Connecting the vehicle to the Internet via a Bluetooth-connectedphone
Establish an Internet connection using
Bluetooth and tethering from a phone andget access to multiple connected services inyour vehicle.
1. To connect the vehicle to the Internet via a Bluetooth-connected phone, the phone must first be paired with the vehicle viaBluetooth.
2. Make sure that the phone supports Inter- net sharing (tethering) and that the func-tion is activated. In an iPhone, the functionis called "personal hotspot". In Androidphones, the function can have differentnames, but is often called "hotspot". ForiPhone phones, the "personal hotspot"menu page must also be open until theInternet connection has been made.
3. If the phone has been connected via Blue- tooth previously, tap
Settings in the cen-
ter display's Top view.

No or poor Internet connection Factors affecting the Internet connection.
The amount of data transmitted depends on the services or apps currently in use in thevehicle. Streaming music, for example,involves the transmission of a large amount ofdata, and this requires a good connection anda strong signal.
Phone to vehicleInternet connection speed may vary depend-ing on the location of the cellular phone in thevehicle. Move the phone closer to the centerdisplay to increase signal strength. Make surethat nothing is between the phone and centerdisplay that could be blocking the signal.
Phone to network operatorThe speed of the mobile network variesdepending on the coverage in the vehicle'scurrent location. Coverage may be poorer ine.g. tunnels, mountainous areas, deep valleysor indoors. Connection speed is also depend-ent on the subscription you have with yourservice provider.
NOTE
If you experience any problems with data traffic, contact your network service pro-vider.
Restarting the phoneIf you experience any Internet connection problems, it may help to restart your phone.

Terms of use and data sharing The first time certain services and apps are started, a pop-up window with the heading
Terms and conditions and Data sharingmay open.The aim is to inform the user about Volvo's terms of use and data sharing policy. Byaccepting data sharing, the user accepts thatcertain information will be sent from the vehi-cle. This is required for certain services andapps to work with full functionality. The data sharing function for connected servi- ces and apps is disabled by default 16
. For cer-
tain connected services and apps in the vehi- cle to work, data sharing must be activated.Data sharing can be set from the center dis-play's settings menu or when the services orapps are started in the center display.
Privacy and data sharingThe software update that became available inNovember 2017 introduced privacy and datasharing settings for connected services anddownloaded apps. These settings can be found under
Privacy and data in the settings
menu in the vehicle's center display. There, you can choose which connected servi- ces will be allowed to share data. Data sharingfor downloaded apps can also be disabled there. Note that services and apps cannot beused as intended if data sharing is disabled. After a factory reset or e.g. a workshop visit or a software update, your data sharing preferen-ces may be reset to default settings. You willthen need to reactivate data sharing for con-nected services and downloaded apps.
NOTE
Settings for privacy and data sharing are unique for each driver profile.

530 the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined withthe low tire pressure telltale. When the systemdetects a malfunction, the telltale will flash forapproximately one minute and then remaincontinuously illuminated. This sequence willcontinue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups aslong as the malfunction exists. When the mal-function indicator is illuminated, the systemmay not be able to detect or signal low tirepressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replace-ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehi-cle that prevent the TPMS from functioningproperly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels onyour vehicle to ensure that the replacement oralternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS tocontinue to function properly.
Messages in the instrument panelIf tire pressure is too low, the low tire pressurewarning symbol is shown in the instrumentpanel along with a message. Check the infla- tion pressure in the
Car Status app in the
center display.

unavailable
Tire pressure system Service required
To keep in mind
Always save the new inflation pressure in the system after changing a tire or adjust-ing the inflation pressure.
If you switch to a tire of another size thanthe factory-mounted tires, the systemmust be reset by storing a new inflationpressure for these tires to avoid falsewarnings.
If a spare wheel 8
is used, it is possible that
the tire pressure monitoring system willnot work 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 tirepressure monitoring system.
WARNING
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, which could cause thedriver to lose control of the vehicle.
The system cannot predict sudden tiredamage.

Saving a new inflation pressure in the monitoring system *
In order for the tire pressure monitoring sys- tem 9
to function correctly, tire pressure refer-
ence values must be saved correctly. To help ensure that the system can correctly alert thedriver of low inflation pressure, this must bedone each time the tires are changed or theinflation pressure is adjusted.
For example, when driving with a heavy load or at high speeds (over 160 km/h (100 mph)),tire pressure should be adjusted to the Volvo-recommended tire pressure values. The sys-tem should then be reset by saving the newinflation pressure. To store the new inflation pressure as a refer- ence value in the system:
1. Switch off the ignition.
2. Inflate the tire to the correct inflation pres- sure; see the tire pressure placard on the driver's side B pillar for recommendedpressures for factory-mounted tires.
3. Start the vehicle. 4. Open the
Car Status app in App view.
5. Tap
TPMS.
NOTE
The vehicle must be stationary for theStore Pressure button to be selectable.
6.Tap Store Pressure.
7. Tap
OK to confirm that the tire pressure in
all four tires has been checked and adjusted.
8. Drive the vehicle until the new inflation pressure has been saved. The new infla-tion pressure is stored when the vehicle isdriven at speeds over 35 km/h (22 mph).
> When enough data has been collectedfor the system to detect low inflation pressure, the animation showing theprogress of the storing procedure willdisappear from the center display. Thesystem will not provide any further con-firmation that the new inflation pres-sure has been stored.
If storing cannot be performed,
Storing
pressure unsuccessful. Try again. will be
displayed. If the vehicle's ignition is switched off before the new inflation pressure has been saved, theprocedure must be performed again. To helpensure that the new inflation pressure is saved correctly, allow the storing procedure to com-plete during a single operating cycle.
WARNING
The exhaust gases contain carbon monox- ide, which is invisible and odorless but verypoisonous. The procedure for saving a newinflation pressure must therefore always beperformed outdoors or in a workshop withexhaust gas extraction.
