Winter wheels
Winter wheels are adapted for winter road con- ditions.
Volvo recommends winter tyres with particular dimensions. Tyre dimensions are dependent onengine variant. When driving on winter tyres, thecorrect type of tyres must be fitted to all fourwheels.
NOTE
Contact a Volvo dealer for advice about which wheel rim and type of tyre are most suitable.
Tips for changing to winter tyresWhen summer and winter wheels are changed, mark which side of the car they were mounted on, for example L for left and R for right.
Studded tyresStudded winter tyres should be run in gently for 500-1000 km so the studs settle properly intothe tyres. This gives the tyre, and especially thestuds, a longer service life.
NOTE
The legal provisions for the use of studded tyres vary from country to country.
Tread depthRoad conditions with ice, slush and low tempera- tures place considerably higher demands on tyresthan summer conditions. Volvo therefore recom-mends not to drive on winter tyres that have atread depth of less than 4 mm.
Snow chainsVolvo recommends that snow chains are notused on wheel dimensions greater than18 inches. Mounting instructions are supplied with Volvo original snow chains. Snow chains may only be used on the front wheels (also applies to all-wheel drive cars).Never drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph) withsnow chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as thiswears out both the snow chains and tyres.
WARNING
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equivalent chains designed for the car model, and tyre and rim dimensions. Only single-sided snow
chains are permitted. In the event of uncertainty about the show chain, Volvo recommends that an authorisedVolvo workshop should be contacted. Thewrong snow chains may cause serious dam-age to the car and lead to an accident.

Data transmission between car and workshop6
The time required for a booked visit to a Volvo workshop can be shortened by transmitting trou-bleshooting data as soon as the car stops at theworkshop. The data can be transmitted most conveniently by selecting the option
Automatically connect
when I arrive in settings view in the centre dis-
play.
Each time the car slows to a slow enough speed it starts searching for a Wi-Fi network. If anauthorised Volvo network (at a workshop) isfound, a message is displayed or a pop-up win-dow opens in the centre display. (This does notapply when you connect manually, see the sec-tion "Connecting to a workshop manually"below).
Connecting to a workshop automatically
NOTE
To avoid the driver being disturbed by unwan- ted connection inquiries (for example, if thecar is often parked in the neighbourhood of aworkshop with an authorised Volvo network),the connection mode will change to manual ifthe driver declines connection twice within aperiod of 5 days.
Without driver confirmation
This option provides the most convenient way of transmitting troubleshooting data. The car con-nects without the need for the driver to confirm. If the car stops at the workshop and is switched off with the start knob, a message is shown atthe top in the centre display. The car will connectautomatically when the driver
