Phone
A phone equipped with Bluetooth can be wire- lessly connected to the vehicle's integratedhands-free system.
The audio and media system offers hands-free functionality for remotely controlling a number ofthe phone's features. The phone's integratedcontrols can also be used, even when it is con-nected to the vehicle. When the phone has been paired and connected to the vehicle, it can be used as an Internet con-nection or to make or receive calls, send orreceive text messages or wirelessly play music.
The phone is controlled fromthe center display but the Appmenu (accessed using theright-side steering wheel key-pad) and voice commands canalso be used to control certainfunctions.

Connecting a phone to the car viaBluetooth for the first time
Pair a Bluetooth-enabled phone to the vehicle to make calls, send/receive text messages andwirelessly play media from the vehicle, or con-nect the vehicle to the Internet.
Two Bluetooth devices can be connected at the same time, but in that case, only one will be usedfor wireless playback. The most recently pairedphone will be automatically connected to makecalls, send/receive text messages, play media oruse as an Internet connection. To change whatthe phone is used for when it is paired, go to
Bluetooth Devices settings.
After the device has been connected/registered for the first time via Bluetooth, the device nolonger needs to be visible/searchable. It justneeds to have Bluetooth activated. To connectthe vehicle to the Internet using a phone, thephone's Wi-Fi sharing function (personal hot-spot/tethering) must be activated. A maximum of20 paired Bluetooth devices can be stored in thevehicle. There are two ways to pair a phone to the vehicle. Searching for the phone from the vehicle orsearching for the vehicle from the phone.
Option 1 - searching for the phone from the vehicle
1. Make the phone discoverable/visible using its Bluetooth function. 2. To connect the vehicle to the Internet via the
phone's Bluetooth function, activate Internetsharing (tethering/personal hotspot) viaBluetooth in the phone.
3. Open the phone tile.
•If no phone has been paired to the vehi- cle, tap
Add phone.
• If a phone has been paired to the vehicle, tap
Change. Tap Add phone in the
pop-up window.
> A list of available Bluetooth devices will be displayed. The list will be updated as new devices are discovered.
4. Tap the name of the phone you would like to connect.
5. Make sure that the code displayed in the vehicle matches the one in the phone. Con-firm the code in both cases.
6. In the phone, accept or cancel the options for selecting the phone's contacts and textmessages.
NOTE
• The message function must be activated in certain phones.
• Not all cell phones are fully compatibleand may not be able to display contactsand messages in the vehicle.

WHEELS AND TIRES

Recommended tire pressure
The tire pressure placard on the driver's side B pillar (between the front and the rear door) indi-cates tire pressure for different loads and speedconditions.
The placard specifies the designation for the fac- tory-mounted tires on the vehicle, as well as loadlimits and inflation pressures.

• Approved tire pressure (p. 643)
Tire pressure monitoring system
*
The tire pressure monitoring system, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), provides awarning symbol in the instrument panel if pres-sure is too low in one or more tires.
SymbolExplanation
This symbol illuminates to indicate low inflation pressure. If there is a system malfunction, the inflation pressure warning symbolwill flash for approximately oneminute and then glow steadily.
System descriptionThe tire pressure monitoring system measures differences in rotational speed between thewheels through the ABS system to determine ifthe tires are properly inflated. If inflation pressure in a tire is too low, its diameter (and consequently its rotational speed) changes. By comparing thetires with each other, the system can determine ifthe pressure in one or more tires is too low.
General information about the tire pressure
monitoring system
In the following description, the tire monitoring system is generally referred to as TPMS. Each tire, including the spare tire (if provided) 6
,
should be checked monthly when cold and infla- ted to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard ortire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle hastires of a different size than the size indicated onthe vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label,you should determine the proper tire inflationpressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoringsystem (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-sure telltale when one or more of your tires issignificantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when thelow tire pressure telltale illuminates, you shouldstop and check your tires as soon as possible,and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire cau- ses the tire to overheat and can lead to tire fail-ure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiencyand tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle'shandling and stopping ability. Please note thatthe TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire main-tenance, and it is the driver's responsibility tomaintain correct tire pressure, even if under-infla-tion has not reached the level to trigger illumina-tion of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when thesystem is not operating properly. The TPMS mal-function indicator is combined with the low tirepressure telltale. When the system detects a mal-

534 function, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illumi-nated. This sequence will continue upon subse-quent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunc-tion exists. When the malfunction indicator is illu-minated, the system may not be able to detect orsignal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacementor alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle thatprevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on yourvehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter-nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to con-tinue to function properly.
Messages in the instrument panelIf tire pressure is too low, the low tire pressurewarning symbol is shown in the instrument panelalong with a message.
•
Tire pressure low Check tires, calibrate
after fill
•Tire pressure system Temporarily
unavailable
•Tire pressure system Service required
To keep in mind
• Always calibrate the system after changing wheels or adjusting tire pressure. See the tire pressure placard on the driver's side B pillarfor Volvo-recommended tire pressures.
• If you switch to a tire of another size than thefactory-mounted tires, the system must becalibrated for these tires to avoid false warn-ings.
• If a spare wheel 7
is used, it is possible that
the tire pressure monitoring system will notwork correctly due to the differencesbetween the wheels.
• The system does not replace the need forregular tire inspection and maintenance.
• It is not possible to deactivate the tire pres-sure monitoring system.
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.
