2000 Volvo S & V70 body components must be maintained. · Some strapon type chains will interfere with brake components and therefore CANNOT be used. Consult your Volvo retailer for additional snow chain information. CAUTION: · Check local regulations regarding the use of snow chains before installing. · Always follow the chain manufacturer's installation instructions carefully. Install chains as tightly as possible and retighten periodically. · Never exceed the chain manufacturer's specified maximum speed limit. (Under no circumstances should that limit be higher than 30 mph (45 km/h). · Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when driving with snow chains. · The handling of the vehicle can be adversely affected when driving with chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as well as locked wheel braking. Snow tires, studded tires * Tires for winter use: Owners who live in or regularly commute through areas with sustained periods of snow or icy driving conditions are strongly advised to fit suitable winter tires to help retain the highest degree of traction. It is important to install winter tires on all four wheels to help retain traction during cornering, braking, and accelerating. Failure to do so could reduce traction to an unsafe level or adversely affect handling. Do not mix tires of different design as this could also negatively affect overall tire road grip. Volvo recommends 185/65 R15 winter tires on 15" wheels on all front wheel drive S/V 70 models** including models equipped with 16" or 17" wheels . Winter tires wear more quickly on dry roads in warm weather. They should be removed when the winter driving season has ended. Studded tires should be runin 300600 miles (5001000 km) during which the car should be driven as smoothly as possible to give the studs the opportunity to seat properly in the tires. The car tires should have the same rotational direction throughout their entire lifetime. In other words, if you wish to rotate the wheels, make sure that the same wheels are always on the same side of the car. NOTE: Please consult state or provincial regulations restricting the use of studded winter tires before installing such tires. * Where permitted. ** All Wheel Drive models, including the AWD XC should be equipped with 195/65 R15 winter tires. pg. 90 Wheels and tires Checking and correcting tire pressure · Check the tire pressure when refuelling. · The tire pressure should be corrected only when the tires are cold. · With warm tires, correct only when the pressure is too low. The tire temperature rises after driving just a few miles. Vehicle loading The tires on your Volvo will perform to specifications at all normal loads when inflated as recommended on the tire information label* located on the inside of the fuel filler flap. This label lists both tire and vehicle design limits. http://new.volvocars.com/ownersdocs/2000/2000_SV70/00sv70_05.htm[4/4/2013 10:24:33 PM]
