BLIND-SPOT
SYST FUNCTION
REDUCEDThe BLIS cameras'
function has been
reduced due to
weak or impaired
data transfer
between the BLIS
system's cameras
and the vehicle's
electrical system.
The cameras will
reset themselves
when this data
transfer has
returned to normal.
The messages listed above can only be dis-
played if the ignition key is in position II (or if
the engine is running) and if BLIS is active (i.e.
if the system has not been turned off by press-
ing the BLIS button).

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

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 tire inflation pressure table in this
chapter 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:
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
table see page 177).
3. 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.
Recalibrating TPMS (Canadian models
only)
In certain cases, it may be necessary to reca-
librate TPMS to conform to Volvo's recom-
mended tire inflation pressures (see the infla-
tion pressure table on page 177), for example,
if higher inflation pressure is necessary when
transporting heavy loads, etc.
To recalibrate:
1. Switch off the engine.
2. Inflate the tires to the desired pressure and
turn the ignition key to position I or II (see
page 141 for additional information).
3. Turn the thumb wheel on the left-side
steering wheel lever until
Tire pressure
Calibration appears in the display.
4.
Press and hold the Reset button on the
left-side steering wheel lever until
TIRE
PRESSURE CALIBRATED is displayed.

The door panels behind the second row of
seats can be equipped with headphone con-
nectors for passengers in the second and third
row of seats. Several people can listen to dif-
ferent sound sources, such as CDs or the radio
at the same time without disturbing each other.
Two sets of headphones can be plugged into
each connector.1. With the audio system switched on, use
the SEL button to select a sound source.
2. Press the arrow keys briefly to change CD
tracks or switch between preset stations.
3. Hold down the arrow keys to fast forward/
reverse, or search for the previous/next
strong radio station.
4.
Hold down the SEL button to turn off the
sound.
NOTE
For the best sound reproduction, we rec-
ommend headphones with impedance
between 16 – 32 ohm. The sensitivity of
these should be equal to or greater than
102 dB. The headphone connections are
intended for 3.5 mm contacts and are
located under the lower edge of the socket.
All headphones are automatically turned off
when the ignition is switched off. They must be
manually restarted when the ignition is
switched on again.
Headphones – limitations
•The headphones will only work when the
ignition key is in position I or higher.
•If a set of headphones is connected to the
same source that is being sent through the
speakers, the headphone controls cannot
be used to change track or station. This isto prevent the driver from being distracted
by an unexpected change in music.
•If the driver selects the same sound source
as someone listening to this source
through headphones, the driver takes con-
trol of the sound source.
•Only one disc in the optional CD changer,
and one track on the CD can be played at
a time.
•Headphone users can choose from among
the preset radio stations (AM, FM1, FM2)
previously set by the driver.
•If FM is played in the speakers, AM is not
available and vice versa.

Switching HD on or offThe factory setting for HD radio is on. However,
when driving through areas with weak HD sig-
nals (fringe areas), you may experience that the
radio repeatedly switches between analogue/
digital and digital/analogue reception. If this
happens, it may be desirable to switch HD off.
To do so:
1. Be sure the audio system is switched on
and in AM or FM mode.
2.
Press MENU in the center console control
panel.
3.
Press ENTER to turn HD off (the X will dis-
appear from the box on the display screen).
This will disable the radio's capability to receive
digital broadcasts but it will continue to func-
tion as a conventional (analogue) AM/FM
receiver. Please note that when HD is switched
off, it will not be possible to tune to sub-chan-
nels (see the following section for a more
detailed explanation of sub-channels).
Repeat steps 2 and 3 above to reactivate HD
(an X will appear in the box on the display
screen).Sub-channels
Example of an HD Radio station with sub-channels
In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM
wavebands only) will also have sub-channels
offering additional types of programming or
music.
In such cases, a number will be displayed to
the right of the frequency number indicating
that the currently tuned frequency has at least
one sub-channel. The "2" in the illustration indi-
cates that you are currently listening to the first
sub-channel on frequency 93.9.
Selecting sub-channelsTo listen to a station's sub-channel(s), press
the right arrow key on the center console or on
the steering wheel keypad. To go back to themain channel, press the left arrow key. To go
to subchannel 2 (if available), press the right
arrow key.
If you are currently tuned to a frequency's main
channel, pressing the left arrow key will tune to
the next lower radio frequency.
NOTE
•When the radio has gone into HD mode,
it may take several seconds before the
">" symbol (if the current frequency has
any sub-channels) is displayed to the
right of the frequency. Pressing the
arrow keys before the number is dis-
played will cause the radio to tune to the
next available radio station, not to the
current station's sub-channels.
•When you are no longer in broadcasting
range of the currently tuned sub-chan-
nel,
No HD reception will be dis-
played. The radio will then be muted
and it will be necessary to tune to or
search for a new radio station.
Sub-channels can also be stored as presets,
see page 252 for information on storing sta-
tions.
If you press a sub-channel's preset button, it
may take up to 6 seconds before the channel
becomes audible. If you press this button while
