* Option/accessory.533
Action when warned of low tire pressure When the tire inflation pressure monitoring system11
detects low inflation pressure in a
tire, immediate action is required.
If the system's indicator sym- bol illuminates and the mes- sage
Tire pressure low is
displayed, check the tire pressure and inflate if neces-sary.
1. Switch off the ignition.
2. Check the inflation pressure on all four tires using a tire pressure gauge.
3. Inflate the tire to the correct inflation pres- sure; see the tire pressure placard on the driver's side B pillar for recommendedpressures for factory-mounted tires.
4. After the inflation pressure has been adjusted, always save the new inflationpressure in the system via the center dis-play. Please be aware that the indicator symbol will not go out until the low tire pressurehas been corrected and a storing proce-dure has been started for the new inflationpressure.
NOTE
To help prevent incorrect inflation pressure, pressure should be checked when the tiresare cold. The tires are considered to becold when they have reached the sametemperature as the ambient temperature(about 3 hours after the vehicle was lastdriven). After driving for a few kilometers,the tires will warm up and the pressure willincrease.
NOTE
After inflating a tire, always replace the valve cap to help prevent valve damagecaused by gravel, dirt, etc.
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal capscould corrode and become difficult toremove.
WARNING

Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, which could cause thedriver to lose control of the vehicle.
The system cannot predict sudden tiredamage.

Spare wheel 14
The spare wheel is a Temporary Spare and can be used to temporarily replace a punc-tured tire on one of the vehicle's regularwheels.
The spare wheel is only intended for tempo- rary use. Replace it with a normal wheel assoon as possible. The driving characteristics of the vehicle change and ground clearance reduces whenthe spare wheel is used. Do not wash the vehi-cle in an automatic car wash while using theTemporary Spare. The recommended tire pressure must be maintained regardless of at which position thetemporary spare wheel is used on the vehicle. If the spare wheel is damaged, a replacement can be purchased from a Volvo retailer.
WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" wheel other than as atemporary replacement for a puncturedtire. It must be replaced as soon as possi-ble by a standard tire. Roadholding andhandling may be affected with the "Tempo-rary Spare" wheel in use.
WARNING
Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) with a spare tire mounted onthe vehicle.
The vehicle must never be driven withmore than one "Temporary Spare"wheel mounted.
Driving with a spare wheel may alterthe driving characteristics of the vehi-cle. Replace the spare wheel with anormal wheel as soon as possible.
The spare wheel is smaller than thenormal wheel, which affects the vehi-cle's ground clearance. Watch for highcurbs and do not wash the vehicle inan automatic car wash when a sparewheel is mounted.
Follow the manufacturer's recom-mended tire inflation pressure for thespare wheel.
On all-wheel drive vehicles, the driveon the rear axle can be disconnected.
If the spare wheel is mounted on thefront axle, snow chains must not beused.
The spare wheel must not be repaired.

Handling the spare wheel 15
Follow these instructions regarding handling the spare wheel.
Accessing the spare wheel
This illustration is generic and appearance may vary.
The spare tire is located in the spare wheel well under the cargo compartment with theoutside of the wheel facing downward. Thespare tire is secured with a bolt that goesthrough the tire and attaches it to the body.The foam block contains all tools needed tochange a wheel.
1. Lift the rear edge of the cargo compart- ment floor.
2. Unscrew the retaining bolt.
3. Lift out the spare wheel.
Stowing a flat tire1. 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 thebody, as this could cause it to break. If the retaining bolt becomes dislodged from its lower attachment point in thebody under the spare tire, replace it in thehole and turn clockwise to secure it again.
WARNING
On vehicles with 48 V batteries, the bolt is attached to the battery box instead of thebody. If the lower part of the retaining boltis not dislodged when the spare tire istaken out, it should be removed to helpprevent injury when the flat tire is replaced.
2. Put the tools back in their correct posi- tions in the foam block.
3. Then lower the trunk/cargo compartment floor and place the punctured tire in the trunk/cargo compartment.

Snow chainsUsing snow chains and/or snow tires can help improve traction in winter driving condi-tions.
Volvo does not recommend use of snow chains on wheel dimensions other than these 16
:
7x16 ET 37 215/60
7x17 ET 40.5 225/50
8x18 ET 42 235/45
WARNING
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiva- lent snow chains that are suitable for thevehicle model and the tire and wheel sizes.Only
one-sided snow chains are permit-
ted. If uncertain about snow chains, Volvo rec- ommends contacting an authorized Volvoworkshop. Use of the wrong snow chainscould cause serious damage to the vehicleand result in an accident.
CAUTION
Snow chains can be used on the vehicle, with the following restrictions:
Always follow the manufacturer'sinstallation instructions carefully. Installchains as tightly as possible andretighten periodically.
Only put snow chains on the frontwheels (also applies to all-wheel drivevehicles).
If accessory, aftermarket or "custom"tires and wheels with different dimen-sions than the original tires and wheelsare used, snow chains in some casesmay NOT be used. Sufficient distancebetween the chains and brakes, sus-pension and body components mustbe maintained.
Check local regulations regarding theuse of snow chains before installing.
Never exceed the snow chain manu-facturer's specified maximum speedlimit. Under no circumstances shouldyou exceed 50 km/h (30 mph).
Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turnswhen driving with snow chains.
Avoid driving on surfaces without snow as this wears out both the snowchains and the tires.
The handling of the vehicle can beadversely affected when driving withchains. Avoid fast or sharp turns aswell as locked wheel braking.
Some types of strap-on chains affectbrake components and therefore mustNOT be used.
Consult a Volvo retailer for more information about snow chains.
