Glossary of tire terminology
Tire terminology
l Tire information placard: A placard showing the OE (Original Equipment) tire sizes, recommende\
d
inflation pressure, and the maximum weight the vehicle can carry.
l Tire Identification Number (TIN): A number on the sidewall of each tire providing information about
the tire brand and manufacturing plant, tire size and date of manufactur\
er.
l Inflation pressure: A measure of the amount of air in a tire.
l Standard load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a maximum load a\
t 35 psi [37 psi
(2.5 bar) for Metric tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure beyond \
this pressure will not increase the tires
load carrying capability.
l Extra load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a heavier maximu\
m load at 41 psi [43
psi (2.9 bar) for Metric tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure bey\
ond this pressure will not increase the
tires load carrying capability.
l kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit of air pressure.
l PSI: Pounds per square inch, a standard unit of air pressure.
l B-pillar: The structural member at the side of the vehicle behind the front door\
.
l Bead area of the tire: Area of the tire next to the rim.
l Sidewall of the tire: Area between the bead area and the tread.
l Tread area of the tire: Area of the perimeter of the tire that contacts the road when mounted \
on the
vehicle.

l Rim: The metal support (wheel) for a tire or a tire and tube assembly upo\
n which the tire beads are
seated.
l Maximum load rating: a figure indicating the maximum load in pounds and kilograms that can \
be
carried by the tire. This rating is established by the tire manufacturer\
.
l Maximum permissible inflation pressure: the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put
in the tire. This limit is set by the tire manufacturer.
l Recommended tire inflation pressure: inflation pressure, established by Volvo, which is based on the
type of tires that are mounted on a vehicle at the factory. This inflati\
on pressure is affected by the number
of occupants in the car, the amount of cargo, and the speed at which the\
vehicle will be driven for a
prolonged period.
This information can be found on the tire inflation placard(s) located\
on the driver's side B-pillar or on the
inside of the fuel filler door on Canadian models, and in the tire infla\
tion table in this chapter.
l Cold tires: The tires are considered to be cold when they have the same temperatur\
e as the surrounding
(ambient) air. This temperature is normally reached after the car has \
been parked for at least 3 hours.

Vehicle loading
Vehicle loading
Properly loading your vehicle will provide maximum return of vehicle des\
ign performance.
Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following ter\
ms for determining your vehicle's
weight ratings, with or without a trailer, from the vehicle's Federal/Ca\
nadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS/ CMVSS) label, and the vehicle's tire information pla\
card:
Curb weight
The weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard\
equipment. It does not include
passengers, cargo, or optional equipment.
Capacity weight
All weight added to the curb weight, including cargo and optional equipm\
ent. When towing, trailer hitch
tongue load is also part of cargo weight.
NOTE
For trailer towing information, please refer to the section "Towing a tr\
ailer" on
page
146.

Tire rotation
Summer and winter tires
l When switching between summer and winter tires, mark the tires to indica\
te where they were mounted
on the car, e.g. LF = left front, RR = right rear
l Tires with tread designed to roll in only one direction are marked with \
an arrow on the sidewall.
l Incorrectly mounted tires impair the car's braking properties and abilit\
y to force aside rain, snow and
slush.
l The tires with the most tread should always be at the rear (to reduce t\
he risk of skidding).
Contact a Volvo workshop if you are unsure about the tread depth.
Tire rotation
Your vehicle has no recommended tire rotation. The following information\
is intended to help you
understand why.
Tread set
As a tire ages and the rubber cures, front and rear tires set at differe\
nt angles. Therefore, if tires are
rotated, the tread will eventually set at an angle that is a compromise.\
Even if ride, handling, and road
noise may still seem acceptable, they may not be optimal. Further, tires\
that are rotated, but not on a
regular basis, may actually cause more tire noise, faster tire wear, and\
unpleasant changes in steering feel
and vehicle handling.
A tire that can fully adapt to its position will provide better steering\
feel, lower tire noise, and better fuel
economy.
Braking stability performance
Your vehicle is driven mainly by the front tires, which will wear faster\
. This can be beneficial. Having

The following points can be carried out between the normally scheduled m\
aintenance services.
Each time the car is refueled:
l Check the engine oil level
l Clean the windshield, windshield wipers, headlights, and taillights
Monthly:
l Check cold tire pressure in all tires. Inspect the tires for wear.
l Check that engine coolant and other fluid levels are between the indicat\
ed "min" and "max" markings.
l Clean interior glass surfaces with a glass cleaner and soft paper towels\
.
l Wipe driver information displays with a soft cloth.
l Visually inspect battery terminals for corrosion. Corrosion may indicate\
a loose terminal connector, or
a battery near the end of its useful service life. Consult your Volvo re\
tailer for additional information.
As needed:
l Wash the car, including the undercarriage, to reduce wear that can be ca\
used by a buildup of dirt, and

Volvo recommends .
NOTE
Volvo does not recommend the use of oil additives.
l Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal maintena\
nce intervals except at owner
request and at additional charge. Please consult your Volvo retailer.
Checking and adding oil
The oil level should be checked every time the vehicle is refueled. This\
is especially important during the
period up to the first scheduled maintenance service
l The car should be parked on a level surface when the oil is checked.
l If the engine is warm, wait for at least 10-15 minutes after the engine has been switched off \
before
checking the oil.
Checking the oil
1. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a lint-free rag.
2. Reinsert the dipstick, pull it out, and check the oil level.
3. Add oil if necessary. If the level is close to the MIN mark, add appr\
oximately 1 US quart (1 liter) of oil.
4. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
5. Switch off the engine and wait for at least 10-15 minutes and recheck\
the oil level. If necessary, add oil
until the level is near the MAX mark.

Engine oil must meet the minimum ILSAC specification GF-3, API SL, and A\
CEA A1/B1. Lower quality oils may
not offer the same fuel economy, engine performance, or engine protectio\
n.
Volume: 6.1 US qts (5.8 liters).
Volume between the MIN and Max marks on the dipstick: approximately 1.4 \
US qts (1.3 liters).
Volvo recommends
.
Depending on your driving habits, premium or synthetic oils may provide \
superior fuel economy and engine
protection. Consult your Volvo retailer for recommendations on premium o\
r synthetic oils.
Oil additives must not be used.
NOTE
Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal service \
intervals. This oil is only used at customer
request, at additional charge. Please consult your Volvo retailer.
Oil viscosity (stable ambient temperatures)
Operation in hot climates
When temperatures exceed 86° F (30° C) in your area, Volvo recom\
mends, for the protection of your engine, that
you use a heavier weight oil, such as such as SAE 5W-40 or 0W-40. See th\
e viscosity chart.
Operation in temperate climates
Incorrect viscosity oil can shorten engine life. Under normal use when t\
emperatures do not exceed 86° F (30° C),
SAE 5W-30 will provide good fuel economy and engine protection. See the \
viscosity chart.
Extreme engine operation
Synthetic oils meeting SAE 0W-30 or 0W-40 and complying with oil quality\
requirements are recommended for
