WHEELS AND TYRES
484
Tread wear indicators on the tyres Tread wear indicators show the status of the tyre's tread depth.
A tread wear indicator is a narrow elevation across the longitudinal grooves of the tyre's treadpattern. On the side of the tyre are the lettersTWI (Tread Wear Indicator). When the tyre's treaddepth is down to 1.6 mm, the tread will be level inheight with the tread wear indicators. Change tonew tyres as soon as possible. Remember thattyres with little tread depth provide very poor gripin rain and snow.

•Tyres (p. 482)
Checking the tyre pressures Tyres with the correct air pressure increase driv- ing safety, save fuel and extend the service life ofthe tyres.
Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a natu- ral phenomenon. Tyre pressure also variesdepending on ambient temperature. Inadequatetyre pressure increases fuel consumption, short-ens tyre lifespan and impairs the car's drivingcharacteristics. Driving on tyres with tyre pressurethat is too low could result in the tyres overheat-ing and being damaged. Tyre pressure affectstravelling comfort, road noise and driving charac-teristics.
Recommended tyre pressure
The tyre pressure label on the driver's side door pillar (between frame and rear door) shows which pressures the tyres should have at different loadsand speed conditions.
Improved fuel economy with ECO pressure
For a light load (max. 3 people) and a speed of up to 160 km/h (100 mph), the ECO pressurescan be chosen for optimum fuel economy. How-ever, the lower comfort pressures are recom-mended instead if optimum noise and travellingcomfort are desired.
Checking the air pressure1. Check the tyre pressures monthly. Carry out
the check on cold tyres, which means thatthe tyres should have the same temperatureas the outside temperature. After several fewkilometres of driving, the tyres warm up andthe pressure increases.
2. If necessary, inflate so that the air pressure corresponds with the approved tyre pressurein accordance with the tyre pressure label.
NOTE
• After a tyre has been inflated, always refit the dust cap in order to avoid damage tothe valve from gravel, dirt, etc.
• Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dustcaps can rust and become difficult tounscrew.

1. Set up the warning triangle and activate thehazard warning lights if a tyre is being sealed in a trafficked location. If the puncture was caused by a nail or simi- lar, allow this to remain in the tyre. It helps toseal the hole.
2. Detach the decal for maximum permitted speed that is affixed on one side of the com-pressor. Affix it visibly on the windscreen as areminder to observe the speed limit. Youshould not drive faster than 80 km/h(50 mph) after the emergency tyre repair kithas been used. 3.
Check that the switch is in position 0, and
locate the electrical cable and the air hose.
4. Unscrew the orange-coloured cap from the compressor, and unscrew the cork from thebottle.
NOTE
Do not break the bottle's seal before use. The seal is broken automatically when the bottle isscrewed in.

IMPORTANT
Risk of overheating. The compressor must not run for more than 10 minutes.
5. Inflate the tyre to the pressure specified on
the tyre pressure label on the driver side door pillar. (Release air using the pressure reduc-ing valve if the tyre pressure is too high.)
6. Switch off the compressor. Detach the airhose and cable.
7. Refit the dust cap.

When changing wheels
The car's wheels can be changed, e.g. to winter wheels or a spare wheel.
Follow the relevant instructions for removing and fitting wheels.
When changing to another tyre
dimension
Check that the tyre dimension is approved foruse on the car. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop for updat- ing the software at each change of tyre dimen-sion. A software download may be necessaryboth when changing to larger and smaller dimen-sions, and also when switching between summerand winter wheels.

Instructions for removing a wheel when chang- ing wheels.
1. Set up the warning triangle and activate the hazard warning lights if a tyre is being changed in a trafficked location.
2. Apply the parking brake and engage gear position P, or engage first gear if the car has
a manual gearbox. Applies to cars with
Leveling Control* : If
the car is equipped with air suspension, this must be disabled before the car is raised with a jack *.
Deactivate the function via the top view of the centre display by pressing

NOTE
Points to remember when the cover is refit- ted: •The pin in the clip needs to be pressed back fully before the clip is refitted in thecover.
• When the cover is refitted, the pin mustbe pressed in until the end surface islevel with the surface of the clip.
The reversing lamp bulb and the rear fog lamp bulb can be replaced without assistance from aworkshop. Contact a workshop 9
if there is a fault in bulbs
other than the bulbs in the halogen headlamps, the reversing lamp bulb or the rear fog lamp bulb. If a fault occurs in LED 10
lamps, the entire lamp
unit usually must be replaced.
WARNING
The car's electrical system must be in ignition position 0 when replacing bulbs.
IMPORTANT
Never touch the glass part of the bulbs with your fingers. Grease from your fingers isvaporised by the heat, coating the reflectorand then causing damage.
NOTE
If an error message remains after the broken bulb has been replaced then we recommendvisiting an authorised Volvo workshop.
NOTE
Outside lighting such as headlamps and rear lamps may temporarily have condensation onthe inside of the lens. This is normal, all exte-rior lighting is designed to withstand this.Condensation is normally vented out of thelamp housing when the lamp has beenswitched on for a time.
