07 Wheels and tyres
Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS)*
will be shown every time the car is driven
faster than 40 km/h for more than 10
minutes.
•
Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors are
fitted to all wheels on the car.
•
Volvo recommends that sensors are not
moved between different wheels.
WARNING
When inflating a tyre equipped with TPMS,
hold the nozzle of the pump directly against
the valve to avoid damaging the valve.
Driveable punctured tyres*
If Self Supporting run flat Tyres (SST)* have
been selected then the car is also equipped
with TPMS.
This type of tyre has a specially reinforced side
wall that makes continued driving possible to
a limited extent despite the tyre losing some
pressure. These tyres are fitted on a special
rim. (Normal tyres can also be fitted to this rim).
07
If an SST tyre loses tyre pressure then the yel-
low TPMS lamp on the instrument panel illumi-
nates and a message is shown in the text
panel. If this occurs, reduce speed to
max. 80 km/h. The tyre must be replaced as
soon as possible.

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Drive carefully, in some cases it can be difficult
to see which tyre is faulty. In order to establish
which tyre needs attention, check all four tyres.
WARNING
SST tyres should only be fitted by individu-
als with expertise on SST tyres.
SST tyres must only be fitted together with
TPMS.
After a fault message on low tyre pressure
has been shown, do not drive faster than
80 km/h.
Maximum driving distance to tyre change is
80 km.
Avoid hard driving such as sudden braking
or turning.
SST tyres must be replaced if they are dam-
aged or punctured.
