Erasing warning messages

come on:
1. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the inflation pressure of all four tires.
2. Re-inflate the tire(s) to the correct pressure (consult the tire pressure placard or the table on
3. Drive the car for at least one minute at a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster. This will erase the
warning text and the warning light will go out.
WARNING!
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in a loss of control of the
vehicle.

Changing tires

Please note the following when changing or replacing the factory installed TPMS wheels/tires on the
vehicle:
Only the factory-mounted wheels are equipped with TPMS sensors in the valves.
If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire, this tire does not have a TPMS sensor.
If, for example, winter wheels/tires are used that are not equipped with TPMS sensors, the message
TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM SERVICE REQUIRED will be displayed after the car has been driven for
several minutes at approximately 35 mph (50 km/h) or faster.
This message will remain on until wheels with TPMS sensors are mounted on the vehicle and it has been
driven for at least one minute at a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster.
pg. 117 Wheels and tires
TPMS valves can be fitted on winter wheels or full-size spare wheels/tires. Consult your Volvo retailer.
CAUTION:
When inflating tires with TPMS valves, press the pump's mouthpiece straight onto the valve to help
avoid bending or otherwise damaging the valve.
