WARNING
Connect and disconnect the positive and negative cables in the correct sequence.
Removal
Switch off the ignition and wait at least 5 minutes before disconnecting the battery so that all information in the
vehicle's electrical system can be stored in the control modules.
Open the clips on the front cover and remove the cover.
Release the rubber moulding so that the rear cover is free.
Remove the rear cover by pulling it away.
NOTE
TPMS indicates low tire pressure but does not replace normal tire maintenance. For information on correct tire
pressure, please refer to the tables beginning on page 240
, or consult your Volvo retailer.
The tire pressure warning light will not identify which tire is under-inflated. Be sure to check all four tires.
A certain amount of air seepage from the tires occurs naturally and tire pressure fluctuates with seasonal changes
in temperature. Always check tire pressure regularly.
Erasing warning messages
When a low tire pressure warning message has been displayed, and the tire pressure warning light has come on:
1. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the inflation pressure of all four tires.
2. Re-inflate the tire(s) to the correct pressure (consult the tire pressure placard or the tables beginning on page 240
).
3. In certain cases, it may be necessary to drive the vehicle for several minutes at a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or
faster. This will erase the warning text and the warning light will go out.
WARNING
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle.
Changing wheels with TPMS
Please note the following when changing or replacing the factory installed TPMS wheels/tires on the vehicle:
Only the factory-mounted wheels are equipped with TPMS sensors in the valves.
If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire, this tire does not have a TPMS sensor.
If wheels without TPMS sensors are mounted on the vehicle, TIRE PRESS SYST SERVICE REQUIRED will be
displayed each time the vehicle is driven above 25 mph (40 km/h) for 10 minutes or more.
Once TPMS sensors are properly installed, the warning message should not reappear. If the message is still
displayed, drive the vehicle for several minutes at a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster to erase the message.
Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors be fitted on all wheels used on the vehicle. Volvo does not recommend
moving sensors back and forth between sets of wheels.
NOTE
If you change to tires with a different recommended inflation pressure, the TPMS system must be recalibrated to
these tires. This must be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
If a tire is changed, or if the TPMS sensor is moved to another wheel, the sensor's seal, nut, and valve core should
be replaced.
When installing TPMS sensors, the vehicle must be parked for at least 15 minutes with the ignition off. if the
vehicle is driven within 15 minutes, a TPMS error message will be displayed.
CAUTION
When inflating tires with TPMS valves, press the pump's mouthpiece straight onto the valve to help avoid bending or
otherwise damaging the valve.
