Tyre pressure monitoring*
Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS) (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) 3
warns the
driver when the pressure is too low in one or more of the car's tyres. Tyre pressure monitoring uses sensors located inside the air valve in each wheel.When the car is driven at about 40 km/h thesystem detects the tyre pressure. If the pres- sure is too low then a warning lamp
in the
combined instrument panel illuminates and a message is shown in the information display. Both factory-fitted and optional wheels can be equipped with TPMS sensors in thevalves. If wheels without TPMS sensors are used or if a sensor has failed then
Tyre press. syst
Service required will be shown.
Always check the system after changing a wheel in order to ensure that replacementwheels work with the system. For information on the correct tyre pressure, see Tyres - air pressure (p. 328). The system does not replace normal tyre maintenance.
IMPORTANT
If a fault should arise in the tyre pressure system a warning lamp
in the com-
bined instrument panel will illuminate and a message will be shown. This can be forvarious reasons, e.g. fitting a wheel notequipped with a sensor adapted for Vol-vo's tyre pressure monitoring system.

Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS) (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) 4
warns the
driver when the pressure is too low in one or more of the car's tyres. TPMS can be adjusted in order to follow Vol- vo's tyre pressure recommendations (p. 328),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 MY CAR (p. 103).
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 for 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.

Tyre pressure monitoring* - recommendations
Tyre pressure monitoring TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) 7
warns the
driver when the pressure is too low in one or more of the car's tyres.
• Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors are fitted to all wheels on the car.
• Volvo recommends that sensors are notmoved between different wheels.
WARNING
When inflating a tyre equipped with TPMS, hold the nozzle of the pump directlyagainst the valve to avoid damaging thevalve.

• Tyre pressure monitoring* (p. 330)
Tyre pressure monitoring - driveable punctured tyres*
If SST (Self Supporting run flat Tires)* is selected, the car is also equipped with TPMS(p. 330). This type of tyre has a specially reinforced side wall that makes continued driving possi-ble to a limited extent despite the tyre losingall or some of its pressure. These tyres are fit-ted on a special rim. (Normal tyres can alsobe fitted to this rim.) If an SST tyre loses tyre pressure then the yellow TPMS lamp in the combined instru-ment panel illuminates and a message isshown in the information display. If thisoccurs, reduce speed to max. 80 km/h. Thetyre must be replaced as soon as possible. Drive carefully, in some cases it can be diffi- cult to see which tyre is faulty. In order toestablish which tyre needs attention, checkall four tyres.
WARNING
Only people with knowledge of SST tyres should fit them. SST tyres must only be fitted together with TPMS. After an error message about low tyre pressure has been shown, do not drivefaster than 80 km/h. Maximum mileage before tyre replacement is 80 km. Avoid hard driving such as sudden braking or turning. SST tyres must be replaced if they are damaged or punctured.

Emergency puncture repair
Emergency puncture repair, where the emer- gency puncture repair kit (TMK - TemporaryMobility Kit) is used to seal a puncture andcheck and adjust the tyre pressure (p. 407). The emergency puncture repair kit (p. 334) consists of a compressor and a bottle of seal-ant. The sealing works as a temporary repair.The sealing fluid bottle must be replacedbefore its expiration date and after use. Thesealing fluid effectively seals tyres puncturedin the tread.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only intended for sealing tyres with a puncturein the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited capacity to seal tyres which have puncturesin the wall. Do not seal tyres with the emer-gency puncture repair kit if they have largerslits, cracks or similar damage. Connect thecompressor to one of the car's 12 V sockets.Choose the socket that is nearest to thepunctured tyre.
IMPORTANT
If the compressor for emergency puncture repair is connected to one of the two sock-ets (p. 141) in the tunnel console then noother current consumer may be connectedto the other one.
NOTE
The compressor for temporary emergency puncture repair has been tested andapproved by Volvo.

Engine oil - general
An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals canbe applied.
Volvo recommends:
When driving under adverse conditions, see Engine oil - adverse driving conditions (p.395).
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's service intervals all engines arefilled with a specially adapted syntheticengine oil at the factory. The choice of oilhas been made very carefully with regardto service life, starting characteristics, fuelconsumption and environmental impact. An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service inter-vals can be applied. Only use a prescribedgrade of oil for both filling and oil change,otherwise you will risk affecting service life,starting characteristics, fuel consumptionand environmental impact. Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war- ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribedgrade and viscosity is not used. Volvo recommends that oil changes are carried out at an authorised Volvo work-shop.
Volvo uses different systems for warning of low/high oil level or low/high oil pressure.Certain engine variants have an oil pressuresensor, and then the combined instrumentpanel's warning symbol for low oil pressure isused. Other variants have an oil level sensor,when the driver is informed via the instru- ment's warning symbol
and display
