1978 Volvo 242 244 245 Spare tire (242 GT) To save trunk space, the 242 GT has been equipped with a space saver spare tire. The tire is intended for temporary use only and is stored deflated. To fill with air, there is a special air compressor which may be connected to the cigarette lighter receptacle. When used, the spare tire should be inflated to 36 psi. The air valves include a safety valve which protects the tire from over-inflation. Tire and rim comprise a unit which should not be separated. Replace as a unit at a Volvo dealership in case the spare tire is damaged. NOTE: The tire should be used only in place of a deflated (flat) tire and is intended only for driving to a repair shop where the damaged tire can be repaired or replaced. Maximum speed is 50 mph. Keep in mind that because of its simple design the tire tread pattern does not provide optimum driveability. Air compressor The air compressor has no switch and will start when connected to the cigarette lighter receptacle. If it does not start when plugged in, check fuse No. 1 first and then the tobacco residue in the receptacle. Do not use the air compressor for periods longer the 20 minutes as it will overheat. Allow cooldown between periods. Do not inflate the spare tire to pressures higher than 36 psi. Installing spare tire 1 Hoist the car and remove the defective wheel. 2 Install the space saver spare tire. 3 Connect the air compressor hose to the tire valve. 4 Route the electrical cable through the side window to avoid damage to the cable and plug it into the cigarette lighter receptacle. 5 Inflate to 36 psi (in middle of gauge between graduations 2 and 3). Disconnect the air compressor and install the tire valve cap. file:///K|/ownersdocs/1978/1978_242_244_245/78242244245_03b.htm (15 of 16)12/22/2006 10:11:29 PM
