Recommended tire pressure (see the placard on the B-pillar or on the fuel filler door) 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 m.p.h. (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. pg. 134 Wheel nuts Low and high wheel nuts Wheel nuts There are two different types of wheel nut, depending on whether the wheels are steel or aluminum. Steel rims - low nut Steel rims are normally secured using the low type of nut, although steel rims may also use the high type. WARNING! Never use the short type of nut for aluminium wheels. This could cause the wheel to come loose. Aluminum wheels - high nut Only the high type of nut can be used for aluminum wheels. This is considerably different from other types of nut because it has a rotating conical thrust washer. NOTE: This nut can also be used on steel wheels. Lockable wheel nut If steel wheels with lockable wheel nuts are used in combination with wheel covers, the lockable wheel nut must be fitted to the stud nearest the air valve. The wheel cover cannot otherwise be installed on the wheel. pg. 135 Changing a tire Changing a tire
