Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS)
*

- adjust (recalibration)
TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) uses
a reference value on which the warning for low
tyre pressure is based.
Change the reference value by recalibrating the
system, such as for driving with a heavy load, for
example.
NOTE
For high-speed driving (above 160km/h (100
mph)) the tyre pressure should be adjusted in
accordance with Volvo's recommended tyre
pressure values.
TPMS adjusts the reference value automati-
cally at high speed. For the system to work
correctly, recalibration should not be per-
formed after tyre pressure adjustment that is
intended for high-speed driving.
NOTE
The car must be stationary when calibration is
started.
Settings are made using the centre console's
controls, see MY CAR (p. 115).
1. Inflate the tyres to the desired pressure in
accordance with the tyre pressure label on
the driver's side door pillar (between front
and rear doors).
2. Start the engine.
3. Open the menu system MY CAR .
4. Select the Tyre pressure
menu.
5. Select Calibrate tyre pressure and press
OK .
6. Drive for at least 10 minutes at a speed of at
least 30 km/h (20 mph).
> Calibration is performed automatically fol-
lowing initialisation by the driver. The sys-
tem provides no confirmation when the
calibration is complete.
The new reference values apply until steps 1-5
are carried out again.

- tyre status
Using the tyre pressure monitoring system
TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) it is
possible to check the tyre status in the centre
console's screen.
System and tyre status
The current status of the system and the tyres
can be checked, see MY CAR (p. 115).
1. Open the menu system MY CAR .
2. Select the Tyre pressure
menu.
> Status for tyre pressures is shown with a
colour code.
The status is colour-coded for each tyre in
accordance with the following:
•
All-green: the system is operating normally
and the tyre pressure in all tyres is slightly
above the recommended level.
•
Yellow wheel: corresponding tyre's pressure
is too low.
•
Red wheel: corresponding tyre's pressure is
very low.
•
All wheels grey: the system is temporarily
unavailable. It may be necessary to drive the
car for a few minutes at a speed above
11
Standard in certain markets.
