Vehicle Loading - Volvo CROSS COUNTRY 2011 Owner's Manual

2001 VOLVO Cross Country
Checking and correcting tire pressure
Check the tire pressure regularly.
The tire pressure should be corrected only when the tires are cold.
With warm tires, correct only when the pressure is too low. The tire temperature rises after driving
just a few miles.

Vehicle loading

The tires on your Volvo should perform to specifications at all normal loads when inflated as
recommended on the tire informa-tion label. The label is located on the inside of the fuel filler door. The
label lists both tire and vehicle design limits. Do not load your car beyond the load limits indicated.
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires will reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle handling and can possibly lead
to failure resulting in loss of vehicle control without prior warning.
Temporary Spare
The spare tire in your car is called a "Temporary Spare". It has the following designation: T125/80 R17
(T135/90 R17 on the V70 XC).
At the recommended tire pressure shown on the inside of the fuel filler door, the tire may be used as a
temporary replacement for a front or rear tire.
