Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS)*
General
TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
warns the driver when the pressure is too low
in one or more of the car's tyres. It uses sen-
sors located inside the air valve in each
wheel. When the car is driven at
about 40 km/h the system detects the tyre
pressure. If the pressure is too low then a
warning lamp
in the combined instrument
panel illuminates and a message is shown in
the information display.
Only factory fitted wheels are equipped with
TPMS sensors in the valves.
If wheels without TPMS sensors are used or if
a sensor has failed then
Service required
will be shown.
Always check the system after changing a
wheel in order to ensure that replacement
wheels work with the system.
For information on correct tyre pressures, see
page 408.
The system does not replace normal tyre
maintenance.

If a fault should arise in the tyre pressure
system a warning lamp
bined instrument will illuminate and a mes-
sage will be shown. This can be for various
reasons, e.g. fitting a wheel not equipped
with a sensor adapted for Volvo's tyre
pressure monitoring system.
Adjust the tyre pressure monitoring
system (recalibration)
Tyre pressure monitoring can be adjusted in
order to follow Volvo's tyre pressure recom-
mendations, when driving with a heavy load
for example.
Tyre press. syst
The engine must not be running when the
tyres are calibrated.
The settings are made with the control in the
centre console,see page 212.
1. Inflate the tyres to the required pressure
and select key position I or II.
2. Select the menu system MY CAR to open

4. Press OK.
5. Start the car and drive at least at 40 km/h
for a total of at least 1 minute and check
that the message disappears.
> Then the TPMS is recalibrated to the
new tyre pressure.
Rectifying low tyre pressure
If a message for low tyre pressure is shown in
the display:
1. Check the tyre pressure in all four tyres.
2. Inflate the tyre(s) to the correct pressure.
3. Drive at least at 40 km/h for a total of at
least 1 minute and check that the mes-
sage disappears.
