Tire Monitor – Messages - Volvo V60 Owner's Manual

Tire Monitor – messages
When low tire pressure has been detected, a
message will be displayed and the tire pressure
warning telltale in the instrument panel (
will illuminate.
Messages
If the telltale illuminates, one of the following
message will also be displayed:
•
Tire pressure low Check, adjust and
/
calibrate
•
Tire pressure system Service required
/
•
Tire pressure system Currently
/
unavailable
Erasing warning messages
To erase a low tire pressure message and turn
off the telltale:
1. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the infla-
tion pressure of all four tires.
2. Re-inflate the tires to the correct pressure
(consult the tire pressure decal on the driv-
er's door opening.
3. Recalibrate Tire Monitor, see Calibrating Tire
Monitor (p. 93).
NOTE
To help avoid incorrect tire inflation pressure,
only inflate the tires when they are cold. The
)
tires are considered to be cold when they
have the same temperature as the surround-
ing (ambient) air. This temperature is normally
reached after the vehicle has been parked for
at least 3 hours. After driving a distance of
approximately 1 mile (1.6 km), the tires are
considered to be hot.
CAUTION
•
After inflating the tires, always reinstall
the valve cap to help avoid damage to the
valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
•
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
WARNING
•
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to
tire failure, resulting in a loss of control of
the vehicle.
•
Tire monitoring systems cannot indicate
sudden tire damage caused by external
factors (e.g., a blowout) in advance.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) – general information
TPMS uses sensors mounted in the tire valves
to check inflation pressure levels. When the
vehicle is moving at a speed of approximately
20 mph (30 km/h) or faster, these sensors
transmit inflation pressure data to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
