Tire Inflation Pressure Tables - Volvo S40 2006 Owner's Manual

2006 Volvo S40
To check inflation pressure:
1. Remove the cap from the valve on one tire, then firmly press the tire gauge onto the valve.
2. Add air to reach the recommended air pressure
3. Replace the valve cap.
4. Repeat this procedure for each tire, including the spare.
5. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other objects embedded that could
puncture the tire and cause an air leak.
6. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts, bulges or other irregularities.
NOTE:
If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the center of the valve. Then
recheck the pressure with your tire gauge.
Some spare tires require higher inflation pressure than the other tires. Consult the tire inflation table
on page 124 or see the inflation pressure placard.
