Pressure Monitoring System)

warns the
driver when the pressure is too low in one or
more of the car's tyres.
Tyre pressure monitoring uses sensors
located inside the air valve in each wheel.
When the car is driven at about 40 km/h the
system detects the tyre pressure. If the pres-
sure is too low then a warning lamp
in the
combined instrument panel illuminates and a
message is shown in the information display.
Both factory-fitted and optional wheels can
be equipped with TPMS sensors in the
valves.
If wheels without TPMS sensors are used or if
a sensor has failed then
Tyre press. syst
Service required will be shown.
Always check the system after changing a
wheel in order to ensure that replacement
wheels work with the system.
For information on the correct tyre pressure,
see Tyres - air pressure (p. 323).
The system does not replace normal tyre
maintenance.
IMPORTANT
If a fault should arise in the tyre pressure
system a warning lamp
in the com-
bined instrument panel will illuminate and a
message will be shown. This can be for
various reasons, e.g. fitting a wheel not
equipped with a sensor adapted for Vol-
vo's tyre pressure monitoring system.

warns the
driver when the pressure is too low in one or
more of the car's tyres.
TPMS can be adjusted in order to follow Vol-
vo's tyre pressure recommendations (p. 323),
when driving with a heavy load for example.
NOTE
The engine must not be running when the
tyres are calibrated.
The settings are made with the control in the
centre console, see MY CAR (p. 99).
1. Inflate the tyres to the required pressure
and select key position I or II.
2. Select the menu system MY CAR to open
the menus for tyre pressure.
3.
Select
Calibrate tyre pressure.
4. Press OK.
5. Start the car and drive at least at 40 km/h
for a total of at least 1 minute and check
that the message disappears.
> Then the TPMS is recalibrated to the
new tyre pressure.
