Changing wheels - fitting
It is important that the procedure for fitting the wheel is carried out correctly.
Fitting1. Clean the contact surfaces between
wheel and hub.
2. Put on the wheel. Tighten the wheel bolts thoroughly.
3. Lower the car so that the wheels cannot rotate.
4. Tighten the wheel bolts crosswise. It isimportant that the wheel bolts are tight- ened properly. Tighten to 140 Nm. Checkthe torque with a torque wrench.
5. Refit any full wheel covers.
NOTE
• After a tyre has been inflated, always refit the dust cap in order to avoiddamage to the valve from gravel, dirt,etc.
• Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dustcaps can rust and become difficult tounscrew.
NOTE
The wheel cover outlet for the valve must be positioned over the valve on the wheelrim during fitting.
WARNING
Never crawl under the car when it is raised on the jack. Passengers must leave the car when it is raised on the jack. Park the car such that passengers have the car, or ideally a crash barrier, betweenthemselves and the roadway.
NOTE
The car's regular jack is designed only for use occasionally and for a short time, suchas when changing a wheel with a punc-tured tyre, switching between summertyres and winter tyres, etc. Only the jackbelonging to the specific model is to beused to jack up the car. If the car is to bejacked up more often, or for a longer timethan is required just to change a wheel,use of a garage jack is recommended. Inthis instance, follow the instructions foruse that come with the equipment.

Tyres - air pressure
Tyres can have different air pressures which are measured in bar.
Check the air pressure in the tyresThe tyre pressures must be checked everymonth.
• Tyre pressure for the car's recommended tyre dimension
• ECO pressure 2
NOTE
•
Check the tyre pressure when the tyres are cold. "Cold tyres" means thatthe tyres are at the same temperatureas the outdoor temperature. The tyreswill heat up and the tyre pressures willincrease after driving for a few kilome-tres.
• Tyre pressures which are too low willincrease fuel consumption, reduce tyreservice life and impair the car's han-dling. Driving with tyre pressureswhich are too low may lead to thetyres overheating and sustaining dam-age. Tyre pressures affect ride com-fort, road noise and steering.
• Tyre pressure decreases over time,this is a natural phenomenon. Tyrepressure also varies depending onambient temperature.
Tyre pressure label
G021830
The tyre pressure label on the driver's side door pillar (between frame and rear door)shows which pressures the tyres should haveat different loads and speed conditions. Thisis also specified in the tyre pressure table,see Tyres - approved tyre pressures (p. 407).
Fuel economy, ECO pressureIn order to obtain optimum fuel economy atspeeds below 160 km/h an ECO pressure isrecommended (applies to both full and lightload), see Tyres - approved tyre pressures (p.407).

Warning triangle
The warning triangle is used to warn other road users of a stationary vehicle.
Storage and folding up
Lift the floor hatch and take out the warn- ing triangle.
Take the warning triangle from the case, fold out and assemble the two loosesides.
Fold out the warning triangle's support legs.
Follow the regulations for the use of a warn-ing triangle. Position the warning triangle in asuitable place with regard to traffic. Ensure the warning triangle and its case are properly secured in the cargo area after use.
NOTE
If the car has been locked with privacy locking then the boot lid/tailgate and floorhatch cannot be opened, see Privacy lock-ing* (p. 156).
First aid kit*
The first aid box contains first aid equipment.
A case with first aid equipment is located under the floor in the cargo area.
NOTE
If the car has been locked with privacy locking then the boot lid/tailgate and floorhatch cannot be opened, see Privacy lock-ing* (p. 156).

Tyre pressure monitoring*
Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS) (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) 3
warns the
driver when the pressure is too low in one or more of the car's tyres. Tyre pressure monitoring uses sensors located inside the air valve in each wheel.When the car is driven at about 40 km/h thesystem detects the tyre pressure. If the pres- sure is too low then a warning lamp
in the
combined instrument panel illuminates and a message is shown in the information display. Both factory-fitted and optional wheels can be equipped with TPMS sensors in thevalves. If wheels without TPMS sensors are used or if a sensor has failed then
Tyre press. syst
Service required will be shown.
Always check the system after changing a wheel in order to ensure that replacementwheels work with the system. For information on the correct tyre pressure, see Tyres - air pressure (p. 328). The system does not replace normal tyre maintenance.
IMPORTANT
If a fault should arise in the tyre pressure system a warning lamp
in the com-
bined instrument panel will illuminate and a message will be shown. This can be forvarious reasons, e.g. fitting a wheel notequipped with a sensor adapted for Vol-vo's tyre pressure monitoring system.

Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS) (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) 4
warns the
driver when the pressure is too low in one or more of the car's tyres. TPMS can be adjusted in order to follow Vol- vo's tyre pressure recommendations (p. 328),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 MY CAR (p. 103).
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 for tyre pressure.
3. Select
Calibrate tyre pressure.
4. Press OK.
5. Start the car and drive at least at 40 km/h for a total of at least 1 minute and check that the message disappears.
> Then the TPMS is recalibrated to thenew tyre pressure.

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.
Related information
• Tyre pressure monitoring* (p. 330)
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.

Emergency puncture repair
Emergency puncture repair, where the emer- gency puncture repair kit (TMK - TemporaryMobility Kit) is used to seal a puncture andcheck and adjust the tyre pressure (p. 407). The emergency puncture repair kit (p. 334) consists of a compressor and a bottle of seal-ant. The sealing works as a temporary repair.The sealing fluid bottle must be replacedbefore its expiration date and after use. Thesealing fluid effectively seals tyres puncturedin the tread.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only intended for sealing tyres with a puncturein the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited capacity to seal tyres which have puncturesin the wall. Do not seal tyres with the emer-gency puncture repair kit if they have largerslits, cracks or similar damage. Connect thecompressor to one of the car's 12 V sockets.Choose the socket that is nearest to thepunctured tyre.
IMPORTANT
If the compressor for emergency puncture repair is connected to one of the two sock-ets (p. 141) in the tunnel console then noother current consumer may be connectedto the other one.
NOTE
The compressor for temporary emergency puncture repair has been tested andapproved by Volvo.
