Volvo XC90: Wheels and tires / Stowing a flat tire

  1. Screw the spare tire's retaining bolt back on.

    CAUTION

    Do not attempt to unscrew the lower part of the retaining bolt if it is attached to the body, as this could cause it to break.

    If the retaining bolt becomes dislodged from its lower attachment point in the body under the spare tire, replace it in the hole and turn clockwise to secure it again.

    WARNING

    On vehicles with 48 V batteries, the bolt is attached to the battery box instead of the body. If the lower part of the retaining bolt is not dislodged when the spare tire is taken out, it should be removed to help prevent injury when the flat tire is replaced.

  2. Put the tools back in their correct positions in the foam block.
  3. Then lower the trunk/cargo compartment floor and place the punctured tire in the trunk/cargo compartment.
