- recommendations
Recommendations for the tyre pressure monitor-
ing system TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System).
•
Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors are
fitted to all wheels on the car, including win-
ter 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.
•
Always check the system after changing a
wheel in order to ensure that replacement
wheels work with the system.
•
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.
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 reconfigured. For
further information - contact a Volvo dealer.

- rectifying low tyre
pressure
When the tyre pressure monitoring system
TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) gives
a warning, the tyre pressure is too low in one or
more of the car's tyres.
If a tyre pressure message has been shown and
the TPMS indicator lamp has been illuminated:
1. Check the tyre pressure on the indicated
tyre/tyres with a tyre pressure gauge.
2. Inflate the tyre/tyres to the correct pressure
in accordance with the tyre pressure label on
the driver's side door pillar (between front
and rear doors).
3. In some cases it may be necessary to drive
the car for a few minutes at a speed above
30 km/h (20 mph) in order to clear the mes-
sage. At which point, the TPMS indicator
lamp is extinguished as well.
