Rectifying low tyre pressure with
tyre monitoring
*
When the tyre monitoring system, Indirect Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System (ITPMS), gives a
warning, the tyre pressure in one or more of the
car's tyres is too low.
Check and rectify the tyre pressure
when the indicator symbol for ITPMS is
illuminated and the message
Tyre
pressure low
is shown. Calibrate
ITPMS after the tyre pressure has been adjusted.
1. Check the tyre pressure in all four tyres with
a tyre pressure gauge.
2. Inflate the tyres to the correct pressure as
indicated on the tyre pressure label on the
door pillar on the driver's side.
3. Recalibrate the ITPMS system, see the sec-
tion "Calibrating tyre monitoring".
4. Drive the car at a speed above 35 km/h
(22 mph).
Note that the ITPMS symbol does not extin-
guish until the low tyre pressure has been
rectified and new calibration has been per-
formed.
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 kil-
ometres of driving, the tyres warm up and the
pressure increases.
•
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.
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.

Calibrating tyre monitoring
*
In order for the Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System (ITPMS) to work correctly, a reference
value for the tyre pressure must be determined.
This must be performed each time the tyres are
changed or the tyre pressure is changed.
For example, when driving with a heavy load or at
high speed above 160 km/h (100 mph), the tyre
pressure should be adjusted in accordance with
Volvo's recommended tyre pressure values. Fol-
lowing which, the system must be recalibrated.
1. Switch off the car.
2. Inflate the tyres to the desired pressure in
accordance with the tyre pressure label on
the door pillar on the driver's side.
3. Start the car.
4. Open the
Car status
app in the app view.
5. Press
TPMS
.
The car must be stationary when calibration is
started.
6. Press
Calibrate
.
7. Tap on
OK
to confirm that the tyre pressure
in all four tyres has been checked and
adjusted.
8. Drive the car.
Calibration is performed when the car is
driven at a speed above 35 km/h (22 mph).
Calibration is interrupted temporarily if the
engine is switched off, but is resumed auto-
matically in the background when the car is
driven again.
> When sufficient data has been collected
to enable the system to detect low tyre
pressure, the tyres in the centre display
change colour from grey to green. The
system provides no additional confirma-
tion that the calibration is complete.
If calibration fails, a message is shown:
Calibration unsuccessful. Please try
again.
.
Remember that the TPMS system must be
recalibrated at each tyre change or if the tyre
pressure is adjusted. New reference values
must be stored for the system to work cor-
rectly.

Emergency puncture repair kit
The emergency puncture repair kit, Temporary
Mobility Kit (TMK), is used to seal a puncture as
well as to check and adjust the air pressure.
The puncture repair kit consists of a compressor
and a bottle with sealing fluid. The sealing works
as a temporary repair. The sealing fluid effectively
seals tyres punctured in the tread.
The puncture repair kit has limited capacity to
seal tyres which have punctures in the wall. Do
not use the puncture repair kit on tyres that have
larger slits, cracks or similar damage.
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture in
the tread.
The compressor for temporary emergency
puncture repair has been tested and
approved by Volvo.
Location
The puncture repair kit is located in the foam
block under the floor in the cargo area.
Sealing fluid bottle
The bottle of sealing fluid must be replaced if the
bottle's expiry date has passed (see the decal on
the bottle). Treat the old bottle as environmentally
hazardous waste.
The sealing fluid bottle must be replaced after
use. Volvo recommends that the replacement is
performed by an authorised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
The bottle with sealing fluid contains 1.2-
Ethanol and natural rubber-latex.
•
Harmful if ingested.
•
Could result in allergic reaction in the
event of skin contact.
•
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
•
Store out of the reach of children.
WARNING
•
In the event of skin contact with the seal-
ing fluid, it must be washed off immedi-
ately with soap and plenty of water.
•
Sealing fluid that makes contact with an
eye must be rinsed away immediately with
eye wash fluid or with plenty of water. If
the discomfort persists then the eye
should be examined by a doctor.

1. Set up the warning triangle and activate the
hazard warning lights if a tyre is being sealed
in a trafficked location.
If the puncture was caused by a nail or simi-
lar, allow this to remain in the tyre. It helps to
seal the hole.
2. Detach the decal for maximum permitted
speed that is affixed on one side of the com-
pressor. Affix it visibly on the windscreen as a
reminder to observe the speed limit. You
should not drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph) after the emergency tyre repair kit
has been used.
3. Check that the switch is in position 0 (Off),
and locate the electrical cable and the air
hose.
4. Unscrew the orange-coloured cap from the
compressor, and unscrew the cork from the
sealing fluid bottle.
Do not break the bottle's seal before use. The
seal is broken automatically when the bottle is
screwed in.

5. Screw in the bottle to the bottom of the bot-
tle holder.
> The bottle and the bottle holder are
equipped with a reverse catch to prevent
sealant leakage. When the bottle is
screwed in it cannot be unscrewed from
the bottle holder again. Bottle removal
must be performed at a workshop, Volvo
recommends an authorised Volvo work-
shop.
WARNING
•
In the event of skin contact with the seal-
ing fluid, it must be washed off immediately
with soap and plenty of water.
•
Sealing fluid that makes contact with an
eye must be rinsed away immediately with
eye wash fluid or with plenty of water. If the
discomfort persists then the eye should be
examined by a doctor.
WARNING
Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped with
a reverse catch to prevent leakage.
6. Unscrew the tyre's dust cap.
Check that the pressure reducing valve on
the air hose is fully screwed on, and screw in
the air hose's valve connection to the bottom
of the tyre valve's thread.
7. Connect the electrical cable to the closest
12 V socket and start the car.
Make sure that none of the other 12 V sock-
ets is in use when the compressor is operat-
ing.
WARNING
Do not leave children in the car without
supervision when the engine is running.
8. Start the compressor by flicking the switch to
position I (On).
WARNING
Never stand next to the tyre when the com-
pressor is running. If cracks or unevenness
arise then the compressor must be switched
off immediately. The journey should not be
continued. Call roadside assistance for recov-
ery to a tyre centre. Volvo recommends an
authorised tyre centre.
When the compressor starts, the pressure
can increase up to 6 bar (88 psi) but the
pressure drops after approximately
30 seconds.
9. Inflate the tyre for 7 minutes.
The compressor must not be operated for
longer than 10 minutes - risk of overheating.

10. Switch off the compressor to check the pres-
sure on the pressure gauge. Minimum pres-
sure is 1.8 bar (22 psi) and maximum is
3.5 bar (51 psi). Release air using the pres-
sure reducing valve if the tyre pressure is too
high.
WARNING
If the pressure is below 1.8 bar (22 psi) then
the hole in the tyre is too big. The journey
should not be continued. Call roadside assis-
tance for recovery to a tyre centre. Volvo rec-
ommends an authorised tyre centre.
11. Switch off the compressor and detach the
electrical cable.
12. Unscrew the air hose from the tyre valve and
refit the dust cap on the tyre.
13. Fit the protective cap on the air hose in order
to avoid leakage of the remaining sealing
fluid. Place the equipment in the cargo area.
14. As soon as possible, drive at least 3 km
(2 miles) at a maximum speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph) so that the sealing fluid can seal
the tyre, and then perform a follow-up check.
Sealant will spurt out of the puncture during
the first few rotations of the tyre.
WARNING
Make sure that nobody is standing near the
car and gets the sealing fluid splashed onto
them when the car is driven away. The dis-
tance should be at least 2 metres (7 feet).
15. Follow-up inspection
Connect the air hose on the tyre valve and
screw in the valve connection to the bottom
of the tyre valve's thread. The compressor
must be switched off.
16. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure
gauge.
•
If it is below 1.3 bar (19 psi) then the tyre
is insufficiently sealed. The journey should
not be continued. Call roadside assistance
for recovery.
•
If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3 bar
(19 psi), the tyre must be inflated to the
pressure specified in accordance with the
tyre pressure label on the driver's side
door pillar (1 bar = 100 kPa). Release air
using the pressure reducing valve if the
tyre pressure is too high.
17. If the tyre needs to be inflated:
1. Connect the electrical cable to the closest
12 V socket and start the car.
2. Start the compressor and inflate the tyre
to the pressure specified in accordance
with the tyre pressure label.
3. Switch off the compressor.

replaced after use. Volvo recommends that
this replacement is performed by an author-
ised Volvo workshop.
WARNING
Check the tyre pressure regularly.
Volvo recommends that the car is driven to the
nearest authorised Volvo workshop for the
replacement/repair of the damaged tyre. Advise
the workshop that the tyre contains sealing fluid.
WARNING
•
You should not drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph) after the emergency tyre repair
kit has been used.
•
Maximum mileage with tyres containing
sealing fluid is 200 km (120 miles).

Tool for removing the plastic caps on the wheel bolts.
The normal car jack is only designed for occa-
sional, short-term use, such as when chang-
ing a wheel after a puncture, changing to win-
ter/summer wheels, etc. Only the jack for the
specific car model may be used to raise the
car. If the car is to be jacked up more often, or
for a longer time than is required just to
change a wheel, use of a garage jack is rec-
ommended. In this instance, follow the
instructions for use that come with the equip-
ment.
4. Place chocks in front of and behind the
wheels which will remain on the ground to
prevent them from rolling. Use heavy wooden
blocks or large stones for example.

WARNING
Never position anything between the ground
and the jack, nor between the jack and the
car's jacking point.
The ground must be firm, smooth and level.
8. When raising the car, it is important that the
jack
* or lifting arms are fitted in the intended
points on the car's underbody. The triangle
markings in the plastic cover indicate the
locations of the jacking/lifting points. There
are two jacking points on each side of the
car. There is a recess for the jack at each
point.
Crank up the jack
* so that it makes contact
with the car's jacking point. Check that the
head of the jack is correctly positioned in the
jacking point so that the bump in the centre
of the head fits into the jacking point hole
and the base is positioned vertically below
the jacking point. Also make sure you turn
the jack so that the crank is as far away from
the side of the car as possible, at which point
the jack's arms are perpendicular to the
direction of the car.
WARNING
Never crawl under the car when it is raised on
the jack.
Passengers must leave the car when it is
raised on the jack. If a wheel must be
changed in a trafficked environment, passen-
gers must stand in a safe place.

Winter wheels
Winter wheels are adapted for winter road con-
ditions.
Volvo recommends winter tyres with particular
dimensions. Tyre dimensions are dependent on
engine variant. When driving on winter tyres, the
correct type of tyres must be fitted to all four
wheels.
Contact a Volvo dealer for advice about which
wheel rim and type of tyre are most suitable.
Tips for changing to winter tyres
When summer and winter wheels are changed,
mark which side of the car they were mounted
on, for example L for left and R for right.
Studded tyres
Studded winter tyres should be run in gently for
500-1000 km so the studs settle properly into
the tyres. This gives the tyre, and especially the
studs, a longer service life.
The legal provisions for the use of studded
tyres vary from country to country.
Tread depth
Road conditions with ice, slush and low tempera-
tures place considerably higher demands on tyres
than summer conditions. Volvo therefore recom-
mends not to drive on winter tyres that have a
tread depth of less than 4 mm.
Snow chains
Volvo recommends that snow chains are not
used on wheel dimensions greater than
19 inches.
Mounting instructions are supplied with Volvo
original snow chains.
Snow chains may only be used on the front
wheels (also applies to all-wheel drive cars).
Never drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph) with
snow chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as this
wears out both the snow chains and tyres.
WARNING
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equivalent
chains designed for the car model, and tyre
and rim dimensions. Only single-sided snow
chains are permitted.
In the event of uncertainty about the show
chain, Volvo recommends that an authorised
Volvo workshop should be contacted. The
wrong snow chains may cause serious dam-
age to the car and lead to an accident.
