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.

Tread wear indicators on the tyres Tread wear indicators show the status of the tyre's tread depth.
A tread wear indicator is a narrow elevation across the longitudinal grooves of the tyre's treadpattern. On the side of the tyre are the lettersTWI (Tread Wear Indicator). When the tyre's treaddepth is down to 1.6 mm, the tread will be level inheight with the tread wear indicators. Change tonew tyres as soon as possible. Remember thattyres with little tread depth provide very poor gripin rain and snow.

Checking the tyre pressures Tyres with the correct air pressure increase driv- ing safety, save fuel and extend the service life ofthe tyres.
Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a natu- ral phenomenon. Tyre pressure also variesdepending on ambient temperature. Inadequatetyre pressure increases fuel consumption, short-ens tyre lifespan and impairs the car's drivingcharacteristics. Driving on tyres with tyre pressurethat is too low could result in the tyres overheat-ing and being damaged. Tyre pressure affectstravelling comfort, road noise and driving charac-teristics.
Recommended tyre pressure
The tyre pressure label on the driver's side door pillar (between frame and rear door) shows which pressures the tyres should have at different loadsand speed conditions.
Improved fuel economy with ECO pressure
For a light load (max. 3 people) and a speed of up to 160 km/h (100 mph), the ECO pressurescan be chosen for optimum fuel economy. How-ever, the lower comfort pressures are recom-mended instead if optimum noise and travellingcomfort are desired.
Checking the air pressure1. Check the tyre pressures monthly. Carry out
the check on cold tyres, which means thatthe tyres should have the same temperatureas the outside temperature. After several fewkilometres of driving, the tyres warm up andthe pressure increases.
2. If necessary, inflate so that the air pressure corresponds with the approved tyre pressurein accordance with the tyre pressure label.
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.

Calibrating tyre monitoring *
In order for the Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (ITPMS) to work correctly, a referencevalue for the tyre pressure must be determined.This must be performed each time the tyres arechanged or the tyre pressure is changed.
For example, when driving with a heavy load or at high speed above 160 km/h (100 mph), the tyrepressure should be adjusted in accordance withVolvo's recommended tyre pressure values. Fol-lowing which, the system must be recalibrated.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Inflate the tyres to the desired pressure in accordance with the tyre pressure label on the door pillar on the driver's side.
3. Start the engine. 4.
Open the
Car status app in the app view.
5.Tap on Status to view tyre monitoring.
NOTE
The car must be stationary when calibration is started.
6.Press Calibrate.
7. Tap on
OK to confirm that the tyre pressure
in all four tyres has been checked and adjusted. 8. Drive the car.
Calibration is performed while the car is driv-ing. Calibration is interrupted temporarily ifthe engine is switched off, but is resumedautomatically when the car is driven again.
> When sufficient data has been collectedto enable the system to detect low tyre pressure, the tyres in the centre displaychange colour from grey to green. Thesystem provides no additional confirma-tion that the calibration is complete. If calibration fails, a message is shown:
Calibration unsuccessful. Please try again..
NOTE
Remember that the TPMS system must be recalibrated at each tyre change or if the tyrepressure is adjusted. New reference valuesmust be stored for the system to work cor-rectly.

Tool for removing the plastic caps on the wheel bolts.
NOTE
The normal car jack is only designed for occa- sional, short-term use, such as when chang-ing a wheel after a puncture, changing to win-ter/summer wheels, etc. Only the jack for thespecific car model may be used to raise thecar. If the car is to be jacked up more often, orfor a longer time than is required just tochange a wheel, use of a garage jack is rec-ommended. In this instance, follow theinstructions for use that come with the equip-ment.
4. Place chocks in front of and behind the wheels which will remain on the ground to prevent them from rolling. Use heavy woodenblocks or large stones for example.
5. Screw together the towing eye with the wheel wrench * to the stop position.
IMPORTANT
The towing eye must be screwed all the way into the wheel bolt wrench.
6. Remove the plastic caps from the wheel
bolts with the intended tool.

Data transmission between car and workshop6
The time required for a booked visit to a Volvo workshop can be shortened by transmitting trou-bleshooting data as soon as the car stops at theworkshop. The data can be transmitted most conveniently by selecting the option
Automatically connect
when I arrive in settings view in the centre dis-
play.
Each time the car slows to a slow enough speed it starts searching for a Wi-Fi network. If anauthorised Volvo network (at a workshop) isfound, a message is displayed or a pop-up win-dow opens in the centre display. (This does notapply when you connect manually, see the sec-tion "Connecting to a workshop manually"below).
Connecting to a workshop automatically
NOTE
To avoid the driver being disturbed by unwan- ted connection inquiries (for example, if thecar is often parked in the neighbourhood of aworkshop with an authorised Volvo network),the connection mode will change to manual ifthe driver declines connection twice within aperiod of 5 days.
Without driver confirmation
This option provides the most convenient way of transmitting troubleshooting data. The car con-nects without the need for the driver to confirm. If the car stops at the workshop and is switched off with the start knob, a message is shown atthe top in the centre display. The car will connectautomatically when the driver

Rustproofing
The car has effective protection against corro- sion.
Anti-corrosion protection for the body consists of modern metallic protective coatings on the sheetmetal, a high-quality painting process, corrosion-protected and minimised metal overlap, andshielding plastic components, abrasion protectionand supplemental rust inhibitor in exposed areas.This combination guarantees that the body willremain free from corrosion problems over time. Inthe chassis, exposed components of the wheelsuspension are made of corrosion-resistant castaluminium.
Inspection and maintenanceThe car's anti-corrosion protection normallyrequires no maintenance, but a good way to fur-ther reduce the risk of corrosion is to keep thecar clean. Strong alkaline or acidic cleaning solu-tions must always be avoided on glossy trim com-ponents. Any stone chips should be rectified assoon as they are discovered.

Cleaning the interior
Only use cleaning agents and car care products recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly andtreat stains at once for best results. Vacuumingis important prior to using cleaning agents.
IMPORTANT
• Certain items of coloured clothing (e.g. dark jeans and suede garments) maystain the upholstery. If this occurs, it isimportant to clean and treat these partsof the upholstery as soon as possible.
• Never use strong solvents such aswasher fluid, pure petrol or white spirit toclean the interior, since this may damagethe upholstery as well as other interiormaterials.
• Never spray the cleaning agent directlyonto components that have electrical but-tons and controls. Wipe them insteadusing a moistened cloth containing thecleaning agent.
• Sharp objects and Velcro may damagethe fabric upholstery.
Fabric upholstery and ceiling upholsteryNever scrape or rub a stain since this risks destroying the upholstery. Never use strong stainremovers since this risks destroying the colour ofthe upholstery.
