Jump starting
If the battery is flat then the car can be started
with current from another battery.
When jump starting the car, the following steps
are recommended to avoid short circuits or
other damage:
1. Insert the remote control key in key posi-
tion 0, see page 78.
2. Check that the donor battery has a voltage
of 12 V.
3. If the donor battery is installed in another
car - switch off the donor car's engine and
make sure that the two cars do not touch
each other.4. Connect one of the red jump lead's clamps
to the donor battery's positive terminal (1).
IMPORTANT
Connect the start cable carefully to avoid
short circuits with other components in the
engine compartment.
5. Open the clips on the front cover of the
battery in your car and remove the cover,
see page 345.
6. Connect the red jump lead's other clamp
onto the car's positive terminal (2).
7. Connect one of the black jump lead's
clamps to the donor battery's negative ter-
minal (3).
8. Connect the other clamp to a grounding
point, e.g. right-hand engine mounting at
the top, the outer screw head (4).
9. Check that the jump lead clamps are
affixed securely so that there are no sparks
during the starting procedure.
10. Start the engine of the "donor car" and
allow it to run a few minutes at a speed
slightly higher than idle approx. 1500 rpm.
11. Start the engine in the car with the dis-
charged battery.
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the crocodile clips during the
start procedure. There is a risk of sparks
forming.
12. Remove the jump leads in reverse order -
first the black and then the red.
> Make sure that none of the black jump
lead's clamps comes into contact with
the battery's positive terminal or the
clamp connected to the red jump lead!
WARNING
•The battery can generate oxyhydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark
can be formed if a jump lead is con-
nected incorrectly, and this can be
enough for the battery to explode.
•The battery contains sulphuric acid,
which can cause serious burns.
•If sulphuric acid comes into contact
with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with
large quantities of water. If acid
splashes into the eyes - seek medical
attention immediately.
For more information on the car's battery - see
page 344.

124
Geartronic does not permit downshifting/kick-
down which would result in an engine speed
high enough to damage the engine. Nothing
happens if the driver still tries to shift down in
this way at high engine speed – the original
gear remains engaged.
When kick-down is activated the car can
change one or more gears at a time depending
on engine speed. The car changes up when the
engine reaches its maximum speed in order to
prevent damage to the engine.
Mechanical gear selector inhibitor
G021351
The gear selector can be moved forward and
back freely between N and D. Other positions
are locked with a latch that is released with the
inhibitor button on the gear selector.With the inhibitor button depressed the lever
can be moved forwards or backwards between
P, R, N and D.
Automatic gear selector inhibitorThe automatic gearbox has special safety sys-
tems:
Parking position (P)Stationary car with engine running:
Keep your foot on the brake pedal when mov-
ing the gear selector to another position.
Electric gear inhibitor – Shiftlock Parking
position (P)
To be able to move the gear selector from P to
other gear positions, the brake pedal must be
depressed and the remote control key must be
in position II, see page 78.
Shiftlock – Neutral (N)If the gear selector is in N position and the car
has been stationary for at least 3 seconds (irre-
spective of whether the engine is running) then
the gear selector is locked.
To be able to move the gear selector from N to
other gear positions, the brake pedal must be
depressed and the remote control key must be
in position II, see page 78.
Deactivate automatic gear selector
inhibitor
If the car cannot be driven, e.g. due to a flat
battery, the gear selector must be moved from
the P position so that the car can be moved.
Lift the rubber mat in the compartment
behind the centre console and open the
hatch.
Fully insert the key blade. Press the key
blade down and hold (For information on
the key blade, see page 48.)
Move the gear selector from the P position.

Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS)*
08
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.319 General
TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)*
warns the driver when the pressure is too low
in one or more of the car's tyres. It uses sensors
located inside the air valve in each wheel.
When the car is driven at about 40 km/h the
system detects the tyre pressure. If the pres-
sure is too low then a warning lamp
on the
instrument panel illuminates and a message is
shown on the display.
Only factory fitted wheels are equipped with
TPMS sensors in the valves.
If wheels without TPMS sensors are used then
Tyre press. syst Service required will be
shown every time the car is driven faster than
40 km/h for more than 10 minutes.
Always check the system after changing a
wheel in order to ensure that replacement
wheels work with the system.
For information on correct tyre pressures, see
page 388.
The system does not replace normal tyre main-
tenance.
IMPORTANT
If a fault should arise in the tyre pressure
system a warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel will illuminate and a message
will be shown. This can be for various rea-
sons, e.g. fitting a wheel not equipped with
a sensor adapted for Volvo's tyre pressure
monitoring system.
Adjusting tyre pressure monitoringTyre pressure monitoring can be adjusted in
order to follow Volvo's tyre pressure recom-
mendations, when driving with a heavy load for
example.
NOTE
The engine must not be running when the
tyres are calibrated.
The settings are made with the control in the
centre console, see page 203.
1. Inflate the tyres to the required pressure
and select key position I or II.
2.
Select the menu system MY CAR to open
the menus to Settings

for a total of at least 1 minute and check
that the message disappears.
> Calibration is complete.
Rectifying low tyre pressureIf a message for low tyre pressure is shown in
the display:
1. Check the tyre pressure in all four tyres.
2. Inflate the tyre(s) to the correct pressure.
3. Drive at least at 40 km/h for a total of at
least 1 minute and check that the message
disappears.

Recommendations
•Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors are
fitted to all wheels on the car.
•Volvo recommends that sensors are not
moved between different wheels.
WARNING
When inflating a tyre equipped with TPMS,
hold the nozzle of the pump directly against
the valve to avoid damaging the valve.
Driveable punctured tyres*
If Self Supporting run flat Tyres (SST)* have
been selected then the car is also equipped
with TPMS.
This type of tyre has a specially reinforced side
wall that makes continued driving possible to
a limited extent despite the tyre losing all or
some of its pressure. These tyres are fitted on
a special rim. (Normal tyres can also be fitted
to this rim).
If an SST tyre loses tyre pressure then the yel-
low TPMS lamp on the instrument panel illumi-
nates and a message is shown in the text
panel. If this occurs, reduce speed tomax. 80 km/h. The tyre must be replaced as
soon as possible.
Drive carefully, in some cases it can be difficult
to see which tyre is faulty. In order to establish
which tyre needs attention, check all four tyres.
WARNING
SST tyres should only be fitted by individu-
als with expertise on SST tyres.
SST tyres must only be fitted together with
TPMS.
After a fault message on low tyre pressure
has been shown, do not drive faster than
80 km/h.
Maximum driving distance to tyre change is
80 km.
Avoid hard driving such as sudden braking
or turning.
SST tyres must be replaced if they are dam-
aged or punctured.

NOTE
If the compressor is connected to one of the
two 12 V sockets, in the tunnel console, no
other current consumer must be connected
to the other one.
WARNING
Do not leave children in the car without
supervision when the engine is running.
8.
Flick the switch to position I.
WARNING
Never stand next to the tyre when the com-
pressor is running. If cracks or unevenness
arise then the compressor must be
switched off immediately. The journey
should not be continued. Contacting an
authorised tyre centre is recommended.
NOTE
When the compressor starts, the pressure
can increase up to 6 bar but the pressure
drops after approximately 30 seconds.
9. Inflate the tyre for 7 minutes.
IMPORTANT
Risk of overheating. The compressor must
not run for more than 10 minutes.
10. Switch off the compressor to check the
pressure on the pressure gauge. Minimum
pressure is 1.8 bar and maximum 3.5 bar.
(Release air with the pressure reducing
valve if the tyre pressure is too high.)
WARNING
If the pressure is below 1.8 bar then the hole
in the tyre is too big. The journey should not
be continued. Contacting an authorised tyre
centre is recommended.
11. Switch off the compressor and unplug the
cable from the 12 V socket.
12. Detach the hose from the tyre valve and fit
the valve cap.
13. As soon as possible, drive approximately
3 km at a maximum speed of 80 km/h so
that the sealing fluid can seal the tyre.
Rechecking the repair and pressure1. Reconnect the equipment.2. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure
gauge.
•If it is below 1.3 bar then the tyre is
insufficiently sealed. The journey should
not be continued. Contact a tyre centre.
•If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3
bar, the tyre must be inflated to the pres-
sure specified in accordance with the
tyre pressure table, see page 388 (1
bar=100 kPa). Release air using the
pressure reducing valve if the tyre pres-
sure is too high.
WARNING
Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped
with a reverse catch to prevent leakage.
3. Make sure the compressor is switched off.
Detach the air hose and cable. Refit the
dust cap.
