
Roadholding, etc.., may be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not, therefore, exceed 50
mph (80 km/h).
Special Spare
The spare tire of your car is what is called a "Special Spare". This is embossed on the tire. See
illustration.
Recommended tire pressure (see decal) should be maintained irrespective of which position of the car
the Special Spare tire is used on.
In the event of damage to this tire a new one can be purchased from your Volvo dealer.
