OK after the tire pressure in all four tires
has been checked and adjusted.
8. Drive the vehicle. > The calibration process will be completedwhile driving and will be interrupted if the vehicle is parked and the engine isswitched off. Calibration continues auto-matically when driving resumes.
When enough data has been collected to detecta low tire pressure situation, the tires' color in thecenter display will change to green. The systemwill not give any text confirmation when calibra-tion is finished although it will state if calibrationfails. When driving with heavy loads or at sus-tained highway speeds, the tire pressure shouldbe adjusted to the recommended inflation pres-sures. After adjusting inflation pressure, repeat steps 1-8.
NOTE
Always remember to calibrate the Tire Pres- sure Monitoring System when the wheelshave been changed or the tire inflation pres-sure has been corrected according to the tirepressure decal or tire inflation pressure table. If correct reference values have not been set, the system cannot issue low tire pressurealerts correctly. The vehicle must be parked with the engine running to access the calibration button andto start the calibration process.
WARNING
The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very poi-sonous. For this reason, always perform thecalibration procedure outdoors or in a work-shop with exhaust gas evacuation equipment.

ice technician to have the bottle removed and properly disposed of.
WARNING
If heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behavior, or noises should occur while driving, reducespeed and park the vehicle in a safe place.Recheck the tire for bumps, cracks, or othervisible damage, and recheck its inflation pres-sure. If the pressure is below 19 psi (1.3 bar),do not continue driving. Have the vehicletowed to a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
15. Rechecking the pressure Reconnect the tire sealing system's hose to the tire's inflation valve. 16. Without starting the compressor, check the
inflation pressure on the air pressure gauge. •If the pressure is under 19 psi (1.3 bar), the puncture has not been sealed suffi-ciently and the vehicle should not bedriven. Have the vehicle towed to a trainedand qualified Volvo service technician.
• If the pressure is more than 19 psi(1.3 bar), connect the electrical wire to a12-volt socket, start the compressor andinflate the tire to the correct pressure(see the tire pressure decal on the on thedriver's side B-pillar (the structural mem-ber at the side of the vehicle, at the rearof the driver's door opening). Use the airrelease valve to release some air from thetire if necessary.
17. Switch off the compressor and disconnect the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket.Unscrew the hose from the tire

Automatically connecting to a workshop
Without driver confirmation
This is the most convenient way to transmit trou- ble-shooting data. The driver does not need toconfirm that the vehicle will establish a connec-tion. If the vehicle stops at a workshop and the engine is switched off using the start knob, a messagewill appear above the status bar in the center dis-play. The vehicle will be automatically connectedwhen the driver's door is opened if the driver does not tap the
Cancel button in the message.
To help prevent the driver from being disturbed by unwanted requests to connect (e.g., if thevehicle is often parked near a workshop with anauthorized Volvo network), the vehicle will switchto manual connection if the driver cancels a con-nection request twice within 5 days.
With driver confirmation
With this alternative, the driver must confirm a connection. If the vehicle stops at a workshop and the engine is switched off using the start knob, a pop-upwindow will open in the center display. The vehi-cle will be automatically connected when the driv- er's door is opened if the driver taps
Connect in
the pop-up window. If the driver does nothing or taps the pop-up window's
Abort button, no
attempt will be made to establish a connection.
NOTE
To help prevent the driver from being distur- bed by unwanted requests to connect (e.g., ifthe vehicle is often parked near a workshopwith an authorized Volvo network), the vehiclewill switch to manual connection if the drivercancels a connection request twice within5 days.

Support battery Vehicles equipped with Start/Stop are equipped with two 12-volt batteries.
In addition to a heavy-duty start battery, models with Start/Stop also have a support battery thatprovides extra current during the Start/Stopfunction's start sequence.
The support battery is located in a box next to the spring strut in the engine compartment
The following table shows the specifications for the support battery:
Current (V) 12 Cold start capacity (Cold Cranking Amperes -CCA) (A) 170
Dimensions, L×W×H in. (mm)5.9×3.5×5.1
(150×90×130)
Capacity (Ah) 10
• When replacing the start battery or support battery in a vehicle with Start/Stop, anAbsorbed Glass Mat (AGM) must be used.
• The greater the current consumption in thevehicle, the more the generator has to oper-ate and the battery is charged. This increasesfuel consumption.
• When the start battery's charge is below theminimum permitted level, the Start/Stopfunction will be disabled.
When the Start/Stop function is temporarily disa-bled due to high current consumption:
• The engine will auto-start, even if the brakepedal is depressed.
The support battery does not normally requiredmore service than the start battery. If questionsarise, consult a Volvo retailer or trained and quali-fied Volvo service technician.

CAUTION
When connecting an external start battery or a battery charger, the Start/Stop function maybe temporarily disabled if the negative termi-nal on the vehicle's start battery is used toconnect an external start battery or a battery charger. Only the negative connection point
in the engine compartment may be used as a ground point.
NOTE
If the start battery is completely discharged and the vehicle has no normal electrical func-tions, and the engine is then started using anauxiliary battery or battery charger, theStart/Stop function will be activated. Theengine can then be auto-stopped but may notauto-start again due to an insufficient chargelevel in the start battery. To help ensure auto-start, the start battery should be charged first. At a temperature ofapprox. 60 °F (15 °C), the battery should becharged for at least 1 hour, preferably usingan external battery charger. At lower tempera-tures, the battery should be charged for3–4 hours. If a charger is not available, it is advisable to disable the Start/Stop function until the bat-tery is sufficiently recharged.
