Only use rims that are tested and approved by Volvo and which are Volvo genuine accessories.
Check the tightening torque of the wheel bolts with a torque wrench.
Do not use lubricant on the threads of the wheel bolts.
Warning
The wheel bolts may need to be re-tightened several days after the wheel change. Temperature differences and vibration may mean that they are not attached equally as tightly.
Important
The wheel bolts must be tightened to 140 Nm. (103 foot-pound). Overtightening or loose tightening may damage the nuts and the bolts.
Lockable wheel bolt kit*
To loosen or tighten the lockable wheel bolts – turn the wrench in the lock bolt until it fully engages in the code grooves. Always start with the lockable wheel bolts if the wheel shall be removed. When fitting the wheel, finish with the lock screw.
Important
Remember not to use bending force when you loosen/tighten the wheel bolts. This could damage the code groove in the lock bolt and the wheel wrench and so make it impossible to fit/remove the wheel.
When the wheel wrench1 is not in use it must be stored in its place in the storage area under the front bonnet. It is important to remember this if the car is due to visit a workshop in order to have the tool available. If you lose the wrench, contact your Volvo dealer.
