07 Wheels and tires Tire Sealing System 4. Put on the gloves included in the tire sealing system. 7. Remove the valve cap from the tire's inflation valve and screw the tire sealing system's hose connector onto the valve as tightly as possible by hand. 8. Connect the electrical wire to the nearest 12-volt socket in the vehicle. 9. Start the vehicle's engine. 10. Start the tire sealing system's compressor by pressing the on/off switch to position I. 11. Within seven minutes, inflate the tire to between 22-44 psi (1.8-3.0 bar). Switch off the compressor briefly to get a clear reading from the pressure gauge. NOTE The air pressure gauge will temporarily show an increase in pressure to approximately 88 psi (6 bar) while the sealing compound is being pumped into the tire. The pressure should return to a normal level after approximately 30 seconds. WARNING Contact with the sealing compound may cause skin irritation. If contact occurs, wash the affected area immediately with soap and water. 5. Unscrew the orange cover over the bottle holder and unscrew the cap on the bottle of sealing compound. WARNING NOTE Do not break the seal on the bottle. This occurs automatically when the bottle is screwed into the holder. • • • Never stand next to the tire being inflated when the compressor is in operation. If cracks, bubbles, etc. form on the tire, switch off the compressor immediately. If there is visible damage to the sidewall or the rim, the tire cannot be repaired. The vehicle should not be driven if this occurs. Contact a towing service or Volvo On Call Roadside Assistance if applicable. CAUTION The compressor should not be used for more than 10 minutes at a time to avoid overheating. 6. Screw the bottle into the bottle holder. 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. WARNING 07 The bottle is equipped with a catch to keep it securely in place and help prevent sealing compound leakage. Once in place, the bottle cannot be unscrewed. This must be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. 12. Switch off the compressor and disconnect the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket. 186
