NOTE
•
The TPMS system uses a so-called
compensated pressure value, based
on both tyre temperature and ambient
temperature. This means that the tyre
pressure may differ slightly from the
recommended pressures listed on the
tyre pressure label on the driver's side
door pillar (between front and rear
doors). For this reason, it may be nec-
essary to inflate the tyres to a slightly
higher pressure in order to clear a low
tyre pressure message.
•
To avoid incorrect tyre pressure, the
pressure should be checked on cold
tyres. "Cold tyres" means the tyres are
the same temperature as the ambient
temperature (approx. 3 hours after the
car has been driven). After a few kilo-
metres of driving, the tyres warm up
and the pressure increases.
WARNING
•
Incorrect tyre pressure may lead to
tyre failure, which could result in the
driver losing control of the car.
•
The system cannot indicate sudden
tyre damage in advance.

Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS) (Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System)* warns the
driver when the pressure is too low in one or
more of the car's tyres.
NOTE
The car must be stationary when the tyre
pressure monitoring is activated/deacti-
vated.
Settings are made using the centre console's
controls, see MY CAR (p. 114).
1. Start the engine.
2. Select the menu system MY CAR to open

recommendations
Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS) (Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System)* warns the
driver when the pressure is too low in one or
more of the car's tyres.
•
Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors
are fitted to all wheels on the car, includ-
ing winter wheels.
•
Volvo recommends that sensors are not
moved between different wheels.
•
The spare wheel is not equipped a with
TPMS sensor.
•
If the spare wheel or a wheel without a
TPMS sensor is used, the error message
Tyre pressure system Service
required will be shown in the combined
instrument panel.
•
If a wheel has been changed, or if the
TPMS sensor has been moved to another
wheel then the seal, nut and valve core
must be replaced.
•
When TPMS sensors are installed, the car
should be switched off for at least 15
minutes otherwise an error message will
be shown in the combined instrument
panel.
