Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) – changing wheels
Please keep the following in mind when
changing or replacing the factory installed
TPMS wheels/tires on the vehicle:
•
Not all aftermarket wheels are equipped
with TPMS sensors in the valves.
•
If the vehicle is equipped with a tempo-
rary spare tire, this tire does not have a
TPMS sensor.
•
If wheels without TPMS sensors are
mounted on the vehicle, a text message
will displayed in the instrument panel
each time the vehicle is driven above
20 mph (30 km/h) for 10 minutes or more.
•
Once TPMS sensors are properly instal-
led, the warning message should not
reappear. If the message is still displayed,
drive the vehicle for several minutes at a
speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster to
erase the message.
•
Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors
be fitted on all wheels used on the vehi-
cle, including winter tires. Volvo does not
recommend moving sensors back and
forth between sets of wheels.
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.
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 diffi-
cult to remove.
NOTE
•
If you change to tires with a different
dimension than the factory-installed
ones, the TPMS system must be
reconfigured for these tires. This must
be done by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician.
•
If a tire is changed, or if the TPMS sen-
sor is moved to another wheel, the
sensor's seal, nut, and valve core
should be replaced.
•
When installing TPMS sensors, the
vehicle must be parked for at least
15 minutes with the ignition off. If the
vehicle is driven within 15 minutes, a
TPMS error message will be displayed.
