* Option/accessory. 561
Calibrating the tire pressure
monitoring system*
In order for the tire pressure monitoring system,
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), to
function correctly, tire pressure reference values
must be set correctly. This must be done each
time the tires are changed or the tire pressure is
adjusted.
For example, when driving with a heavy load or at
high speeds (over 160 km/h (100 mph)), tire
pressure should be adjusted to the Volvo-recom-
mended tire pressure values. The system should
then be recalibrated.
1.

Switch off the ignition.
2. Inflate the tires to the pressure indicated on the tire pressure placard on the driver's side
B pillar.
3. Start the vehicle.
4. Open the Car status app in App view. 5.
Tap TPMS.NOTE The car must be stationary when calibration is
started.
6.
Tap Calibrate.
7. Tap OK to confirm that the tire pressure in
all four tires has been checked and adjusted. 8.

Run the car until calibration is complete.
Calibration is done when the vehicle is driv-
ing at a speed above 35 km/h (22 mph).
> When enough data has been collected for the system to detect low tire pressure, the
color of the tire symbols in the center dis-
play will change from gray to green. The
system will not provide any other confir-
mation that calibration has been comple-
ted.
If the car's ignition is switched off before
calibration is complete, the tires in the
center display change color from gray to
green upon next start-up, even if calibra-
tion is not complete. Perform the calibra-
tion again and allow it to complete within
the same operating cycle to ensure that
the calibration is carried out correctly.
If start-up of calibration fails, the following
message appears: Calibration
unsuccessful. Try again..

unavailable. The indicator symbol will flash
for about 1 minute and then glow steadily.
The system is temporarily unavailable and will
be activated momentarily.
• Tire pressure system Service required.
The indicator symbol will flash for about 1

tem* (p. 561)
• Action when warned of low tire pressure
(p. 563)
• Tire pressure monitoring system* (p. 559)
• Vehicle status (p. 602) Action when warned of low tire
pressure
When the tire pressure monitoring system, Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), detects
low pressure in one or more of the vehicle's
tires, the driver will be alerted that action is nee-
ded. If the system's indicator symbol illumi-
nates and the message Tire pressure
low is displayed, check the tire pres-
sure and inflate if necessary. 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 pressure (see the tire pressure decal on the driver's side
door pillar).
4. Through calibration of the system via the center display after the tire pressure has
been adjusted.
Please be aware that the indicator symbol
will not go out until the low tire pressure has
been corrected and the system has been
recalibrated.
NOTE To help prevent incorrect inflation pressure,
pressure should be checked when the tires
are cold. The tires are considered to be cold
when they have reached the same tempera-
ture as the ambient temperature (about 3
hours after the vehicle was last driven). After
driving for a few kilometers, the tires will warm
up and the pressure will increase.
NOTE
•
After inflating a tire, always replace the
valve cap to help prevent valve damage
caused by gravel, dirt, etc.
• Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
WARNING •
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to
tire failure, which could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle.
• The system cannot predict sudden tire
damage. 9
An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.

intended for this such as MP3 players, coolers
and cellular phones.
The high-voltage outlet* can be used for devices
intended for this, such as chargers, laptops, etc. The ignition must be in at least mode I for the
outlets to supply current. The outlets will then be
active as long as there is sufficient charge in the
start battery.
If the engine is turned off and the vehicle is
locked, the outlets will be deactivated. If the
engine is turned off and the vehicle remains
unlocked, the sockets will remain active for up to
7 minutes.
NOTE Bear in mind that using the electrical outlets
when the engine is off could cause the starter
battery to have too low of a charge level,
which could limit other functionality.
Accessories connected to the electrical out-
lets can be activated even when the vehicle
electrical system is off or if preconditioning is
used. For this reason, disconnect plugs when
they are not in use to prevent the starter bat-
tery from becoming discharged.

Coolant helps keep the combustion engine at
the right operating temperature. The heat trans-
ferred from the engine to the coolant can be
used to warm the passenger compartment.
When refilling coolant, follow the instructions on
the package. Never fill the cooling system with
only water. The risk of freezing is increased with
too low or too high amounts of coolant.
If there is coolant under the vehicle, smoke from
the cooling system, or if more than 2 liters (about
2 quarts) of coolant has been added to the sys-
tem, there could be something wrong with the
cooling system and starting the vehicle could
damage the engine. Call a tow truck and do not
attempt to start the engine.
WARNING The coolant may be very hot. Never unscrew
the cap when the coolant is hot. If coolant
must be filled, unscrew the expansion tank
cap slowly to relieve overpressure. Coolant expansion tank.
