Snow tires/studded tires5
Owners who live in or regularly commute through areas with sustained periods of snowor icy driving conditions are strongly advisedto fit suitable winter tires to help retain thehighest degree of traction.
Tires for winter use:
•
It is important to install winter tires on all four wheels to help retain traction duringcornering, braking, and accelerating. Fail-ure to do so could reduce traction to anunsafe level or adversely affect handling.
• Do not mix tires of different design as thiscould also negatively affect overall tireroad grip.
• Winter tires wear more quickly on dryroads in warm weather. They should beremoved when the winter driving seasonhas ended.
• Studded tires should be run-in 300 – 600 miles (500 – 1000 km) during whichthe vehicle should be driven as smoothlyas possible to give the studs the opportu-nity to seat properly in the tires. The tiresshould have the same rotational directionthroughout their entire lifetime.
NOTE
Please consult state or provincial regula- tions restricting the use of studded wintertires before installing such tires.
Tire pressure monitoring - introduction
Volvo provides two different systems to moni- tor tire pressure: Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS) or Tire Monitor.
Determining which tire monitoring system is in your vehicle
To see which system is installed in your vehi- cle, press the
MY CAR button on the center
console. Go to
SettingsCar settings.
• If your vehicle has a menu called
Tire
monitoring, see Tire Monitor - introduc-
tion (p. 311).
• If your vehicle has a menu called
Tire
pressure, see Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) – general information (p. 307).
IntroductionEach tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold andinflated to the inflation pressure recom-mended by the vehicle manufacturer on thevehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.(If your vehicle has tires of a different sizethan the size indicated on the vehicle placardor tire inflation pressure label, you shoulddetermine the proper tire inflation pressure forthose tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle hasbeen equipped with a tire pressure monitor-ing system that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (
) when one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates,you should stop and check your tires as soonas possible, and inflate them to the properpressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead totire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuelefficiency and tire tread life, and may affectthe vehicle's handling and stopping ability.Please note that a tire pressure monitoringsystem is not a substitute for proper tiremaintenance, and it is the driver's responsi-bility to maintain correct tire pressure, even ifunder-inflation has not reached the level totrigger illumination of the system's low tirepressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate whenthe system is not operating properly. Themonitoring system's malfunction indicator iscombined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minuteand then remain continuously illuminated.This sequence will continue upon subsequentvehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction

Tire Monitor - introduction
Tire Monitor uses the rotational speed of the tires in combination with signal analysis of theABS sensor signals to determine if they areproperly inflated. When a tire is under-inflated, its diameter (and consequently also its rotational speed)changes. By comparing the individual tireswith each other it is possible to determine ifone or more tires are under inflated. When low inflation pressure is detected or if the system is not functioning properly, TireMonitor will light up the tire pressure warning light (
) (also referred to as a telltale) in
the instrument panel and will display one of the following messages in the text window, for example:
Tire pressure low Check rear
right tire6 or Tire press. syst Service
required.
If two or more tires have low pressure or if the system cannot determine which tire has low pressure, a general text (
Tire pressure low
Check tires) will be displayed.
NOTE
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the tire pressure warning light will flash forapproximately 1 minute and then remain illuminated.
Tire press. syst Service
required will be displayed.
NOTE
The system indicates low tire pressure but does not replace normal tire maintenance.For information on correct tire pressure,please refer to the tire inflation pressuretable (see Tire inflation – pressure table(p. 301)), the tire inflation pressure placardlocated on the driver's side B-pillar (thestructural member at the side of the vehi-cle, at the rear of the driver's door open-ing) or consult your Volvo retailer.

Calibrating Tire Monitor
In order for Tire Monitor to work correctly, tire pressure reference values must be set. Thismust be done each time wheels or tire pres-sures are changed.
Calibration1. Switch off the engine.
2. Inflate the tires to the desired pressure
(consult tire pressure placard located on the driver's side B-pillar (the structuralmember at the side of the vehicle) andput the ignition in mode II, see Ignition
modes (p. 79).
3. Press the MY CAR button on the center
console control panel and select
Settings
Car settingsTire monitoring.
4. Press OK/MENU , select
Calibrate tire
pressure and press OK/MENU again.
5. Drive away. > The calibration process will be comple-ted while driving and will be interrupted if the vehicle is parked and the engineis switched off. Calibration continuesautomatically when driving resumes.The system will not give any confirma-tion when calibration is finishedalthough it will state if calibration fails.
6That last part of this message varies, depending on the tire(s) effected.

The new reference values will be used until steps 1-5 stated above are repeated.
NOTE
Always remember to calibrate Tire Monitor when the wheels have been changed orthe tire pressure has been correctedaccording to tire pressure placard or tirepressure table. If correct reference valueshave not been set, the system cannotissue low tire pressure alerts correctly.
Tire Monitor status information
The current status of the system and the tires is indicated by color-coded graphics. This status can be displayed by pressing the MY CAR button on the center console and
going to
SettingsCar settingsTire
monitoring.
The following color-coded graphics indicate:
• All green
: the system is operational and
all tire pressures are at or above the rec- ommended levels.
• One yellow wheel
: the tire indicated is
under-inflated.
• All wheels yellow
: two or more tires are
under-inflated
• All wheels gray
: the system is currently
unavailable. It might be necessary todrive at a speed of at least 20 mph(30 km/h) for several minutes for the sys-tem to become operational.
• All wheels gray in combination with the message
