Tyres - Air Pressure - Volvo XC 60 Owner's Manual

NOTE
The car's regular jack is designed only for
use occasionally and for a short time, such
as when changing a wheel with a punc-
tured tyre, switching between summer
tyres and winter tyres, etc. Only the jack
belonging to the specific model is to be
used to jack up 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 recommended. In
this instance, follow the instructions for
use that come with the equipment.

Tyres - air pressure

Tyres can have different air pressures which
are measured in bar.
Check the air pressure in the tyres
The tyre pressures must be checked every
month.
This also applies to the car's spare wheel.

NOTE
•
Check the tyre pressure when the
tyres are cold. "Cold tyres" means that
the tyres are at the same temperature
as the outdoor temperature. The tyres
will heat up and the tyre pressures will
increase after driving for a few kilome-
tres.
•
Tyre pressures which are too low will
increase fuel consumption, reduce tyre
service life and impair the car's han-
dling. Driving with tyre pressures
which are too low may lead to the
tyres overheating and sustaining dam-
age. Tyre pressures affect ride com-
fort, road noise and steering.
•
Tyre pressure decreases over time,
this is a natural phenomenon. Tyre
pressure also varies depending on
ambient temperature.
