Volvo XC60: Tire sealing system–temporarily repairing a flat tire
Tire sealing system–temporarily repairing a flat tire
Temporarily repairing a flat tire is done in two stages:
• Stage 1: The hole is sealed by pumping sealing compound into the tire. The car is then driven a short distance to distribute the sealing compound in the tire.
NOTE
Do not remove any foreign objects (nails,
etc.) from the tire before using the sealing
system.
• Stage 2: The tire’s inflation pressure is checked and adjusted if necessary.
WARNING
• Never leave the tire sealing system
unattended when it is operating.
• Keep the tire sealing system away from
children.
• Be sure the vehicle is parked safely off
the road and away from moving traffic.
• Apply the parking brake.
