4624. In some cases, it may be necessary to drive
the vehicle for several minutes at a speed of at least 20 mph (30 km/h) to erase theTPMS telltale warning and the text message.Please be aware that the TPMS telltalewarning will not go out until the low tire pres-sure has been corrected and calibration hasbeen carried out.
NOTE
To help avoid incorrect tire inflation pressure, if possible only inflate the tires when they arecold. The tires are considered to be coldwhen they have the same temperature as thesurrounding (ambient) air. This temperature isnormally reached after the vehicle has beenparked for at least 3 hours. After driving a dis-tance of approximately 1 mile (1.6 km), thetires are considered to be warm.
CAUTION
When inflating tires, press the pump's mouth- piece straight onto the valve to help avoidbending or otherwise damaging the valve.
CAUTION
• After inflating the tires, always reinstall the valve cap to help avoid damage to thevalve from dirt, gravel, etc.
• Use plastic valve caps only. Metal capscould corrode and become difficult toremove.
WARNING
•Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in a loss of control ofthe vehicle.
• Tire monitoring systems cannot indicatesudden tire damage caused by externalfactors (e.g., a blowout) in advance.

Calibrating the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
In order for the Tire Pressure Monitoring System to work properly, tire pressure reference valuesmust be set correctly. This must be done eachtime wheels are changed or tire pressures aremodified.
Calibrating TPMSTo calibrate the system:
1. Switch off the engine.
2. Re-inflate the tire(s) to the correct pressure. Consult the tire pressure decal located on the driver's side B-pillar (the structural mem-ber at the side of the vehicle, at the rear ofthe driver's door opening) or the inflationpressure table in your printed owner's man-ual supplement.
3. Start the engine. 4. Open the
Car status app in the center dis-
play's App view.
5. Tap Status to access Tire Pressure
Monitoring System.

6. Tap the calibration button. 7.
Tap
OK after the tire pressure in all four tires
has been checked and adjusted.
8. Drive the vehicle. > The calibration process will be completedwhile driving and will be interrupted if the vehicle is parked and the engine isswitched off. Calibration continues auto-matically when driving resumes.
When enough data has been collected to detecta low tire pressure situation, the tires' color in thecenter display will change to green. The systemwill not give any text confirmation when calibra-tion is finished although it will state if calibrationfails. When driving with heavy loads or at sus-tained highway speeds, the tire pressure shouldbe adjusted to the recommended inflation pres-sures. After adjusting inflation pressure, repeat steps 1-8.
NOTE
Always remember to calibrate the Tire Pres- sure Monitoring System when the wheelshave been changed or the tire inflation pres-sure has been corrected according to the tirepressure decal or tire inflation pressure table. If correct reference values have not been set, the system cannot issue low tire pressurealerts correctly. The vehicle must be parked with the engine running to access the calibration button andto start the calibration process.
WARNING
The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very poi-sonous. For this reason, always perform thecalibration procedure outdoors or in a work-shop with exhaust gas evacuation equipment.

Tire sealing system 6
Certain models are equipped with a tire sealing system that enables you to temporarily seal ahole in the tread surface and re-inflate a flat tire,or to adjust a tire

WARNING
Please keep the following points in mind when using the tire sealing system:
• The sealing compound bottle (no. 8 in the illustration) contains 1) rubber latex, natu-ral and 2) ethanediol. These substancesare harmful if swallowed.
• The contents of this bottle may causeallergic skin reactions or otherwise bepotentially harmful to the respiratory tract,the skin, the central nervous system, andthe eyes.
Precautions: • Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not ingest the contents.
• Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin.
• Wash thoroughly after handling.
First aid: • Skin: Wash affected areas of skin with soap and water. Get medical attention ifsymptoms occur.
• Eyes: Flush with plenty of water for least15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upperand lower eyelids. Get medical attention ifsymptoms occur.
• Inhalation: Move the exposed person tofresh air. If irritation persists, get medicalattention.
•
Ingestion: Do
NOT induce vomiting
unless directed to do so by medical per- sonnel. Get medical attention.
• Disposal: Dispose of this material and itscontainer to a hazardous or special wastecollection point.

1. Activate the vehicle's hazard warning flashersif the tire sealing system is to be used in an area with traffic. If the flat tire was caused by a nail, etc., do not remove it from the tire. It will help to sealthe hole.
2. Peel off the speed limit sticker and affix it to the windshield so that it is clearly visible tothe driver. The vehicle should not be drivenfaster than 50 mph (80 km/h) while using atire that has been temporarily repaired withthe tire sealing system.
3. Ensure that the on/off switch is in position 0
and take out the electrical wire and hose.
NOTE
Do not break the seal on the bottle. This occurs automatically when the bottle isscrewed into the holder.
WARNING
Contact with the sealing compound may cause skin irritation. If contact occurs, washthe affected area immediately with soap andwater.
4. Unscrew the orange cover over the bottle holder on the compressor and unscrew the cap on the bottle of sealing compound.
5. Screw the bottle into the bottle holder as far as possible.
WARNING
The bottle is equipped with a catch to keep it securely in place and help prevent sealingcompound leakage. Once in place, the bottlecannot be unscrewed. This must be done by atrained and qualified Volvo service technician. 6. Be sure the air release valve on the com-
pressor's hose is completely closed. Remove the valve cap from the tire

ice technician to have the bottle removed and properly disposed of.
WARNING
If heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behavior, or noises should occur while driving, reducespeed and park the vehicle in a safe place.Recheck the tire for bumps, cracks, or othervisible damage, and recheck its inflation pres-sure. If the pressure is below 19 psi (1.3 bar),do not continue driving. Have the vehicletowed to a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
15. Rechecking the pressure Reconnect the tire sealing system's hose to the tire's inflation valve. 16. Without starting the compressor, check the
inflation pressure on the air pressure gauge. •If the pressure is under 19 psi (1.3 bar), the puncture has not been sealed suffi-ciently and the vehicle should not bedriven. Have the vehicle towed to a trainedand qualified Volvo service technician.
• If the pressure is more than 19 psi(1.3 bar), connect the electrical wire to a12-volt socket, start the compressor andinflate the tire to the correct pressure(see the tire pressure decal on the on thedriver's side B-pillar (the structural mem-ber at the side of the vehicle, at the rearof the driver's door opening). Use the airrelease valve to release some air from thetire if necessary.
17. Switch off the compressor and disconnect the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket.Unscrew the hose from the tire

WARNING
•After using the tire sealing system, the vehicle should not be driven farther thanapproximately 120 miles (200 km).
• Have the tire inspected by a trained andqualified Volvo service technician as soonas possible to determine if it can be per-manently repaired or must be replaced.
• The vehicle should not be driven fasterthan 50 mph (80 km/h) while using a tirethat has been temporarily repaired withthe tire sealing system.
• After using the tire sealing system, drivecarefully and avoid abrupt steeringmaneuvers and sudden stops.

switch to position 0) when the correct infla-
tion pressure has been reached.
CAUTION
• After inflating the tires, always reinstall the valve cap to help avoid damage to thevalve from dirt, gravel, etc.
• Use plastic valve caps only. Metal capscould corrode and become difficult toremove.

NOTE
The jack provided with your vehicle is intended to be used only in temporary situa-tions such as changing wheels in the event ofa flat tire. Only the jack that came with yourparticular model should be used to lift thevehicle. If the vehicle needs to be lifted morefrequently or for a prolonged period, using agarage jack or hoist is recommended. Alwaysfollow this device
