Inflating tires with the puncture repair compressor

Your vehicle's tires can be inflated with the compressor that is included in the temporary puncture repair kit.

Make sure the compressor power button is in the off position before starting.

Unscrew the tire valve cap and attach the compressor air hose. Screw the air hose connector as far down on the thread as possible.
Connect the compressor to the vehicle's 12 V outlet and ensure that the outlet works and is supplying current.1
Start the compressor by pressing the power button.

 Important

To avoid overheating, do not run the compressor for more than 10 minutes at a time.
Check the tire pressure on the compressor's pressure gauge2. Use the pressure-reducing valve if the pressure is too high.
Turn off the compressor and unplug it from the 12 V socket.
Unscrew the air hose from the tire.
Replace the tire valve cap3.

Return the kit to its storage location.

  1. 1 The outlet no longer supplies power a while after the driver has got out of the vehicle. To resume power, just get back in the vehicle again.
  2. 2 You can find the recommended tire pressure for the vehicle's original tires on a label on the driver side door pillar.
  3. 3 Only use original Volvo dust caps or plastic dust caps.
