WARNING
When inflating a tyre equipped with TPMS,
hold the nozzle of the pump directly
against the valve to avoid damaging the
valve.
NOTE
•
After a tyre has been inflated, always
refit the dust cap in order to avoid
damage to the valve from gravel, dirt,
etc.
•
Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust
caps can rust and become difficult to
unscrew.
NOTE
If you want to change the tyre dimension
then the TPMS system must be reconfig-
ured. For further information - contact a
Volvo dealer.

rectifying low tyre pressure
The tyre pressure monitoring system TPMS
(Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
26
warns
the driver when the pressure is too low in one
or more of the car's tyres and indicates the
tyre to which it applies.
Yellow is shown at the first indication of low
tyre pressure, stop and check the tyre pres-
sure as soon as possible.
Red indicates a much lower pressure than
recommended, stop and rectify the tyre pres-
sure immediately.
If a message for low tyre pressure is shown in
the display:
1. Check the tyre pressure on the tyre in
question.
2. Inflate the tyre(s) to the correct pressure.
3. Drive at least at 30 km/h for several
minutes and check that the message dis-
appears.

Emergency puncture repair
The emergency puncture repair kit,
Temporary Mobility Kit (TMK), is used to seal
a puncture and check and adjust the tyre
pressure (p. 411).
The emergency puncture repair kit (p. 334)
consists of a compressor and a bottle of seal-
ant. The sealing works as a temporary repair.
The sealing fluid bottle must be replaced
before its expiration date and after use. The
sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punctured
in the tread.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture
in the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
capacity to seal tyres which have punctures
in the wall. Do not seal tyres with the emer-
gency puncture repair kit if they have larger
slits, cracks or similar damage. Connect the
compressor to one of the car's 12 V sockets.
Choose the socket that is nearest to the
punctured tyre.
