Tire inflation – pressure table
The following tire pressures are recom- mended by Volvo for your vehicle. Refer tothe tire inflation placard (see Tire inflation –general information (p. 297) for its location) for
information specific to the tires installed onyour vehicle at the factory. Some of the tire sizes listed here may not be available for all models in all markets.
Tire sizeCold tire pressure for up to five persons
Front psi (kPa)Rear psi (kPa)
235/60 R18 235/55 R19255/45 R2035 (240)35 (240)
Temporary spare tire T125/80R1761 (420)61 (420)

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 Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – changing wheels
Please keep the following in mind when changing or replacing the factory installedTPMS wheels/tires on the vehicle: •Not all aftermarket wheels are equipped with TPMS sensors in the valves.
• If the vehicle is equipped with a tempo-rary spare tire, this tire does not have aTPMS sensor.
• If wheels without TPMS sensors aremounted on the vehicle, a text messagewill displayed in the instrument paneleach time the vehicle is driven above20 mph (30 km/h) for 10 minutes or more.
• Once TPMS sensors are properly instal-led, the warning message should notreappear. If the message is still displayed,drive the vehicle for several minutes at aspeed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster toerase the message.
• Volvo recommends that TPMS sensorsbe fitted on all wheels used on the vehi-cle, including winter tires. Volvo does notrecommend moving sensors back andforth between sets of wheels.
CAUTION
When inflating tires with TPMS sensors, press the pump's mouthpiece straightonto the valve to help avoid bending orotherwise damaging the valve.
CAUTION
• After inflating the tires, always reinstall the valve cap to help avoid damage tothe valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
• Use plastic valve caps only. Metalcaps could corrode and become diffi-cult to remove.
NOTE
•
If you change to tires with a different dimension than the factory-installedones, the TPMS system must bereconfigured for these tires. This mustbe done by a trained and qualifiedVolvo service technician.
• If a tire is changed, or if the TPMS sen-sor is moved to another wheel, thesensor's seal, nut, and valve coreshould be replaced.
• When installing TPMS sensors, thevehicle must be parked for at least15 minutes with the ignition off. If thevehicle is driven within 15 minutes, aTPMS error message will be displayed.
