System and tyre status
The current status of the system and the tyres
can be checked, see MY CAR (p. 109).
1. Select the menu system MY CAR to open
the menus for tyre monitoring.
2.
Select
Tyre monitoring.
The status is colour-coded for each tyre in
accordance with the following:
•
All-green: the system is operating nor-
mally and the tyre pressure in all tyres is
slightly above the recommended level.
•
Yellow wheel: corresponding tyre's pres-
sure is too low.
•
All wheels yellow: two or more tyres have
pressure that is too low.
•
All wheels grey and the message
The
tyre pressure system is currently not
active: the tyre pressure system is tem-
porarily deactivated. It may be necessary
to drive the car for a short time above
30 km/h before the system becomes
active again.
•
All wheels grey and the message
Tyre
pressure system Service required: an
error has occurred in the system. Contact
a Volvo dealer or workshop.
Clearing warning messages
If a tyre pressure message has been shown
and the TM warning lamp has been illumi-
nated:
1. Check the tyre pressure in all tyres with a
tyre pressure gauge.
2. Inflate the tyre/tyres to the correct pres-
sure in accordance with the tyre pressure
label on the driver's side door pillar
(between front and rear doors).
3. Recalibrate the TM system.
NOTE
To avoid incorrect tyre pressure, the pres-
sure 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 kilometres 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.
Emergency puncture repair*
The emergency puncture repair kit,
Temporary Mobility Kit (TMK), is used to seal
a puncture and check and adjust the air pres-
sure.
The recommended tyre pressure is specified
on the tyre pressure label on the driver side
door pillar (between front and rear doors).
The emergency puncture repair kit consists of
a compressor and a bottle of sealant. The
sealing works as a temporary repair. The
sealing fluid bottle must be replaced before
its expiration date and after use. The sealing
fluid effectively seals tyres punctured in the
tread.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture
in the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
capacity to seal tyres which have punctures
in the wall. Do not seal tyres with the emer-
gency puncture repair kit if they have larger
slits, cracks or similar damage. Connect the
compressor to one of the car's 12 V sockets.
Choose the socket that is nearest to the
punctured tyre.
