WARNINGIncorrect 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:
\b
Only the factory-mounted wheels are
equipped with TPMS sensors in the valves.
\b If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary
spare tire, this tire does not have a TPMS
sensor.
\b If wheels without TPMS sensors are moun-
ted on the vehicle, TIRE PRESS SYST

each time the vehicle is driven above
25 mph (40 km/h) for 10 minutes or more.
\b 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.
\b 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 \b
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 tech-
nician.
\b If a tire is changed, or if the TPMS sen-
sor is moved to another wheel, the sen-
sor\fs seal, nut, and valve core should be
replaced.
\b 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\fs mouthpiece straight onto the

damaging the valve.
