2006 Volvo S60
Please note the following when changing or replacing the factory installed TPMS wheels/tires on the
vehicle:
Only the factory-mounted wheels are equipped with TPMS sensors in the valves.
Only the factory-mounted wheels are equipped with TPMS sensors in the valves.
If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire, this tire does not have a TPMS sensor.
If winter wheels without TPMS sensors are mounted on the vehicle, TIRE PRESS SYST SERVICE
REQUIRED will be displayed each time the vehicle is driven above 25 mph (40 km/h) for 10 minutes or
more.
Once TPMS sensors are properly installed, the warning message should not reappear.
Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors be fitted on all wheels used on the vehicle. 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.
Self supporting run flat tires (option)
Certain models equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) can also be equipped with
self supporting run flat tires. Tires of this type have specially reinforced sidewalls that make it possible
to continue driving in the event of a drop in inflation pressure. Tires of this type are mounted on special
rims.
NOTE: Self supporting run flat tires are only available in conjunction with TPMS. If a self supporting
run flat tire should lose inflation pressure, the yellow TPMS warning symbol (
panel lights up to alert the driver, and a message will be shown in the text window in the instrument
panel.
If this occurs, reduce vehicle speed to a maximum of 50 mph (80 km/h). The vehicle can be driven
approximately 50 miles (80 km), or somewhat farther if the vehicle is not heavily loaded. The tire should
be replaced as soon as possible.
Hard braking and sudden steering maneuvers should be avoided.
In certain cases, it may be difficult to see which self supporting run flat tire is defective. To determine
which tire is damaged, check the inflation pressure of all four tires.
