Tyres - load index

Load index indicates a tyre's ability to carry a
certain load.

Each tyre has a certain capacity to carry a load, a
load index (LI). The car's weight determines the
load capacity required of the tyres. Lowest per-
missible index is specified in the tyre load index
table, see section "Specifications" in the printed
owner's manual.

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
regulations is the winter tyre (p. 330)

, 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)

190 km/h (118 mph)

210 km/h (130 mph)

240 km/h (149 mph)

W 270 km/h (168 mph)

300 km/h (186 mph)

WARNING

The car must be fitted with tyres which have

the same or a higher load index (p. 329) (LI)

and speed rating (SS) than specified. If a tyre

with too low a load index or speed rating is

used, it may overheat.

WHEELS AND TYRES

* Option/accessory.

330

Wheel bolts

Wheel bolts are used to fasten the wheels at the
hubs and are available in different versions.

IMPORTANT

The wheel bolts must be tightened to
140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.). Overtightening or loose
tightening may damage the nuts and the
bolts.

Only use rims that are tested and approved by
Volvo and which are Volvo genuine accessories.
Check the torque with a torque wrench.

Do not use lubricant on the threads of the wheel
bolts.

Locking wheel bolts

* can be used on both alumi-

nium and steel rims. Under the cargo area floor
there is space for the sleeve for the lockable
wheel bolts.

Wheel and wheel rim dimensions (p. 328)

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 (31 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

The car's wheels can be changed for e.g. winter
wheels/winter tyres.

Spare wheel

Two different versions of the spare wheel can be
supplied, in a bag or beneath the cargo floor.

The following instructions only apply if a
spare wheel has been purchased as an
accessory for the car. If the car is not equipped
with a spare wheel - see information about Emer-
gency puncture repair (TMK) (p. 339).

The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only
intended for use temporarily and must be
replaced by an ordinary wheel as soon as possi-
ble. The car's handling may be altered by the use
of the spare wheel. The spare wheel is smaller
than the normal wheel. The car's ground clear-
ance 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 (p. 421).

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.

The spare wheel is located in the spare wheel
well with the outside down. The same bolt runs
through to secure the spare wheel and the foam
block. The foam block contains all the tools nee-
ded to change the wheels.

The spare wheel is supplied in a bag and must be
secured on the cargo area floor using straps.

Cars with two load retaining eyelets.

Turn the handle on the spare wheel bag in
towards the rear seat. Attach the sewn-in ten-
sioning strap hooks in the load retaining eyelets.
Attach the long strap into one of the load retain-

ing eyelets, run the strap around the spare wheel
and through the lower handle. Tighten the short
tensioning strap onto the long one. Attach the
second load retaining eyelet and tighten.

Taking out the spare wheel under the
cargo area floor

1. Fold up the cargo area floor.

2. Undo the retaining screw.

3. Lift out the foam block with its tools.

4. Lift out the spare wheel.

Taking out the spare wheel in the bag

1. Loosen the straps, lift out the spare wheel

from the cargo area and remove it from the
spare wheel bag.

2. Fold up the cargo area floor.

3. Lift the tools and jack out from the foam

block.

3. Place chocks in front of and behind the

wheels which will remain on the ground to
prevent them from rolling. Use heavy wooden
blocks or large stones for example.

4. Cars with steel rims have removable wheel

covers. Use the removal tool to hook in and
pull off any full-wheel wheel covers. Alterna-
tively, the wheel covers can be pulled away by
hand.

5. Screw together the towing eye with the

wheel wrench

* to the stop position.

IMPORTANT

The towing eye must be screwed all the way
into the wheel bolt wrench

6. Remove the plastic caps from the wheel

bolts with the intended tool.

7. Loosen the wheel bolts ½-1 turn anticlock-

wise with the wheel wrench

WARNING

Never position anything between the ground

and the jack, nor between the jack and the

car's jacking point.

8. There are two jacking points on each side of

the car. Wind up the jack

* so that the flange

in the bodywork ends up in the notch in the
head of the jack.

IMPORTANT

The ground must be firm, smooth and level.

9. Lift the car so that the wheel is free. Remove

the wheel bolts and lift off the wheel.

WARNING

Never crawl under the car when it is raised on

the jack.
Passengers must leave the car when it is

raised on the jack. If a wheel must be

changed in a trafficked environment, passen-

gers must stand in a safe place.

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.

Tyre pressure monitoring*

The tyre pressure monitoring system warns with
an indicator symbol in the combined instrument
panel when the pressure is too low in one or
more of the car's tyres.

For certain markets the tyre pressure monitoring
is standard in accordance with legal require-
ments. The system does not replace normal tyre
maintenance.

Indicator symbol for tyre pressure monitoring.

Related information

•

Tyre monitoring (TM)

* (p. 337)

Tyre monitoring (TM)*

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

WHEELS AND TYRES

338

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. 109).

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 tyre pressure
(p. 421).

The emergency puncture repair kit (p. 340) con-
sists 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 seal tyres with the emergency punc-
ture repair kit if they 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.

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

Do not leave children in the car without

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

14. As soon as possible, drive at least 3 km at a

maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) so
that the sealing fluid can seal the tyre and
then perform a follow-up check.

NOTE

Sealant will spurt out of the puncture during
the first few rotations of the tyre.

WARNING

Make sure that nobody is standing near the

car and gets the sealing fluid splashed onto

them when the car is driven away. The dis-

tance should be at least 2 metres (7 feet).

Emergency puncture repair -

rechecking

When a tyre has been sealed with the emer-
gency puncture repair kit, Temporary Mobility Kit
(TMK), a subsequent check must be made after
approx. 3 kilometres of driving.

Check tyre pressure

Take out the tyre sealing equipment. The com-
pressor must be switched off.

1. Unscrew the tyre's dust cap.

Take out the air hose and screw in the
valve connection to the bottom of the thread
on the tyre's air valve.

2. Read the tyre pressure on the pressure

gauge.

•

If the tyre pressure is below 1.3 bar

then

the tyre is insufficiently sealed. The jour-
ney should not be continued. Call road-
side assistance for recovery.
