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.

General information on the tyre monitoring system
In the information below, the tyre monitoring sys- tem is referred to generically as TPMS. Each tyre, including the spare tyre *, should be
checked once a month. When checking, the tyre should be cold and have the air pressure recom-mended by the car manufacturer specified on thetyre pressure label or in the tyre pressure table. Ifthe car has tyres of a different size than that rec-ommended by the manufacturer, find out whatthe correct air pressure level is for these. As an extra safety feature, the car is equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS),which shows when the air pressure in one ormore tyres is too low. When the indicator symbolfor low air pressure is lit, stop and check the tyresas soon as possible and inflate to the correct airpressure. Driving with tyres that have tyre pressure that is too low may cause the tyre to overheat, whichcan cause a puncture. Low tyre pressure alsoreduces fuel efficiency as well as tyre service life,and can affect car handling and stopping ability.Note that TPMS does not replace regular tyremaintenance. It is the driver's responsibility tomaintain correct tyre pressure, even if the limit forlow tyre pressure has not been reached so thatthe indicator symbol illuminates. The car is also equipped with a TPMS system fault indicator, which indicates when the system is not functioning correctly. The TPMS systemfault indicator is combined with the indicator sym-bol for low tyre pressure. When the systemdetects a fault, the symbol in the driver displaywill flash for about one minute and then remainilluminated. This procedure will be repeated whenthe car is started until the fault has been rectified.When the symbol is illuminated, the system's abil-ity to detect or warn of low tyre pressure may beaffected. A TPMS system fault can occur for several rea- sons, such as after changing to a spare tyre, orchanging tyres or wheels that prevent TPMS fromfunctioning correctly. Always check the indicator symbol for TPMS after changing one or more tyres in order toensure the new tyre or wheel is working correctlywith TPMS.
Messages in the driver displayThe following messages may be shown when theindicator symbol is illuminated:
•
Tyre pressure low Check tyres, calibrate
after fill
•Tyre pressure system Temporarily
unavailable
•Tyre pressure system Service required.
If the system cannot determine which tyre has low pressure, all four tyres will be indicated in thecentre display.
To bear in mind
• Always calibrate the system after a wheelchange or tyre pressure adjustment. See thetyre pressure label on the driver's side doorpillar for Volvo's recommended tyre pres-sures.
• The system does not replace normal tyremaintenance.
• There is no option to deactivate ITPMS.

Checking tyre pressure with the tyre monitoring system *
With the system for tyre monitoring, Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (ITPMS), tyre pres-sure status can be viewed in the centre display.
Checking status1. Open the Car status app in the app view.
2.Tap on Status to show the status of the
tyres.
Status indication
The graphics show the status for each tyre.
Status view 2
.
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.

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.
