Recovering the car For recovery, the car is taken away with the help of another vehicle.
Call a recovery service for recovery assistance. The towing eye can be used to pull the car up onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed platform. Applies to cars with level control
*: If the car is
equipped with air suspension , this must be disa- bled before the car is raised. Deactivating thefunction via the centre display. 1. Press
Settings in the top view.
2. Press
My CarSuspension .
3. Select
Disable Leveling Control.
The car's position and ground clearance deter- mine whether it is possible to pull it up onto aflatbed platform. If the slope of the recovery vehi-cle's ramp is too steep, or if the ground clearanceunder the car is inadequate, then the car may bedamaged if you try to pull it up. The car shouldthen be lifted using the recovery vehicle's liftingdevice.
WARNING
No one/nothing is allowed to remain behind the recovery vehicle while the car pulled uponto the flatbed platform.
IMPORTANT
The towing eye is only designed for towing on roads - not for pulling the car unstuck or out
of a ditch. Call a recovery service for recovery assistance.
IMPORTANT
Note that the car must always be transported with the wheels rolling forward.
NOTE
If the car is equipped with a towing bracket, there is no rear mounting for a towing eye.

WHEELS AND TYRES

TyresAmongst other things, the function of the tyres is to carry load, provide grip on the road surface,dampen vibration and protect the wheel fromwear.
The tyres greatly affect the car's driving characte- ristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre pressureand speed rating are important for how the carperforms.
Recommended tyresOn delivery, the car is equipped with Volvo origi- nal tyres that have the VOL 1
marking on the side
of the tyres. These tyres are carefully adapted to the car. In the event of changing tyres, it is there-fore important that the new tyres also have thismarking in order for the car's driving characteris-tics, comfort and fuel consumption to be main-tained.
New tyres
Tyres are perishable. After a few years they begin to harden at the same time as the frictioncapacity/characteristics gradually deteriorate. Forthis reason, aim to get as fresh tyres as possiblewhen you replace them. This is especially impor-tant with regard to winter tyres. The last four dig-its in the sequence mean the week and year ofmanufacture. This is the tyre's DOT marking(Department of Transportation), and this is statedwith four digits, for example 0715. The tyre in thefigure was manufactured in week 07 of 2015.
Tyre ageAll tyres older than 6 years old should bechecked by an expert even if they seem undam-aged. Tyres age and decompose, even if they arehardly ever or never used. The function cantherefore be affected. This applies to all tyres that are stored for future use. Examples of externalsigns which indicate that the tyre is unsuitable foruse are cracks or discoloration.
Wear and maintenanceCorrect tyre pressure results in more even wear.Driving style, tyre pressure, climate and road con-dition affect how quickly the tyres age and wear. To avoid differences in tread depth and to pre- vent wear patterns forming on the tyres, the frontand rear wheels can be switched with each other.A suitable distance for the first change is approx.5000 km and then at 10000 km intervals. Volvo recommends the an authorised Volvo work- shop is contacted for checking if you are uncer-tain about tread depth. If significant differences inwear (> 1 mm difference in tread depth) betweentyres have already occurred, then the least worntyres must always be fitted on the rear. Under-steer is normally easier to correct than oversteer,and leads to the car continuing forwards in astraight line rather than having the rear end skid-ding to one side, resulting in possible completeloss of control over the car. This is why it isimportant for the rear wheels never to lose gripbefore the front wheels.
WARNING
A damaged tyre may lead to loss of control over the car.

There may be deviations for certain tyre dimensions.

Tyre monitoring
*
The tyre monitoring system, Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (ITPMS), gives awarning with an indicator symbol in the driverdisplay when the pressure in one or more of thecar's tyres is too low.
If the symbol first flashes for approximately one minute and then changes to a constant glow, itmay indicate that the system cannot detect orwarn of low tyre pressure as intended.
Symbol Specification
•The symbol illuminates in the event of low tyre pressure.
• The symbol flashes for approxi-mately one minute and thenchanges over to illuminatingwith a constant glow in theevent of a fault in the ITPMSsystem.
System descriptionITPMS measures differences in rotation speed between the different wheels via the ABS systemin order to be able to determine whether they have the correct tyre pressure. If the tyre pres-sure is too low, the tyre's diameter is changedand, as a result, so is its rotation speed. By com-paring the tyres with each other the system candetermine whether one or more tyres have pres-sure that is too low. When the tyre pressure is too low, the indicatorsymbol for low tyre pressure is illuminated in thedisplay and a message is shown, see also theheading "Message in the driver display" below.

.
Green tyre:
• The tyre pressure is above the limit value for a warning.
Yellow tyre:
• The tyre's pressure is too low. Stop andcheck/rectify the tyre pressure as soon aspossible. Calibrate ITPMS after the tyre pres-sure has been adjusted.
All tyres yellow:
• The pressure is too low in two or more tyres.Stop and check/rectify the tyre pressures assoon as possible. Calibrate ITPMS after thetyre pressures have been adjusted. All tyres grey:
• Calibration in progress.
• Unknown status.
Several minutes driving above 30 km/h (20 mph)may be required for the system to become active. All tyres grey and a message:
•
Tyre pressure system Temporarily
unavailable. The indicator symbol flashes
and changes to constant glow after approx. 1 minute. The system is currently unavailable,activated shortly.
•
Tyre pressure system Service required.
The indicator symbol flashes and changes to constant glow after approx. 1 minute. Thesystem is not working correctly, contact anauthorised Volvo workshop (recommended).

Rectifying low tyre pressure with tyre monitoring *
When the tyre monitoring system, Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (ITPMS), gives awarning, the tyre pressure in one or more of thecar's tyres is too low.
Check and rectify the tyre pressure when the indicator symbol for ITPMS is illuminated and the message
Tyre
pressure low is shown. Calibrate
ITPMS after the tyre pressure has been adjusted.
1. Check the tyre pressure in all four tyres with a tyre pressure gauge.
2. Inflate the tyres to the correct pressure as indicated on the tyre pressure label on the door pillar on the driver's side.
3. Recalibrate the ITPMS system, see the sec-tion "Calibrating tyre monitoring".
4. In some cases, it may be necessary to drive the car for a few minutes at a speed above 30 km/h (20 mph) in order to extinguish theITPMS symbol and clear the message. Note that the ITPMS symbol does not extin- guish until the low tyre pressure has beenrectified and new calibration has been per-formed.
NOTE
To avoid incorrect tyre pressure, the pressure should be checked on cold tyres. "Cold tyres"means the tyres are the same temperature asthe ambient temperature (approx. 3 hoursafter the car has been driven). After a few kil-ometres of driving, the tyres warm up and thepressure increases.
NOTE
• After a tyre has been inflated, always refit the dust cap in order to avoid damage tothe valve from gravel, dirt, etc.
• Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dustcaps can rust and become difficult tounscrew.
WARNING
• Incorrect tyre pressure may lead to tyre failure, which could result in the driverlosing control of the car.
• The system cannot indicate sudden tyredamage in advance.

Emergency puncture repair kitThe emergency puncture repair kit, Temporary Mobility Kit (TMK), is used to seal a puncture aswell as to check and adjust the air pressure.
The puncture repair kit consists of a compressor and a bottle with sealing fluid. The sealing worksas a temporary repair. The sealing fluid effectivelyseals tyres punctured in the tread. The puncture repair kit has limited capacity to seal tyres which have punctures in the wall. Donot use the puncture repair kit on tyres that havelarger slits, cracks or similar damage.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only intended for sealing tyres with a puncture inthe tread.
NOTE
The compressor for temporary emergency puncture repair has been tested andapproved by Volvo.
LocationThe puncture repair kit is located in the foam block under the floor in the cargo area.
Sealing fluid bottleReplace the bottle with sealing fluid before the expiration date has passed and after use. Treatthe old bottle as environmentally hazardouswaste.
WARNING
The bottle contains 1.2-Ethanol and natural rubber-latex.
• Harmful if ingested.
• Could result in allergic reaction in the event of skin contact.
• Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
• Store out of the reach of children.
WARNING
• In the event of skin contact with the seal- ing fluid, it must be washed off immedi-ately with soap and plenty of water.
• Sealing fluid that makes contact with aneye must be rinsed away immediately witheye wash fluid or with plenty of water. Ifthe discomfort persists then the eyeshould be examined by a doctor.
