Introduction
Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the vehicle's tire information placard on theB-pillar (the structural member at the side ofthe vehicle, at the rear of the driver's dooropening).
CAUTION
Some Volvo models are equipped with an Ultra High Performance tire and wheelcombination designed to provide maxi-mum dry pavement performance with con-sideration for hydroplaning resistance.They may be more susceptible to roadhazard damage and, depending on drivingconditions, may achieve a tread life of lessthan 20,000 miles (30,000 km). Even if thisvehicle is equipped with Volvo’s advancedAWD or DSTC system, these tires are notdesigned for winter driving, and should bereplaced with winter tires when weatherconditions dictate.
The tires have good road holding characteris- tics and offer good handling on dry and wetsurfaces. It should be noted however that thetires have been developed to give these fea-tures on snow/ice-free surfaces. Most models are equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a somewhat higherdegree of road holding on slippery surfacesthan tires without the "all-season" rating.However, for optimum road holding on icy orsnow-covered roads, we recommend suitablewinter tires on all four wheels. When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires are the same size designation, type(radial) and preferably from the same manu-facturer, on all four wheels. Otherwise there isa risk of altering the car's roadholding andhandling characteristics.
New Tires
Remember that tires are perishable goods. Asof 2000, the manufacturing week and year(Department of Transportation (DOT) stamp)will be indicated with 4 digits (e.g., 1513means that the tire illustrated was manufac-tured during week 15 of 2013).
Tire rotationYour vehicle has no required tire rotation. Tire wear is affected by a number of factors suchas tire inflation, ambient temperature, drivingstyle, etc.
NOTE
•
If the tires are rotated, they should only be moved from front to rear orvice versa. They should never be rota-ted left to right/right to left.
• Ideally, tire rotation should be done thefirst time after approximately 3,000miles (5,000 km) and thereafter at6,000-mile (10,000-km) intervals.Some customers find that tire rotationmay help to get extra mileage from tirelife.
• Tire rotation should only be performedif front/rear tire wear is fairly even andtread height is above 1/16" (1.6 mm).
Your Volvo retailer can also provide guidance based on your particular driving circumstan-ces.
Tire ageTires degrade over time, even when they arenot being used. It is recommended that tiresgenerally be replaced after 6 years of normalservice. Heat caused by hot climates, fre-

properly. Always check the TPMS malfunc- tion telltale after replacing one or more tiresor wheels on your vehicle to ensure that thereplacement or alternate tires and wheelsallow the TPMS to continue to function prop-erly.
NOTE
TPMS indicates low tire pressure but does not replace normal tire maintenance. Forinformation on correct tire pressure, pleaserefer to the tire inflation pressure table inthis chapter or consult your Volvo retailer.
Erasing warning messagesWhen a low tire pressure warning message has been displayed, and the tire pressurewarning light has come on:
1. Use a tire pressure gauge to check theinflation pressure of all four tires.
2. Re-inflate the tire(s) to the correct pres- sure (consult the tire pressure placard or the table see page 183).
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 thewarning light will go out.
WARNING
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in a loss of control ofthe 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 thevalves.
• If the vehicle is equipped with a tempo-rary spare tire, this tire does not have aTPMS sensor.
• If wheels without TPMS sensors are mounted on the vehicle,
TIRE PRESS
SYST. SERVICE REQUIRED will be dis-
played each time the vehicle is driven above 25 mph (40 km/h) for 10 minutes ormore.
• Once TPMS sensors are properly instal-led, the warning message should notreappear.
• Volvo recommends that TPMS sensorsbe fitted on all wheels used on the vehi-cle. Volvo does not recommend movingsensors back and forth between sets ofwheels.
NOTE
If a tire is changed or if the TPMS sensor is moved to another wheel, the sensor’svalve and valve core should be replaced.
CAUTION
When inflating tires with TPMS valves, press the pump's mouthpiece straightonto the valve to help avoid bending orotherwise 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 183), for exam-ple, if higher inflation pressure is necessarywhen 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 145 for additional information).
3. Turn the thumb wheel on the left-side steering wheel lever until

Listening to satellite radio
The SiriusXM ™ satellite system consists of a
number of high elevation satellites in geosyn- chronous orbit.
NOTE
• The digital signals from the SiriusXM
™
satellites are line-of-sight, which means that physical obstructions suchas bridges, tunnels, etc, may tempo-rarily interfere with signal reception.
• Avoid any obstructions, such as metal-lic objects transported on roof racks orin a ski box, or other antennas thatmay impede signals from the Sir-iusXM
™ satellites.
Selecting SiriusXM™ radio mode
1. Press Power to switch on the audio sys-
tem (see page 252 for information on the standard radio functions).
2. Turn the SELECTOR dial until Sirius 1 or
2 is displayed.
Activating SiriusXM ™ radio
1. Tune to a satellite channel that has no
audio, which means that the channel is unsubscribed and the text "
Call
888-539-SIRIUS TO SUBSCRIBE" is displayed (see also "Selecting a channel" in the right column).
2. Call SiriusXM ™ at 1-888-539-SIRIUS
(7474).
3. When asked for the SiriusXM ™ ID num-
ber press AUTO to display this number. It
is also possible to retrieve the SiriusXM ™
ID from the MENU.
4. "
UPDATING SUBSCRIPTION" will be
displayed while the subscription is being updated, after which the display willreturn to the normal view.
SiriusXM™ ID
The SiriusXM ™ ID is required when contact-
ing the SiriusXM ™ Call Center. It is used to
activate your account and when making any account transactions. The SiriusXM ™ ID is
sometimes referred to as the Electronic SerialNumber (ESN). This function displays the 12-digit Sir- iusXM ™ID.
Selecting a channel category1. Select SiriusXM ™ radio mode as descri-
bed above.
2. Press ENTER. 3. Use the up/down arrow keys to scroll
through the list of categories.
4. Press ENTER to select a category.
5. Use the
and buttons to select
a channel in the currently chosen cate- gory.
NOTE
The category "All" is default, which ena- bles you to scroll through the entire list ofavailable satellite channels. The channel categories are automatically updated several times a year. This takesapproximately two minutes and will inter-rupt normal broadcasting. A message willbe displayed while updating is in progress.Information on channel or feature updatesis available at www.sirius.com.
Selecting a channelThere are two ways of tuning in a channel:
• By pressing and holding the
and
buttons to start the scroll function.
The scrolling function begins slowly and increases speed after approximately5 seconds. Release the button to listen tothe currently displayed channel.
• Through direct channel entry
