Rear seat head restraints
Adjust the head restraint vertically
Both of the rear seating positions are equipped
with a head restraint that can be adjusted ver-
tically to two different positions to help suit the
height of the passenger. The upper edge of the
head restraint should be at least on a level with
the upper-most point of the seat occupant's
ear (see illustration).

To raise: Slide the head restraint up to the
desired height.

To lower: Press the catch at the base of the
right support and press the head restraint
down.

To remove: Pull the head restraint up far as
possible. Press the catch at the base of the
right support and pull the head restraint out
of the its holders.
WARNING
If a head restraint has been removed, it must
be put properly back in place and it must
lock (click) into one of the available adjust-
ment positions before the seat is occupied.
Folding down the rear seat backrests
G009109
CAUTION
•When the backrests are folded down,
the head restraints may be damaged if
they are not removed.
•To help prevent damage to the uphols-
tery when the backrest is folded down,
be sure that there are no objects on the
seat and that the seat belt is not buck-
led.
Both sections of the rear seat backrest can be
folded down, together or separately, to enable
you to transport long objects.

Ideally, tire rotation should be done the first
time after approximately 3,000 miles
(5, 000 km) and thereafter at 6,000 mile
(10,000 km) intervals.
Tire rotation should only be performed if front/
rear tire wear is fairly even and tread height is
above 1/16" (1.6 mm).
NOTE
Tire rotation is not included in regularly
scheduled maintenance and is performed
only at customer request, at additional
charge.
Your Volvo retailer can also provide guidance
based on your particular driving circumstan-
ces.
Tread wear indicator
G020323
The tires have wear indicator strips running
across or parallel to the tread. The letters TWI
are printed on the side of the tire. When
approximately 1/16" (1.6 mm) is left on the
tread, these strips become visible and indicate
that the tire should be replaced. Tires with less
than 1/16" (1.6 mm) tread offer very poor trac-
tion.
When replacing worn tires, it is recommended
that the tire be identical in type (radial) and size
as the one being replaced. Using a tire of the
same make (manufacturer) will prevent altera-
tion of the driving characteristics of the vehicle.

Federal law mandates that tire manufacturers
place standardized information on the sidewall
of all tires (see the illustration).
The following information is listed on the tire
sidewall:
The tire designation:
NOTE
Please be aware that the following tire des-
ignation is an example only and that this
particular tire may not be available on your
vehicle.
215: The width of the tire (in millimeters)
from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. The
larger the number, the wider the tire.
65: The ratio of the tire's height to its width
in percent.
R: Radial tire.
15: The diameter of the wheel rim (in
inches).
95: The tire's load index. In this example, a
load index of 95 equals a maximum load of
1521 lbs (690 kg).
H: The tire's speed rating, or the maximum
speed at which the tire is designed to be
driven for extended periods of time, carry-
ing a permissible load for the vehicle, and
with correct inflation pressure. For exam-
ple, H indicates a speed rating of 130 mph
(210 km/h).
NOTE
The tire's load index and speed rating may
not appear on the sidewall because they are
not required by law.
M+S or M/S = Mud and Snow, AT = All
Terrain, AS = All Season
U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number
(TIN): This begins with the letters "DOT"
and indicates that the tire meets all federal
standards. The next two numbers or letters
are the plant code where it was manufac-
tured, the next two are the tire size code
and the last four numbers represent the
week and year the tire was built. For exam-
ple, 1510 means that the tire was manu-
factured during week 15 of 2010. The num-
bers in between are marketing codes used
at the manufacturer's discretion. This infor-
mation helps a tire manufacturer identify a
tire for safety recall purposes.
Tire Ply Composition and Material
Used: Indicates the number of plies indi-
cates or the number of layers of rubber-
coated fabric in the tire tread and sidewall.
Tire manufacturers also must indicate the
ply materials in the tire and the sidewall,
which include steel, nylon, polyester, and
others.
Maximum Load: Indicates the maximum
load in pounds and kilograms that can be
carried by the tire. Refer to the vehicle's tire
information placard located on the B-Pillar
or the driver's door for the correct tire pres-
sure for your vehicle.
