the road's incline is very steep.
• the hood is opened.
• the transmission has not reached its normal operating temperature.
• driving at high altitude and the engine hasnot reached its normal operating tempera-ture.
• the gear selector is in the manual shiftingposition.
• the ABS brakes have activated.
• hard braking (even if the ABS brakes havenot activated).
• many starts during a short time period havetriggered the starter motor's overheating pro-tection.
• a trailer's electrical system is connected tothe vehicle's electrical system.
The engine does not auto-startIn certain situations or conditions, the engine may not auto-start
after an auto-stop, such as:
• if the driver is not wearing a seat belt
• the gear selector is in the
P position and the
driver's door is open. The engine must be started normally.
The engine auto-starts while the brake
pedal is depressed
In the following situations, the engine will auto-
start even though the brake pedal is depressed: •
condensation forms on the inside of the win-dows.
• the climate system cannot keep the desiredsettings in the passenger compartment.
• electrical current consumption is temporarilyhigh or the main battery's charge is belowthe minimum level.
• the brake pedal is pumped repeatedly.
• the hood is opened.
• the vehicle begins to move or increasesspeed slightly (if the engine auto-stoppedbefore the vehicle was at a standstill).
• the driver's seat belt is unbuckled while the gear selector is in the
D or N positions.
• the gear selector is moved from
D to R or ±.
• the driver's door is opened with the gearselector in

Optimal sound reproduction settingsThe audio system is precalibrated for optimalsound reproduction using digital signal process-ing. This calibration takes into account the speak-ers, amplifier, cabin acoustics, listener position,etc., for each combination of vehicle and infotain-ment system. Dynamic calibration is also available, which moni- tors the setting of the volume control, radioreception and the vehicle's speed.

Playing media through the AUX/USB sockets
An external media device, such as an iPod or an mp-3 player can be connected to the infotain-ment system.
A device with rechargeable batteries can be recharged when it is connected to the USBsocket (if the ignition is on or the engine is run-ning). To simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is advisable to only store files with compatible fileformats on it. It will take considerably longer forthe system to index the files on the drive if it con-tains anything other than compatible files. In addition to audio, the vehicle's media player also supports video playback when the externaldevice is connected to the USB socket. Certain mp-3 players have proprietary file formats that are not supported by the infotainment sys-tem.

The types of roads that you have chosen to avoid will not be used if there are viable alternatives.
After being transported, the vehicle's location on the map is not correct
If the vehicle has been transported (e.g., on a ferry or train) where GPS signals have beenblocked, it may take up to 5 minutes before itslocation will be shown correctly.
The car symbol moves erratically after
new tires have been installed
In addition to GPS signals, the navigation systemalso uses the speedometer and a gyroscopicsensor to calculate the vehicle's current locationand speed. If e.g., a spare tire or snow tires havebeen installed, the system has to "learn" the newtire dimensions. To do so, drive for a short periodon a road with unobstructed GPS reception.
The map does not correspond to actual road conditions
Due to road changes/additions/rerouting/newtraffic regulations, the map database may not beup-to-date. The database is continuously beingupdated. Consult your Volvo retailer.
The car symbol jumps forward or spinsBefore you begin to drive, the system may needseveral seconds to determine the vehicle's loca-tion. Switch off the navigation system and the ignition.Restart but remain at a standstill for a minute orso before driving.
The map information is not up-to-dateSee the next heading.
How can I check which map version I
have?
1. From the center display's Home view, swipe from right to left to display App view.
2. Select the
Remote update service app.
This contains information about the current map version. See also "Updating map data with Map-Care" for additional information or contact yourVolvo retailer.

start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the sys-tem may not be able to detect or signal low tirepressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacementor alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle thatprevent the TPMS from functioning properly.Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale afterreplacing one or more tires or wheels on yourvehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter-nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to con-tinue to function properly.
Messages in the instrument panelWhen the TPMS symbol illuminates, the following text messages may also be displayed:
•
Tire pressure low: the tire(s) affected will
also be specified.
•
Tire needs air now: the tire(s) affected will
also be specified.
•
Tire pressure system Service required.
If TPMS cannot determine which tire(s) have low inflation pressure, general messages may be dis-played, such as:
•
Tire pressure low Check tires
•Tire needs air now Check tires
TPMS sensors can be installed on the valve hole area, on the factory-installed wheels as well as onoptional ones. If a spare wheel or other wheel without a TPMS sensor is used, a fault message will appear in theinstrument panel after driving for a few minutes. After changing wheels, always check that the new wheels have TPMS sensors to avoid a sys-tem malfunction warning. TPMS does not replace the need for regular tire inspection and maintenance.
RecommendationsTPMS sensors should be mounted on all wheelsused with the vehicle, including winter wheels.
NOTE
• If you change to tires with a different dimension than the factory-installed ones,the TPMS system must be reconfiguredfor these tires. This must be done by atrained and qualified Volvo service techni-cian.
• If a tire is changed, or if the TPMS sensoris moved to another wheel, the rubbervalve and valve core should be replaced.
• When installing TPMS sensors, the vehi-cle must be parked for at least15 minutes with the ignition off. If thevehicle is driven within 15 minutes, aTPMS error message will be displayed.
WARNING
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in a loss of control of thevehicle.
