* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.297 General
TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)*
warns the driver when the pressure is too low
in one or more of the car's tyres. It uses sensors
located inside the air valve in each wheel.
When the car is driven at about 40 km/h the
system detects the tyre pressure. If the pres-
sure is too low then a warning lamp
on the
instrument panel illuminates and a message is
shown on the display.
Always check the system after changing a
wheel in order to ensure that replacement
wheels work with the system.
For information on correct tyre pressures, see
page 358.
The system does not replace normal tyre main-
tenance.
IMPORTANT
If a fault should arise in the tyre pressure
system a warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel will illuminate and a message
will be shown. This can be for various rea-
sons, e.g. fitting a wheel not equipped with
a sensor adapted for Volvo's tyre pressure
monitoring system.
Adjusting tyre pressure monitoringTyre pressure monitoring can be adjusted in
order to follow Volvo's tyre pressure recom-
mendations, when driving with a heavy load for
example.
NOTE
The engine must not be running when the
tyres are calibrated.
The settings are made with the control in the
centre console, see page 142.
1. Inflate the tyres to the required pressure
and select key position I or II.
2.
Select the menu system MY CAR to open
the menus to Settings
Tyre pressure
3.
Select
Calibrate tyre pressure.
4.
Press OK.
5. Start the car and drive at least at 40 km/h
for a total of at least 1 minute and check
that the message disappears.
> Calibration is complete.
Rectifying low tyre pressureIf a message for low tyre pressure is shown in
the display:
1. Check the tyre pressure in all four tyres.2. Inflate the tyre(s) to the correct pressure.
3. Drive at least at 40 km/h for a total of at
least 1 minute and check that the message
disappears.
Deactivating/activating tyre pressure
monitoring
NOTE
The engine must not be running when tyre
pressure monitoring is activated/deacti-
vated.
The settings are made with the control in the
centre console, see page 142.
1.
Select key position I or II.
2.
Select the system MY CAR to open the
menus to Car settings
Tyre pressure
3.
Select
Tyre pressure system and press
OK.

A
X is shown in the display if the system
is activated, the option disappears if the
system is deactivated.
RecommendationsOnly factory fitted wheels are equipped with
TPMS sensors in the valves.
•If wheels without TPMS sensors are used
then Tyre press. syst Service required

will be shown every time the car is driven
faster than 40 km/h for more than 10
minutes.
•Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors are
fitted to all wheels on the car.
•Volvo recommends that sensors are not
moved between different wheels.
WARNING
When inflating a tyre equipped with TPMS,
hold the nozzle of the pump directly against
the valve to avoid damaging the valve.
Driveable punctured tyres*
If Self Supporting run flat Tyres (SST)* have
been selected then the car is also equipped
with TPMS.
This type of tyre has a specially reinforced side
wall that makes continued driving possible to
a limited extent despite the tyre losing some
pressure. These tyres are fitted on a special
rim. (Normal tyres can also be fitted to this rim).
If an SST tyre loses tyre pressure then the yel-
low TPMS lamp on the instrument panel illumi-
nates and a message is shown in the text
panel. If this occurs, reduce speed to
max. 80 km/h. The tyre must be replaced as
soon as possible.Drive carefully, in some cases it can be difficult
to see which tyre is faulty. In order to establish
which tyre needs attention, check all four tyres.
WARNING
SST tyres should only be fitted by individu-
als with expertise on SST tyres.
SST tyres must only be fitted together with
TPMS.
After a fault message on low tyre pressure
has been shown, do not drive faster than
80 km/h.
Maximum driving distance to tyre change is
80 km.
Avoid hard driving such as sudden braking
or turning.
SST tyres must be replaced if they are dam-
aged or punctured.
