Jack*

Use the jack to raise the car when changing a
wheel.

Only use the original jack when fitting a spare
wheel or when changing between summer and
winter wheels. The jack's thread must always be
well greased.

IMPORTANT

The tools and jack

* must be stored in the

intended location in the car's cargo area
when not in use.

NOTE

The normal car jack is only designed for occa-
sional, short-term use, such as when chang-
ing a wheel after a puncture, changing to win-
ter/summer wheels, etc. Only the jack for the
specific car model may be used to raise the
car. If the car is to be jacked up more often, or
for a longer time than is required just to
change a wheel, use of a garage jack is rec-
ommended. In this instance, follow the
instructions for use that come with the equip-
ment.

First aid kit*

The first aid box contains first aid equipment.

A case containing first aid equipment is located
on the left-hand side of the cargo area.

Tyre monitoring (TM)*

The TM (Tyre Monitor) system senses the rota-
tion speed of the tyres in order to determine
whether they have the correct tyre pressure.

System description

If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre's diameter
is changed and, as a result, so is its rotation
speed. By comparing the tyres with each other
the system can determine whether one or more
tyres have pressure that is too low.

The system does not replace normal tyre mainte-
nance.

Messages

If the tyre pressure is too low then an indicator
symbol (

) illuminates in the combined instru-

ment panel and one of the following messages is
shown:

•

Tyre pressure low Check, adjust and
calibrate

•

Tyre pressure system Service required

•

Tyre pressure system Currently
unavailable

IMPORTANT

If a fault occurs in the TM system the indica-
tor symbol

in the combined instrument

panel will flash for approx. 1 minute and then
illuminate with a constant glow. A message is
also shown in the combined instrument panel.

Standard in certain markets.

Deleting the messages

1. Check the tyre pressure in all tyres with a

tyre pressure gauge.

2. Inflate the tyre/tyres to the correct pressure

in accordance with the tyre pressure label on
the driver's side door pillar (between front
and rear doors).

3. Recalibrate the TM system in MY CAR.

NOTE

To avoid incorrect tyre pressure, the pressure
should be checked on cold tyres. "Cold tyres"
means the tyres are the same temperature as
the ambient temperature (approx. 3 hours
after the car has been driven). After a few kil-
ometres of driving, the tyres warm up and the
pressure increases.

WARNING

•

Incorrect tyre pressure may lead to tyre
failure, which could result in the driver
losing control of the car.

•

The system cannot indicate sudden tyre
damage in advance.

TM calibration

In order for TM system to work correctly, a refer-
ence value for the tyre pressure must be deter-
mined. This must be done each time the tyres are

changed or the tyre pressure is adjusted by reca-
librating the system in MY CAR.

For example, the tyre pressure should be
adjusted when driving with a heavy load or for
high-speed driving (above 160 km/h (100 mph)).
Following which, the system must be recalibrated.

Recalibration

Settings are made using the centre console's
controls, see MY CAR (p. 113).

1. Stop the engine.

2. Inflate all tyres to the desired pressure in

accordance with the tyre pressure label on
the driver's side door pillar (between front
and rear doors).

Or see the tyre pressure table.

3. Start the engine and let the car stand still.

4. Open the menu system MY CAR and select

the menu

Tyre monitor

5. Select

Start calibration

and press OK.

6. Press OK after all tyres have been checked

and adjusted in order to start calibration.

7. Drive the car.

> Calibration is performed when the car is

driven at a speed above 35 km/h
(22 mph). Calibration is interrupted tem-
porarily if the engine is switched off, but is
resumed automatically in the background
when the car is driven again. The system
provides no confirmation when the cali-
bration is complete.

The new reference value applies until steps 1-7
are repeated.

NOTE

Remember that the TM system must be reca-
librated at each tyre change or if the tyre
pressure is adjusted. If new reference values
are not stored then the system cannot func-
tion properly.

NOTE

•

After a tyre has been inflated, always refit
the dust cap in order to avoid damage to
the valve from gravel, dirt, etc.

•

Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust
caps can rust and become difficult to
unscrew.

Emergency puncture repair*

The emergency puncture repair kit, Temporary
Mobility Kit (TMK), is used to seal a puncture
and check and adjust the air pressure.

The emergency puncture repair kit consists of a
compressor and a bottle of sealant. The sealing
works as a temporary repair. The sealing fluid
effectively seals tyres punctured in the tread.

The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
capacity to seal tyres which have punctures in the
wall. Do not use the puncture repair kit on tyres
that have larger slits, cracks or similar damage.

NOTE

The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture in
the tread.

NOTE

The compressor for temporary emergency
puncture repair has been tested and
approved by Volvo.

Location

The puncture repair kit is located in the foam
block

under the floor in the cargo area.

tle holder.
> The bottle and the bottle holder are

equipped with a reverse catch to prevent
sealant leakage. When the bottle is
screwed in it cannot be unscrewed from
the bottle holder again. Bottle removal
must be performed at a workshop, Volvo
recommends an authorised Volvo work-
shop.

WARNING

•

In the event of skin contact with the seal-
ing fluid, it must be washed off immediately
with soap and plenty of water.

•

Sealing fluid that makes contact with an
eye must be rinsed away immediately with
eye wash fluid or with plenty of water. If the
discomfort persists then the eye should be
examined by a doctor.

WARNING

Do not unscrew the bottle, it is equipped with

a reverse catch to prevent leakage.

6. Unscrew the tyre's dust cap.

Check that the pressure reducing valve on
the air hose is fully screwed on, and screw in
the air hose's valve connection to the bottom
of the thread on the tyre's air valve.

7. Plug the electrical cable into the closest

12 V socket and start the car.

NOTE

Make sure that none of the other 12 V sock-
ets is in use when the compressor is operat-
ing.

WARNING

supervision when the engine is running.

8. Start the compressor by flicking the switch to

position I (On).

WARNING

Never stand next to the tyre when the com-

pressor is running. If cracks or unevenness

arise then the compressor must be switched

off immediately. The journey should not be

continued. Call roadside assistance for recov-

ery to a tyre centre. Volvo recommends an

authorised tyre centre.

NOTE

When the compressor starts, the pressure
can increase up to 6 bar but the pressure
drops after approximately 30 seconds.

9. Inflate the tyre for 7 minutes.

IMPORTANT

The compressor must not be operated for
longer than 10 minutes - risk of overheating.

10. Switch off the compressor to check the pres-

sure on the pressure gauge. Minimum pres-
sure is 1.8 bar and maximum 3.5 bar.
(Release air with the pressure reducing valve
if the tyre pressure is too high.)

WARNING

If the pressure is below 1.8 bar (22 psi) then

the hole in the tyre is too big. The journey

should not be continued. Call roadside assis-

tance for recovery to a tyre centre. Volvo rec-

ommends an authorised tyre centre.

11. Switch off the compressor and unplug the

electrical cable.

12. Unscrew the air hose from the tyre's air valve

When driving under adverse conditions, see
Engine oil - adverse driving conditions (p. 390).

IMPORTANT

In order to fulfil the requirements for the
engine's service intervals all engines are filled
with a specially adapted synthetic engine oil
at the factory. The choice of oil has been
made very carefully with regard to service life,
starting characteristics, fuel consumption and
environmental impact.

An approved engine oil must be used in order
that the recommended service intervals can
be applied. Only use a prescribed grade of oil
for both filling and oil change, otherwise you
will risk affecting service life, starting charac-
teristics, fuel consumption and environmental
impact.

Volvo Car Corporation disclaims all warranty
liability if engine oil of the prescribed grade
and viscosity is not used.

Volvo recommends that oil changes are car-
ried out at an authorised Volvo workshop.

Volvo uses different systems for warning of low/
high oil level or low oil pressure. Certain engine
variants have an oil pressure sensor, and then the
combined instrument panel's warning symbol for
low oil pressure is used

. Other variants

have an oil level sensor, when the driver is

informed via the instrument's warning symbol

and display texts. Certain variants have

both systems. Contact a Volvo dealer for more
information.

Change the engine oil and oil filter in accordance
with the intervals specified in the Service and
Warranty Booklet.

Using oil of a higher than specified grade is per-
mitted. If the car is driven in adverse conditions,
Volvo recommends using an oil of a higher grade
than the one specified, see Engine oil - adverse
driving conditions (p. 390).

For filling capacities, see Engine oil - grade and
volume (p. 391).
