Towing eye

Use the towing eye for towing a vehicle. The
towing eye is screwed into a threaded socket
behind a cover on the right-hand side of the
bumper, front or rear.

Attaching the towing eye

1. Take out the towing eye that is stored in the

foam block under the cargo area floor.

2. The cover for the towing eye's attachment

point is opened as follows:

•

The cover has a marking along one side
or in a corner: Press the marking with a
finger and fold out the opposite side/
corner at the same time - the cover turns
around its axis and can then be removed.

3. Screw the towing eye right in up to its flange.

Turn in the towing eye firmly e.g. using the
wheel wrench

IMPORTANT

The towing eye is only designed for towing on
roads - not for pulling the car unstuck or out
of a ditch. Call a recovery service for recovery
assistance.

Removal

1. Unscrew and remove the towing eye after

use. Place the towing eye back in its position
in the foam block.

2. Refit the cover on the bumper.

WHEELS AND TYRES

314

Tyres - maintenance

Amongst other things, the function of the tyres is
to carry load, provide grip on the road surface,
dampen vibration and protect the wheel from
wear.

Driving characteristics

Tyres greatly affect the car's driving characteris-
tics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre pressure
and speed rating are important for how the car
performs.

Tyre age

All tyres older than 6 years old should be
checked by an expert even if they seem undam-
aged. Tyres age and decompose, even if they are
hardly ever or never used. The function can
therefore be affected. This applies to all tyres that
are stored for future use. Examples of external
signs which indicate that the tyre is unsuitable for
use are cracks or discoloration.

New tyres

Tyres are perishable. After a few years they begin
to harden at the same time as the friction
capacity/characteristics gradually deteriorate. For
this reason, aim to get as fresh tyres as possible
when you replace them. This is especially impor-
tant with regard to winter tyres. The last four dig-
its in the sequence mean the week and year of
manufacture. This is the tyre's DOT marking
(Department of Transportation), and this is stated
with four digits, for example 1510. The tyre in the
figure was manufactured in week 15 of 2010.

Summer and winter wheels

When summer and winter wheels are changed
the wheels should be marked with which side of
the car they were mounted on, for example L for
left and R for right.

Wear and maintenance

Correct tyre pressure (p. 316) results in more
even wear. Driving style, tyre pressure, climate
and road condition affect how quickly your tyres
age and wear. To avoid differences in tread depth
and to prevent wear patterns (p. 316) arising, the
front and rear wheels can be switched with each
other. A suitable distance for the first change is
approx. 5000 km and then at 10000 km inter-
vals. Volvo recommends the an authorised Volvo
workshop is contacted for checking if you are
uncertain about tread depth. If significant differ-
ences in wear (> 1 mm difference in tread depth)
between tyres have already occurred, then the
least worn tyres must always be fitted on the rear.
Understeer is normally easier to correct than
oversteer, and leads to the car continuing for-
wards in a straight line rather than having the
rear end skidding to one side, resulting in possi-
ble complete loss of control over the car. This is
why it is important for the rear wheels never to
lose grip before the front wheels.

Wheels with tyres fitted must be stored lying
down or hanging up - never standing up.

WARNING

A damaged tyre may lead to loss of control

over the car.

Tyres - direction of rotation

Tyres with a tread pattern which are designed to
only turn in one direction have the direction of
rotation marked with an arrow.

G021778

The arrow shows the tyre's direction of rotation.

The tyre must always rotate in the same direction
throughout its lifespan. Tyres should only be
switched between front and rear positions, never
between left and right-hand sides, or vice versa. If
the tyres are fitted incorrectly, the car's braking
characteristics and capacity to force rain and
slush out of the way are adversely affected. Tyres
with the greatest tread depth should always be
fitted to the rear of the car (to decrease the risk
of skidding).

NOTE

Make sure that both pairs of wheels have the
same type and dimension, and also the same
make.

Follow the recommended tyre pressure (p. 316)
specified in the tyre pressure table.

Tyres - tread wear indicators

Tread wear indicators show the status of the
tyre's tread depth.

G021829

Tread wear indicators.

A tread wear indicators is a narrow elevation
across the longitudinal grooves of the tyre's tread
pattern. On the side of the tyre are the letters
TWI (Tread Wear Indicator). When the tyre's tread
depth is down to 1.6 mm, the tread will be level in
height with the tread wear indicators. Change to
new tyres as soon as possible. Remember that
tyres with little tread depth provide very poor grip
in rain and snow.

Tyres - air pressure

Tyres can have different air pressures which are
measured in bar.

Check the air pressure in the tyres

The air pressure for the tyres should be checked
every month and should be checked on cold
tyres. "Cold tyres" means the tyres are the same
temperature as the ambient temperature. After
several few kilometres of driving, the tyres warm
up and the pressure increases.

Inadequate tyre pressure increases fuel con-
sumption, shortens tyre lifespan and impairs the
car's driving characteristics. Driving on tyres with
tyre pressure that is too low could result in the
tyres overheating and being damaged. Tyre pres-
sure affects travelling comfort, road noise and
driving characteristics.

NOTE

Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a
natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure also var-
ies depending on ambient temperature.

Tyre pressure label

G021830

The tyre pressure label on the driver's side door
pillar (between frame and rear door) shows which
pressure the tyres should have at different loads
and speed conditions. This is also specified in the
tyre pressure table.

Tyre pressure for the car's recommended tyre
dimension and information about ECO pressure
that results in improved fuel economy can be
found in the printed owner's manual.

NOTE

Temperature differences change the
tyre pressure.

ble fuel economy. If the best possible noise and
travelling comfort conditions are sought, the
lower comfort pressures are recommended
instead.

Tyres - speed ratings

Each tyre can withstand a certain maximum
speed and therefore belongs to a particular
speed rating (SS - Speed Symbol).

Tyre speed class must at least correspond with
the car's top speed. The table below indicates the
maximum permitted speed that applies for each
speed rating (SS). The only exception to these
conditions is winter tyres (p. 320) (both those
with metal studs and those without), where a
lower speed rating may be used. If such a tyre is
chosen, the car must not be driven faster than
the speed rating of the tyre (for example, class Q
can be driven at a maximum of 160 km/h
(100 mph)). Traffic regulations determine how
fast a car can be driven, not the speed rating of
the tyres.

NOTE

The maximum permitted speed is specified in
the table.

160 km/h (100 mph) (only used on win-
ter tyres)

Winter tyres

Winter tyres are tyres that are adapted for winter
road conditions.

Winter tyres

Volvo recommends winter tyres with particular
dimensions. Tyre dimensions are dependent on
engine variant. When driving on winter tyres, the
correct type of tyres must be fitted to all four
wheels.

NOTE

Volvo recommends that you consult a Volvo
dealer about which wheel rim and tyre types
are most suitable.

Studded tyres

Studded winter tyres should be run in gently for
500-1000 km so the studs settle properly into
the tyres. This gives the tyre, and especially the
studs, a longer service life.

NOTE

The legal provisions for the use of studded
tyres vary from country to country.

Tread depth

Road conditions with ice, slush and low tempera-
tures place considerably higher demands on tyres
than summer conditions. Volvo therefore recom-

mends not to drive on winter tyres that have a
tread depth of less than 4 mm.

Using snow chains

Snow chains may only be used on the front
wheels (also applies to all-wheel drive cars).
Never drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph) with
snow chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as this
wears out both the snow chains and tyres.

WARNING

Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equivalent

chains designed for the car model, and tyre

and rim dimensions. In the event of uncer-

tainty Volvo recommends that you consult an

authorised Volvo workshop. The wrong snow

chains may cause serious damage to your car

and lead to an accident.

Changing wheels - removing wheels (p. 322)

Spare wheel*

A spare wheel (Temporary spare) is used to tem-
porarily replace a punctured normal wheel.

A spare wheel is only intended for use temporar-
ily and must be replaced by a normal wheel as
soon as possible. The car's handling may be
altered by the use of a spare wheel. The spare
wheel is smaller than the normal wheel. The car's
ground clearance is affected accordingly. Pay
attention to high kerbs and do not machine wash
the car. If the spare wheel is fitted on the front
axle, you cannot use snow chains at the same
time. On all-wheel drive cars the drive on the rear
axle can be disconnected. The spare wheel must
not be repaired. The correct tyre pressure for the
spare wheel is stated in the tyre pressure table,
Tyres - air pressure (p. 316).

IMPORTANT

•

Never drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph) with a spare wheel on the car.

•

The car must never be driven fitted with
more than one "Temporary Spare" wheel.

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

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.

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.

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.
