Rectifying low tyre pressure with tyre monitoring *
When the tyre monitoring system, Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (ITPMS), gives awarning, the tyre pressure in one or more of thecar's tyres is too low.
Check and rectify the tyre pressure when the indicator symbol for ITPMS is illuminated and the message
Tyre
pressure low is shown. Calibrate
ITPMS after the tyre pressure has been adjusted.
1. Check the tyre pressure in all four tyres with a tyre pressure gauge.
2. Inflate the tyres to the correct pressure as indicated on the tyre pressure label on the door pillar on the driver's side.
3. Recalibrate the ITPMS system, see the sec-tion "Calibrating tyre monitoring".
4. In some cases, it may be necessary to drive the car for a few minutes at a speed above 30 km/h (20 mph) in order to extinguish theITPMS symbol and clear the message. Note that the ITPMS symbol does not extin- guish until the low tyre pressure has beenrectified and new calibration has been per-formed.
NOTE
To avoid incorrect tyre pressure, the pressure should be checked on cold tyres. "Cold tyres"means the tyres are the same temperature asthe ambient temperature (approx. 3 hoursafter the car has been driven). After a few kil-ometres of driving, the tyres warm up and thepressure increases.
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.
WARNING
• Incorrect tyre pressure may lead to tyre failure, which could result in the driverlosing control of the car.
• The system cannot indicate sudden tyredamage in advance.

Calibrating tyre monitoring *
In order for the Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (ITPMS) to work correctly, a referencevalue for the tyre pressure must be determined.This must be performed each time the tyres arechanged or the tyre pressure is changed.
For example, when driving with a heavy load or at high speed above 160 km/h (100 mph), the tyrepressure should be adjusted in accordance withVolvo's recommended tyre pressure values. Fol-lowing which, the system must be recalibrated.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Inflate the tyres to the desired pressure in accordance with the tyre pressure label on the door pillar on the driver's side.
3. Start the engine. 4.
Open the
Car status app in the app view.
5.Tap on Status to view tyre monitoring.
NOTE
The car must be stationary when calibration is started.
6.Press Calibrate.
7. Tap on
OK to confirm that the tyre pressure
in all four tyres has been checked and adjusted. 8. Drive the car.
Calibration is performed while the car is driv-ing. Calibration is interrupted temporarily ifthe engine is switched off, but is resumedautomatically when the car is driven again.
> When sufficient data has been collectedto enable the system to detect low tyre pressure, the tyres in the centre displaychange colour from grey to green. Thesystem provides no additional confirma-tion that the calibration is complete. If calibration fails, a message is shown:
Calibration unsuccessful. Please try again..
NOTE
Remember that the TPMS system must be recalibrated at each tyre change or if the tyrepressure is adjusted. New reference valuesmust be stored for the system to work cor-rectly.

Emergency puncture repair kitThe emergency puncture repair kit, Temporary Mobility Kit (TMK), is used to seal a puncture aswell as to check and adjust the air pressure.
The puncture repair kit consists of a compressor and a bottle with sealing fluid. The sealing worksas a temporary repair. The sealing fluid effectivelyseals tyres punctured in the tread. The puncture repair kit has limited capacity to seal tyres which have punctures in the wall. Donot use the puncture repair kit on tyres that havelarger slits, cracks or similar damage.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only intended for sealing tyres with a puncture inthe tread.
NOTE
The compressor for temporary emergency puncture repair has been tested andapproved by Volvo.
LocationThe puncture repair kit is located in the foam block under the floor in the cargo area.
Sealing fluid bottleReplace the bottle with sealing fluid before the expiration date has passed and after use. Treatthe old bottle as environmentally hazardouswaste.
WARNING
The bottle contains 1.2-Ethanol and natural rubber-latex.
• Harmful if ingested.
• Could result in allergic reaction in the event of skin contact.
• Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
• Store out of the reach of children.
WARNING
• In the event of skin contact with the seal- ing fluid, it must be washed off immedi-ately with soap and plenty of water.
• Sealing fluid that makes contact with aneye must be rinsed away immediately witheye wash fluid or with plenty of water. Ifthe discomfort persists then the eyeshould be examined by a doctor.

10. Switch off the compressor to check the pres-
sure on the pressure gauge. Minimum pres- sure is 1.8 bar and maximum 3.5 bar.(Release air with the pressure reducing valveif the tyre pressure is too high.)
WARNING
If the pressure is below 1.8 bar then the hole in the tyre is too big. The journey should notbe continued. Contacting an authorised tyrecentre is recommended.
11. Switch off the compressor and detach the electrical cable.
12. Unscrew the air hose from the tyre valve and refit the dust cap on the tyre.
13. Fit the protective cap on the air hose in order to avoid leakage of the remaining sealing fluid. 14. As soon as possible, drive at least 3 km at a
maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) sothat the sealing fluid can seal the tyre.
NOTE
Sealant will spurt out of the puncture during the first few rotations of the tyre.
WARNING
Make sure that nobody is standing near the car and gets the sealing fluid splashed ontothem when the car is driven away. The dis-tance should be at least two metres.
15. Follow-up inspection Connect the air hose on the tyre valve and screw in the valve connection to the bottomof the tyre valve's thread. The compressormust be switched off. 16. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure
gauge.
• If it is below 1.3 bar then the tyre is insuf-ficiently sealed. The journey should not becontinued. Contact a tyre centre.
• If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3 bar,the tyre must be inflated to the pressurespecified in accordance with the tyrepressure label on the driver side door pil-lar (1 bar = 100 kPa). Release air usingthe pressure reducing valve if the tyrepressure is too high.
17. If the tyre needs to be inflated: 1. Connect the electrical cable to the closest12 V socket and start the car.
2. Start the compressor and inflate the tyre to the pressure specified in accordancewith the tyre pressure label.
3. Switch off the compressor.
18. Remove the tyre sealing equipment, fit the protective cap on the air hose and fold thehose in the box. Place TMK in the cargo area.

NOTE
The normal car jack is only designed for occa- sional, short-term use, such as when chang-ing a wheel after a puncture, changing to win-ter/summer wheels, etc. Only the jack for thespecific car model may be used to raise thecar. If the car is to be jacked up more often, orfor a longer time than is required just tochange a wheel, use of a garage jack is rec-ommended. In this instance, follow theinstructions for use that come with the equip-ment.
4. Place chocks in front of and behind the wheels which will remain on the ground to prevent them from rolling. Use heavy woodenblocks or large stones for example.
5. Screw together the towing eye with the wheel wrench * to the stop position.
IMPORTANT
The towing eye must be screwed all the way into the wheel bolt wrench.
6. Remove the plastic caps from the wheel
bolts with the intended tool.
7. Loosen the wheel bolts ½-1 turn anticlock- wise with the wheel wrench *.
WARNING
Never position anything between the ground and the jack, nor between the jack and thecar's jacking point.
IMPORTANT
The ground must be firm, smooth and level.
8. When raising the car, it is important that the
jack* or lifting arms are fitted in the intended
points on the car's underbody. The triangle markings in the plastic cover indicate thelocations of the jacking/lifting points. Thereare two jacking points on each side of thecar. There is a recess for the jack at eachpoint.
