Action when warned of low tire

pressure

When the system for monitoring inflation pres-
sure

detects low inflation pressure in a tire,

immediate action is required.

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 inflation pres-

sure; see the tire pressure placard on the
driver's side B pillar for recommended pres-
sures for factory-mounted tires.

4. Through calibration of the system via the

center display after the tire pressure has
been adjusted.

Please be aware that the indicator symbol
will not go out until the low tire pressure has
been corrected and the system has been
recalibrated.

NOTE

To help prevent incorrect inflation pressure,
pressure should be checked when the tires
are cold. The tires are considered to be cold
when they have reached the same tempera-
ture as the ambient temperature (about 3
hours after the vehicle was last driven). After
driving for a few kilometers, the tires will warm
up and the pressure will increase.

NOTE

•

After inflating a tire, always replace the
valve cap to help prevent valve damage
caused by gravel, dirt, etc.

•

Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.

WARNING

•

Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to
tire failure, which could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle.

•

The system cannot predict sudden tire
damage.

Spare wheel

The spare wheel is a Temporary Spare and can
be used to temporarily replace a punctured tire
on one of the vehicle's regular wheels.

The spare tire is only intended for temporary use.
Replace it with a normal wheel as soon as possi-
ble.

The driving characteristics of the vehicle change
and ground clearance reduces when the spare
wheel is used. Do not wash the vehicle in an
automatic car wash while using the Temporary
Spare.

The recommended tire pressure must be main-
tained regardless of at which position the tempo-
rary spare wheel is used on the vehicle.

If the spare wheel is damaged, a new one can be
purchased from a Volvo retailer.

WARNING

Current legislation prohibits the use of the

"Temporary Spare" tire other than as a tem-

porary replacement for a punctured tire. It

must be replaced as soon as possible by a

standard tire. Road holding and handling may

be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in

use. Do not drive faster than 80 km/h

(50 mph).

Not available on all models.

WHEELS AND TIRES

576

WARNING

•

The vehicle must never be driven with
more than one "Temporary Spare" tire
mounted.

•

Driving with a spare wheel may alter the
driving characteristics of the vehicle.
Replace the spare wheel with a normal
wheel as soon as possible.

•

The spare wheel is smaller than the nor-
mal wheel, which affects the vehicle's
ground clearance. Watch for high curbs
and do not wash the vehicle in an auto-
matic car wash when a spare wheel is
mounted.

•

Follow the manufacturer's recommended
tire inflation pressure for the spare wheel.

•

On all-wheel drive vehicles, the drive on
the rear axle can be disconnected.

•

If the spare wheel is mounted on the
front axle, snow chains must not be used.

•

The spare wheel must not be repaired.

CAUTION

The vehicle must not be driven with wheels of
different dimensions or with a spare tire other
than the one that came with the vehicle. The
use of different size wheels can seriously
damage your vehicle's transmission.

Accessing the spare wheel

Follow these instructions regarding handling the
spare wheel.

The spare wheel is stored in a bag and should be
secured with two straps onto the floor of the
trunk/cargo compartment when the vehicle is
being driven. The straps should be strapped
down crosswise over the wheel, attached to the
load anchoring eyelets and pulled taut.

Wheel changing tools are located under the
cargo compartment floor.

Snow tires

Snow tires are designed for winter driving.

Volvo recommends snow tires with specific
dimensions. The tire dimensions vary depending
on engine type. When driving with snow tires, the
correct type of tires must be mounted on all four
wheels.

NOTE

Contact a Volvo dealer for advice on the best
choice of rims and tires.

Tips for changing snow tires

When switching between regular tires and snow
tires, mark the tires according to which side they
were mounted on, e.g. L for left and R for right.

Studded tires

Studded tires should be broken in by driving
500–1000 km (300–600 miles) slowly and gen-
tly to help the studs settle properly in the tires.
This gives the tire, and especially the studs, a
longer service life.

NOTE

Regulations regarding the use of studded
tires vary from country to country.

Tread depth

Road conditions with ice, slush and low tempera-
tures place considerably higher demands on tires
than summer conditions. Volvo therefore recom-
mends not driving on snow tires that have a tread
depth of less than 4 mm (0.15 inch).

Snow chains

Using snow chains and/or snow tires can help
improve traction in winter driving conditions.

WARNING

Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equivalent

snow chains that are suitable for the vehicle

model and the tire and wheel sizes. Only one-

sided snow chains are permitted.
If uncertain about snow chains, Volvo recom-

mends contacting an authorized Volvo work-

shop. Use of the wrong snow chains could

cause serious damage to the vehicle and

result in an accident.

WHEELS AND TIRES

578

CAUTION

Snow chains can be used on the vehicle, with
the following restrictions:

•

Volvo recommends not using snow
chains on wheel dimensions larger than
18 inches.

•

Always follow the manufacturer's installa-
tion instructions carefully. Install chains
as tightly as possible and retighten peri-
odically.

•

Only put snow chains on the front wheels
(also applies to all-wheel drive vehicles).

•

If accessory, aftermarket or "custom"
tires and wheels with different dimen-
sions than the original tires and wheels
are used, snow chains in some cases
may NOT be used. Sufficient distance
between the chains and brakes, suspen-
sion and body components must be
maintained.

•

Check local regulations regarding the use
of snow chains before installing.

•

Never exceed the snow chain manufac-
turer's specified maximum speed limit.
Under no circumstances should you
exceed 50 km/h (30 mph).

•

Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when
driving with snow chains.

•

Avoid driving on surfaces without snow as
this wears out both the snow chains and
the tires.

•

The handling of the vehicle can be
adversely affected when driving with
chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as well
as locked wheel braking.

•

Some types of strap-on chains affect
brake components and therefore must
NOT be used.

Consult a Volvo retailer for more information
about snow chains.

Tire sealing system

The temporary tire sealing system can be used
to seal a puncture in a tire or to check and
adjust the pressure in the tire.

Models equipped with a spare wheel

do not

have the tire sealing system.

WARNING

California Proposition 65

Operating, servicing and maintaining a pas-

senger vehicle can expose you to chemicals

including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide,

phthalates, and lead, which are known to the

State of California to cause cancer and birth

defects or other reproductive harm. To mini-

mize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do

not idle the engine except as necessary, serv-

ice your vehicle in a well ventilated area and

wear gloves or wash your hands frequently

when servicing your vehicle. For more infor-

mation go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/

ing compound. Return the equipment to the
cargo compartment.

14. Immediately drive the vehicle at least 3 km

(2 miles) at a maximum speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph) to allow the sealing compound to
seal the tire, and then recheck the inflation
pressure.

NOTE

During the tire's first revolution, some sealing
compound may spray out of the puncture
hole.

WARNING

Before driving away, make sure that no one is

near the vehicle who could be sprayed with

sealing compound. Make sure no one is

within 2 meters(7 feet) of the vehicle.

15. Rechecking the inflation pressure

Connect the hose to the tire's valve and
screw the hose connector onto the valve as
far as possible. The compressor must be
switched off.

16. Check the inflation pressure on the air pres-

sure gauge.

•

If the pressure is under 1.3 bar (19 psi),
the tire is not sufficiently sealed. The vehi-
cle should not be driven. Call roadside
assistance to have the vehicle towed.

•

If the inflation pressure is higher than
1.3 bar (19 psi), the tire must be inflated
to the inflation pressure specified on the
tire pressure decal on the driver's side
door pillar (1 bar = 100 kPa = 14.5 psi). If
the inflation pressure is too high, use the
air release valve to release air.

valve cap to help prevent valve damage
caused by gravel, dirt, etc.

•

Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.

Determining the vehicle's permitted

weight

Properly loading your vehicle will provide maxi-
mum return of vehicle design performance.

Weight designations

Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself
with the following terms for determining your
vehicle's weight ratings, with or without a trailer,
from the vehicle's Federal/Canadian Motor Vehi-
cle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label, and
the vehicle's tire information placard:

Curb weight

The weight of the vehicle including a full tank of
fuel and all standard equipment. It does not
include passengers, cargo, or optional equipment.

Capacity weight

All weight added to the curb weight, including
cargo and optional equipment. When towing, tow-
bar weight is also part of cargo weight.

Permissible axle weight

The maximum allowable weight that can be car-
ried by a single axle (front or rear). These num-
bers are shown on the Federal/Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label.
The total load on each axle must never exceed its
maximum permissible weight.

Gross vehicle weight (GVW)

The vehicle's curb weight + cargo + passengers.

Steps for Determining Correct Load
Limit

1. Locate the statement "the combined weight

of occupants and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs." on your vehicle's plac-
ard.

2. Determine the combined weight of the driver

and passengers that will be riding in your
vehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver

and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.

4. The resulting figure equals the available

amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the "XXX" amount equals
1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of availa-
ble cargo and luggage load capacity is 650
lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 × 150) = 650 lbs.)

5. Determine the combined weight of luggage

and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated
in Step 4.

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load

from your trailer will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity of your vehicle.
