Insert flat end of lug wrench and turn/pull straight
outThe spare wheel is located under the carpet on
the trunk floor. The jack and crank are secured
in the wheel recess.
There are two jack attachment points on each
side of the vehicle (see illustration below).To change a wheel:1. Engage the parking brake.
2.
Put the gear selector in P (automatic trans-
mission) or reverse (manual transmission).

Loosen the wheel bolts3. Remove the wheel cap (where applicable)
using the lug wrench in the tool bag.
4. With the vehicle still on the ground, use the
lug wrench to loosen the wheel bolts 1/2 -
1 turn by exerting downward pressure.
Turn the bolts counterclockwise to loosen.
CAUTION
•
The vehicle must not be driven with
wheels of different dimensions or with a
spare tire other than the one that came
with the vehicle. The use of different size
wheels can seriously damage your vehi-
cle's transmission.
•
Correct tightening torque on wheel
bolts must be observed. The wheel
bolts should never be greased or lubri-
cated. The extended, chromed wheel
bolts must not be used with steel rims,
as they make it impossible to fit the hub
caps.
•
Locking wheel bolts can be used on
both aluminum and steel wheels. If hub
caps are used on steel wheels, the lock-
ing wheel bolt should be mounted in the
hole as far from the tire's inflation valve
as possible. It would otherwise not be
possible to mount the hub cap on the
wheel.

Attaching the jack1. Position the jack correctly on the bar in the
attachment (see illustration) and crank
while simultaneously guiding the base of
the jack to the ground. The base of the jack
must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery
surface. Before raising the vehicle, check
that the jack is still correctly positioned in
the attachment.
2. Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be
changed is lifted off the ground.
3. Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and
carefully remove the wheel so as not to
damage the threads on the studs.

NOTE
To avoid excessive wear and the necessity
of rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in
the same location and position as before
removal. To lessen the chance of imbal-
ance, each wheel hub is equipped with a
guide stud to ensure that a removed wheel
can be reinstalled in its original position (as
when changing over to winter tires/wheels).Installing the wheel1. Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel
and hub.
2. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub.3. Install the wheel bolts and tighten hand-
tight. Using the lug wrench, tighten cross-
wise until all bolts are snug.
4. Lower the vehicle to the ground and alter-
nately tighten the bolts crosswise to 102 ft.
lbs. (140 Nm).
5. Install the wheel cap (where applicable).

07 Wheels and tiresTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - U.S. models
07172
The tire pressure monitoring system uses sen-
sors mounted in the tire valves to check infla-
tion pressure levels. When the vehicle is
moving at a speed of approximately 20 mph
(30 km/h) or faster, these sensors transmit
inflation pressure data to a receiver located in
the vehicle.USA - FCC ID: MRXG403MA4
A
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
rules. Operation is subject to the following
conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause unde-
sired operation.AOn certain models, the FCC code is MRXTG315AM04When low inflation pressure is detected, TPMS
will light up the tire pressure warning light (also
referred to as a telltale) in the instrument panel,
and will display a message in the text window.
The wording of this message is determined by
the degree of inflation pressure loss.
NOTE
If a fault occurs in TPMS, the tire pressure
warning light will flash for approximately
1 minute and
TIRE PRESS SYST
SERVICE REQUIRED
will be displayed.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated 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 (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly 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 pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute
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 TPMS 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
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale 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 mal-
function indicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS 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 TPMS to continue to
function properly.

NOTE
TPMS indicates low tire pressure but does
not replace normal tire maintenance. For
information on correct tire pressure, please
refer to the tables on pages 158 and 159, or
consult your Volvo retailer.Erasing warning messagesWhen a low tire pressure warning message has
been displayed, and the tire pressure warning
light has come on:•
Use a tire pressure gauge to check the
inflation pressure of all four tires.
•
Re-inflate the tire(s) to the correct pressure
(consult the tire pressure placard or the
tables on pages 158 and 159).
•
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 TPMSPlease 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 moun-
ted 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.
•
Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors be
fitted on all wheels used on the vehicle.
Volvo does not recommend moving sen-
sors back and forth between sets of
wheels.NOTE
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.
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.
