fied in the tyre pressure table, see Tyres -

•

Check the tyre pressure when the

tyres are cold. "Cold tyres" means that

the tyres are at the same temperature

as the outdoor temperature. The tyres

will heat up and the tyre pressures will

increase after driving for a few kilome-

tres.

•

Tyre pressures which are too low will

increase fuel consumption, reduce tyre

service life and impair the car's han-

dling. Driving with tyre pressures

which are too low may lead to the

tyres overheating and sustaining dam-

age. Tyre pressures affect ride com-

fort, road noise and steering.

•

Tyre pressure decreases over time,

this is a natural phenomenon. Tyre

pressure also varies depending on

ambient temperature.

Tyre pressure label

G021830

The tyre pressure label on the driver side's

door pillar (between frame and rear door)

shows the tyre pressures for the car's recom-

mended tyre dimensions. This is also speci-

approved tyre pressures (p. 408).

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. Minimum speed rat-

ing is indicated in the speed rating table

below. The only exception to these regula-
tions is the winter tyre (p. 319)

, 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 maxi-

mum of 160 km/h). Traffic regulations deter-

mine how fast a car can be driven, not the

speed rating of the tyres.

Winter tyres

Winter tyres are tyres that are adapted for

winter road conditions.

Winter tyres
Volvo recommends winter tyres with particu-

lar dimensions. Tyre dimensions are depend-

ent on engine variant. When driving on winter

tyres, the correct type of tyres must be fitted

to all four wheels.

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 espe-

cially the studs, a longer service life.

Changing wheels - removing wheels

The legal provisions for the use of studded

tyres vary from country to country.

Tread depth
Road conditions with ice, slush and low tem-

peratures place considerably higher demands

on tyres than summer conditions. Volvo

therefore recommends 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 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 equiva-

lent chains designed for the car model,

and tyre and rim dimensions. In the event

of uncertainty Volvo recommends that you

consult an authorised Volvo workshop.

The wrong snow chains may cause serious

damage to your car and lead to an acci-

dent.

Changing wheels - removing wheels

The car's wheels can be changed for e.g. win-

ter wheels/winter tyres.

Spare wheel*
The following instructions only apply if a

spare wheel has been purchased as an

accessory for the car. If the car is not equip-

ped with a spare wheel - see information

about Emergency puncture repair (TMK)

(p. 330).
The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only

intended for use temporarily and must be

replaced by an ordinary wheel as soon as

possible. 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 clearance is affected accord-

ingly. 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 discon-

nected. The spare wheel must not be

repaired.
The correct tyre pressure for the spare wheel

is stated in the tyre pressure table (p. 408).

a Volvo dealer or workshop.

Clearing warning messages
If a tyre pressure message has been shown

and the TPMS warning lamp has been illumi-

nated:
1. Check the tyre pressure on the indicated

tyre/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. In some cases it may be necessary to

drive the car for a few minutes at a speed

above 30 km/h in order to clear the warn-

ing text. At which point, the TPMS warn-

ing lamp is extinguished as well.

•

The TPMS system uses a so-called

compensated pressure value, based

on both tyre temperature and ambient

temperature. This means that the tyre

pressure may differ slightly from the

recommended pressures listed on the

tyre pressure label on the driver's side

door pillar (between front and rear

doors). For this reason, it may be nec-

essary to inflate the tyres to a slightly

higher pressure in order to clear a low

tyre pressure message.

•

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 kilo-

metres 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.
