self supporting run flat tires.
Tires of this type have specially reinforced sidewalls that make it poss\
ible 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 T\
PMS.
If a self supporting run flat tire should lose inflation pressure, the y\
ellow TPMS warning symbol (
) in
the instrument panel lights up to alert the driver, and a message will b\
e 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 f\
lat tire is defective.
To determine which tire is damaged, check the inflation pressure of all \
four tires.
WARNING!
l Only specially trained persons should mount self supporting run flat tir\
es.
l If self supporting run flat tires are mounted, the vehicle must be equip\
ped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System.
l After a low pressure warning has been displayed, do not exceed 50 mph (\
80 km/ h).
l Avoid severe cornering and hard braking, and minimize the distance trave\
led before replacing the
self supporting run flat tire.
l Self supporting run flat tires cannot be repaired. They must be replaced\
if damaged or punctured.

Replacing bulbs
When replacing bulbs, keep the following points in mind:
l Never touch the glass of bulbs with your fingers. Grease and oils from y\
our fingers vaporize in the
heat and will leave a deposit on the reflector, which will damage it.
l The optional Active Bi-Xenon headlight bulbs contain trace amounts of me\
rcury. These bulbs should
always be disposed of by an authorized Volvo retailer.
l The following bulbs should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo servi\
ce technician:
- Active Bi-Xenon headlights,
- Courtesy (dome) lighting,
- Reading lights,
- Glove compartment lights
- Turn signals and courtesy lights in the side door mirrors
- High-mounted brake lights
- Diodes in the rear tail lights
Replacing bulbs at the front of the vehicle
All front bulbs (except the optional front fog lights) are replaced fr\
om the engine compartment.
WARNING!
Active Bi-Xenon headlights (option) - due to the high voltage used by \
these headlights, these bulbs
should only be replaced by an authorized Volvo service technician.
