CAUTION The compressor should not be used for more than 10 minutes at a time to avoid overheating. WARNING If the pressure remains below 22 psi (1.8 bar) after approximately seven minutes, turn off the compressor. In this case, the hole is too large to be sealed and the vehicle should not be driven. 12. Switch off the compressor and disconnect the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket. 13. Unscrew the hose from the tire's inflation valve and reinstall the valve cap. 14. Immediately drive the vehicle for approximately 2 miles (3 km) at a maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) to distribute the sealing compound in the tire. NOTE Safely stow the tire sealing system in a convenient place as it will soon be used again to check the tire's inflation pressure. The empty bottle of sealing compound cannot be removed from the bottle holder. Consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician to have the bottle removed and properly disposed of. WARNING If heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behavior, or noises should occur while driving, reduce speed and park the vehicle in a safe place. Recheck the tire for bumps, cracks, or other visible damage, and recheck its inflation pressure. If the pressure is below 19 psi (1.3 bar), do not continue driving. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. 261 06 Maintenance and specifications Wheels and tires Stage 2: Checking inflation pressure 1. Connect the tire sealing system as described in stage 1. 2. Refer to the tables on pages 240 and 241 for the correct tire inflation pressure. If the tire needs to be inflated, start the tire sealing system's compressor. If necessary, release air from the tire by turning the air release knob counterclockwise. CAUTION The compressor should not be used for more than 10 minutes at a time to avoid overheating. WARNING If you interrupt your trip for more than 1 hour, check the inflation pressure in the damaged tire again before continuing.
