Tire pressure monitoring - overview
Volvo provides two different systems to monitor
tire pressure: Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) or Tire Monitor.
Determining which tire monitoring
system is in your vehicle
To see which system is installed in your vehicle,
press the
MY CAR
button on the center console.

Introduction
Each tire, including the spare
14
(if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and infla-
ted to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label,
you should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
( ) when one or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop
and check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire cau-
ses the tire to overheat and can lead to tire fail-
ure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability. Please note that a
tire pressure monitoring system is not a substi-
tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driv-
er's responsibility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the system's low
tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly. The monitoring
system's malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the tell-
tale will flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When
the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the sys-
tem may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended.
System malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement
or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the tire pressure monitoring system from
functioning properly.
Always check the system's malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the system to
continue to function properly.
NOTE
The system indicates low tire pressure but
does not replace normal tire maintenance. For
information on correct tire pressure, please
refer to the tire inflation decal on the driver's
door opening or consult your Volvo retailer.
WARNING
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire
failure, resulting in a loss of control of the
vehicle.
