WARNING
When inflating a tyre equipped with TPMS,
hold the nozzle of the pump directly
against the valve to avoid damaging the
valve.
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.
NOTE
If you want to change the tyre dimension
then the TPMS system must be reconfig-
ured. For further information - contact a
Volvo dealer.

If SST (Self Supporting run flat Tires)* is
selected, the car is also equipped with TPMS
(p. 327).
This type of tyre has a specially reinforced
side wall that makes continued driving possi-
ble to a limited extent despite the tyre losing
all or some of its pressure. These tyres are fit-
ted on a special rim. (Normal tyres can also
be fitted to this rim.)
If an SST tyre loses tyre pressure then the
yellow TPMS lamp in the combined instru-
ment panel illuminates and a message is
shown in the information display. If this
occurs, reduce speed to max. 80 km/h. The
tyre must be replaced as soon as possible.
Drive carefully, in some cases it can be diffi-
cult to see which tyre is faulty. In order to
establish which tyre needs attention, check
all four tyres.
WARNING
Only people with knowledge of SST tyres
should fit them.
SST tyres must only be fitted together with
TPMS.
After an error message about low tyre
pressure has been shown, do not drive
faster than 80 km/h.
Maximum mileage before tyre replacement
is 80 km.
Avoid hard driving such as sudden braking
or turning.
SST tyres must be replaced if they are
damaged or punctured.
