Calibrating the tire pressure
monitoring system *
In order for the tire pressure monitoring system, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), tofunction correctly, tire pressure reference valuesmust be set correctly. This must be done eachtime the tires are changed or the tire pressure isadjusted.
For example, when driving with a heavy load or at high speeds (over 160 km/h (100 mph)), tirepressure should be adjusted to the Volvo-recom-mended tire pressure values. The system shouldthen be recalibrated.
1. Switch off the ignition.
2. Inflate the tires to the pressure indicated on the tire pressure placard on the driver's side B pillar.
3. Start the vehicle. 4. Open the
Car status app in App view.
5.Tap TPMS.
NOTE
The car must be stationary when calibration is started.
6.Tap Calibrate.
7. Tap
OK to confirm that the tire pressure in
all four tires has been checked and adjusted. 8. Run the car until calibration is complete.
Calibration is done when the vehicle is driv- ing at a speed above 35 km/h (22 mph).
> When enough data has been collected forthe system to detect low tire pressure, the color of the tire symbols in the center dis-play will change from gray to green. Thesystem will not provide any other confir-mation that calibration has been comple-ted. If the car's ignition is switched off before calibration is complete, the tires in thecenter display change color from gray togreen upon next start-up, even if calibra-tion is not complete. Perform the calibra-tion again and allow it to complete withinthe same operating cycle to ensure thatthe calibration is carried out correctly. If start-up of calibration fails, the following message appears:
Calibration
unsuccessful. Try again..

Action when warned of low tirepressure
When the tire pressure monitoring system, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), detectslow pressure in one or more of the vehicle'stires, the driver will be alerted that action is nee-ded.
If the system's indicator symbol illumi- nates and the message Tire pressure
low is displayed, check the tire pres-
sure and inflate if necessary.
1. Switch off the ignition.
2. Check the inflation pressure on all four tires using a tire pressure gauge.
3. Inflate the tire to the correct pressure (see the tire pressure decal on the driver's side door pillar).
4. Through calibration of the system via the center display after the tire pressure hasbeen adjusted. Please be aware that the indicator symbol will not go out until the low tire pressure hasbeen corrected and the system has beenrecalibrated.
NOTE
To help prevent incorrect inflation pressure, pressure should be checked when the tiresare cold. The tires are considered to be coldwhen they have reached the same tempera-ture as the ambient temperature (about 3hours after the vehicle was last driven). Afterdriving for a few kilometers, the tires will warmup and the pressure will increase.
NOTE
• After inflating a tire, always replace the valve cap to help prevent valve damagecaused by gravel, dirt, etc.
• Use plastic valve caps only. Metal capscould corrode and become difficult toremove.
WARNING
•Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, which could cause the driverto lose control of the vehicle.
• The system cannot predict sudden tiredamage.
