Tyre pressure monitoring* - recommendations
Tyre pressure monitoring TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) 7
warns the
driver when the pressure is too low in one or more of the car's tyres.
• Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors are fitted to all wheels on the car.
• Volvo recommends that sensors are notmoved between different wheels.
WARNING
When inflating a tyre equipped with TPMS, hold the nozzle of the pump directlyagainst the valve to avoid damaging thevalve.

Tyre pressure monitoring - driveable punctured tyres*
If SST (Self Supporting run flat Tires)* is selected, the car is also equipped with TPMS(p. 330). This type of tyre has a specially reinforced side wall that makes continued driving possi-ble to a limited extent despite the tyre losingall or some of its pressure. These tyres are fit-ted on a special rim. (Normal tyres can alsobe fitted to this rim.) If an SST tyre loses tyre pressure then the yellow TPMS lamp in the combined instru-ment panel illuminates and a message isshown in the information display. If thisoccurs, reduce speed to max. 80 km/h. Thetyre must be replaced as soon as possible. Drive carefully, in some cases it can be diffi- cult to see which tyre is faulty. In order toestablish which tyre needs attention, checkall four tyres.
WARNING
Only people with knowledge of SST tyres should fit them. SST tyres must only be fitted together with TPMS. After an error message about low tyre pressure has been shown, do not drivefaster than 80 km/h. Maximum mileage before tyre replacement is 80 km. Avoid hard driving such as sudden braking or turning. SST tyres must be replaced if they are damaged or punctured.

Engine oil - general
An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service intervals canbe applied.
Volvo recommends:
When driving under adverse conditions, see Engine oil - adverse driving conditions (p.395).
IMPORTANT
In order to fulfil the requirements for the engine's service intervals all engines arefilled with a specially adapted syntheticengine oil at the factory. The choice of oilhas been made very carefully with regardto service life, starting characteristics, fuelconsumption and environmental impact. An approved engine oil must be used in order that the recommended service inter-vals can be applied. Only use a prescribedgrade of oil for both filling and oil change,otherwise you will risk affecting service life,starting characteristics, fuel consumptionand environmental impact. Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all war- ranty liability if engine oil of the prescribedgrade and viscosity is not used. Volvo recommends that oil changes are carried out at an authorised Volvo work-shop.
Volvo uses different systems for warning of low/high oil level or low/high oil pressure.Certain engine variants have an oil pressuresensor, and then the combined instrumentpanel's warning symbol for low oil pressure isused. Other variants have an oil level sensor,when the driver is informed via the instru- ment's warning symbol

WARNING
Never fill above the MAX mark. The level
should never be above MAX or below MIN
as this could lead to engine damage.
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani- fold due to the risk of fire.

You do not need to take action with respect to the engine oil level before a message isshown in the display, see the illustrationbelow.
Message and graph in the display. The left-hand display shows the digital combined instrumentpanel and the right-hand the analogue.
Message
Engine oil level
The oil level is checked using the electronic oil level gauge with the thumbwheel when theengine is switched off, see Menu navigation -combined instrument panel (p. 100).
WARNING
If the message Oil service required is
shown, visit a workshop. The oil level may be too high.
IMPORTANT
If notified of low oil level, only fill with the volume specified, for example, 0.5 litres.
NOTE
The system cannot directly detect changes when the oil is filled or drained. The carmust have been driven approx. 30 km andhave been stationary for 2 hours with theengine switched off and on level groundbefore oil level indication is correct.
WARNING
Do not spill oil onto the hot exhaust mani- fold due to the risk of fire.
Measuring the oil level, 4-cyl. 2.0 lIf the oil level needs to be checked then it should be carried out in accordance with thesequence below.
1. Activate key position II; see Key positions
- functions at different levels (p. 70).
6 Does not apply to the B4204T7 engine - see instead the earlier heading "Engine with oil dipstick".7
Engines with electronic oil level sensor do not have a dipstick.

2. Rotate the thumbwheel on the left-handstalk switch to position Oil level.
> You will then see information displayed about the engine oil level. For more information on menu naviga- tion, see Menu navigation - combinedinstrument panel (p. 100).
NOTE
If the right conditions for measuring the oil level are not met (time after engine shut-down, the car's inclination, outside tem- perature, etc.) then the message
Not
available will be shown. This does not
mean that there is something wrong in the car's systems.

IMPORTANT
In the event of the message Oil level low
Refill 0.5 litre, only fill with 0.5 litres.
NOTE
The oil level is only detected by the system during driving. The system cannot directlydetect changes when the oil is filled ordrained. The car must be drivenabout 30 km before the oil level display iscorrect.
WARNING
Do not fill more oil if filling level (3) or (4) appears as shown in the illustration below.The level must never be above MAX or
below MIN, as this could lead to engine
damage.

Coolant - level
The coolant cools the internal combustion engine to the correct operating temperature.The heat that is transferred from the engine tothe coolant can be used to heat the passen-ger compartment. The coolant level must lie between the
MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion tank.
Checking the level and topping up
When topping up the coolant, follow the instructions on the packaging. It is importantthat the mixture of coolant concentrate andwater is correct for the prevailing weatherconditions. Never top up with water only. Therisk of freezing increases with both too littleand too much coolant concentrate.
