07174
Terminology•
Tire information placard: A placard
showing the OE (Original Equipment) tire
sizes, recommended inflation pressure,
and the maximum weight the vehicle can
carry.
•
Tire Identification Number (TIN): A num-
ber on the sidewall of each tire providing
information about the tire brand and man-
ufacturing plant, tire size and date of man-
ufacturer.
•
Inflation pressure: A measure of the
amount of air in a tire.
•
Standard load: A class of P-metric or Met-
ric tires designed to carry a maximum load
at 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.
•
Extra load: A class of P-metric or Metric
tires designed to carry a heavier maximum
load at 41 psi [43 psi (2.9 bar) for Metric
tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure
beyond this pressure will not increase the
tires load carrying capability.
•
kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit of air pres-
sure.
•
PSI: Pounds per square inch, a standard
unit of air pressure.
•
B-pillar: The structural member at the side
of the vehicle behind the front door.
•
Bead area of the tire: Area of the tire next
to the rim.
•
Sidewall of the tire: Area between the
bead area and the tread.
•
Tread area of the tire: Area of the perim-
eter of the tire that contacts the road when
mounted on the vehicle.
•
Rim: The metal support (wheel) for a tire or
a tire and tube assembly upon which the
tire beads are seated.
•
Maximum load rating: a figure indicating
the maximum load in pounds and kilo-
grams that can be carried by the tire. This
rating is established by the tire manufac-
turer.
•
Maximum permissible inflation pres-
sure: the greatest amount of air pressure
that should ever be put in the tire. This limit
is set by the tire manufacturer.
•
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
inflation 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 infla-
tion placard(s) located on the driver's sideB-pillar or on the inside of the fuel filler door
on Canadian models, and in the tire infla-
tion table in this chapter.
•
Cold tires: The tires are considered to be
cold when they have the same temperature
as the surrounding (ambient) air. This tem-
perature is normally reached after the car
has been parked for at least 3 hours.
Properly loading your vehicle will provide maxi-
mum return of vehicle design performance.

radio stations in the area in which you are
driving
Searching for stationsThere are two ways to manually tune a radio
station:
1.
Turn the TUNING dial (3) to the desired fre-
quency.
2. Press the left or right arrow key on the
MENU NAVIGATION CONTROL
and
hold it down. The radio scans slowly in the
selected direction and will increase the
scanning speed after a few seconds.
Release the button when the desired fre-
quency appears in the display.
The frequency can be fine-tuned by short
presses on the left/right arrow keys.
Storing preset stationsManually storing a station1. Tune to the desired station.
2. Press and hold the preset button under
which the station is to be stored. The audio
system sound will be interrupted for a few
seconds and
STATION STORED
will
appear in the display.
NOTE
A total of 30 stations can be stored; 10 sta-
tions each in AM, FM1 and FM2.
Automatically storing a stationPressingAUTO (7) automatically searches for
and stores up to ten strong AM or FM stations
in a separate memory. If more than ten stations
are found, the ten strongest ones are stored.
This function is especially useful in areas in
which you are not familiar with radio stations or
their frequencies.
To use the AUTO function:
1.
Select a waveband using the AM/FM but-
ton (1).
2.
Start the search by pressing AUTO until
AUTO STORING
appears in the display.
When the search is completed,
AUTO
STORING
will no longer be displayed. If there
are no stations with sufficient signal strength,
NO AST FOUND
is displayed.
The auto-stored stations can be selected using
the preset buttons (2).
PressEXIT (6) to terminate the automatic stor-
ing function.
When the radio is in auto-store mode,
AUTO
is
shown in the display.
AUTO
disappears when
you return to normal radio mode, which can be
done by briefly pressing AM/FM (1), EXIT (6),
orAUTO (7).
