vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label, you should determine
the proper tire inflation pressure for those
tires.)
Recommended tire pressure
Tire pressure monitoring system*
The tire pressure monitoring system6 pro-
vides a warning symbol in the instrument
panel if pressure is too low in one or more
tires.
The tire pressure placard on the driver's side
B pillar (between the front and the rear door)
indicates tire pressure for different loads and
speed conditions.
This symbol illuminates to indicate
low inflation pressure.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated. Accord-
ingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illumi-
nates, you should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure.
If there is a system malfunction, the
inflation pressure warning symbol
will flash for approximately one minute and
then glow steadily.
System description
The tire pressure monitoring system measures
differences in rotational speed between the
wheels through the ABS system to determine
if the tires are properly inflated. If inflation
pressure in a tire is too low, its diameter (and
consequently its rotational speed) changes. By
comparing the tires with each other, the sys-
tem can determine if the pressure in one or
more tires is too low.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Please
note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.
The decal specifies the designation for the fac-
tory-mounted tires on the vehicle, as well as
load limits and inflation pressures.

TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists. When the mal-
function indicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended.

To keep in mind

Related information
•
If you switch to a tire of another size than
the factory-mounted tires, the system
must be reset by storing a new inflation
pressure for these tires to avoid false
warnings.
If a spare wheel8 is used, it is possible that
the tire pressure monitoring system will
not work correctly due to the differences
between the wheels.
•
•
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehi-
cle that prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly.
•
•
•
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
The system does not replace the need for
regular tire inspection and maintenance.

Messages in the instrument panel
If tire pressure is too low, the low tire pressure
warning symbol is shown in the instrument
panel along with a message. Check the infla-
tion pressure in the Car Status app in the
center display.
It is not possible to deactivate the tire
pressure monitoring system.

Saving a new inflation pressure in
the monitoring system*
The vehicle must be stationary for the
Store Pressure button to be selectable.
In order for the tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem9 to function correctly, tire pressure refer-
ence values must be saved correctly. To help
ensure that the system can correctly alert the
driver of low inflation pressure, this must be
done each time the tires are changed or the
inflation 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-
recommended tire pressure values. The sys-
tem should then be reset by saving the new
inflation pressure.
WARNING
The exhaust gases contain carbon monox-
ide, which is invisible and odorless but very
poisonous. The procedure for saving a new
inflation pressure must therefore always be
performed outdoors or in a workshop with
exhaust gas extraction.

7.
Tap OK to confirm that the tire pressure in
all four tires has been checked and
adjusted.
8. Drive the vehicle until the new inflation
pressure has been saved. The new infla-
tion pressure is stored when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over 35 km/h (22 mph).

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
temperature 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.
When the inflation pressure monitoring sys-
tem11 detects low inflation pressure in a tire,
immediate action is required.
If the system's indicator symbol illu-
minates and the message Tire
pressure low is displayed, check
the tire pressure and inflate if neces-
sary.

Inflate tires with the compressor included
in the tire sealing system (p. 543)
1. Switch off the ignition.
2. Check the inflation pressure on all four
tires using a tire pressure gauge.
After inflating a tire, always replace the
valve cap to help prevent valve damage
caused by gravel, dirt, etc.
•
•
3. Inflate the tire to the correct inflation pres-
sure; see the tire pressure placard on the
driver's side B pillar for recommended
pressures for factory-mounted tires.
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
4. After the inflation pressure has been
adjusted, always save the new inflation
pressure in the system via the center dis-
play.
WARNING
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead
to tire failure, which could cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Please be aware that the indicator symbol
will not go out until the low tire pressure
has been corrected and a storing proce-
dure has been started for the new inflation
pressure.
The system cannot predict sudden tire
damage.
