Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) – changing wheels
The tire pressure monitoring system
sors mounted in the tire valves to check inflation
pressure levels. When the vehicle is moving at a
will be
speed of approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) or
faster, these sensors transmit inflation pressure
data to a receiver located in the vehicle.
Please keep the following in mind when chang-
ing or replacing the factory installed TPMS
wheels/tires on the vehicle:
•
Not all aftermarket wheels are equipped with
TPMS sensors in the valves.
•
If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary
spare tire, this tire does not have a TPMS
sensor.
•
If wheels without TPMS sensors are moun-
ted on the vehicle, a text message will dis-
played in the instrument panel each time the
vehicle is driven above 20 mph (30 km/h) for
10 minutes or more.
•
Once TPMS sensors are properly installed,
the warning message should not reappear. If
the message is still displayed, drive the vehi-
cle for several minutes at a speed of 20 mph
(30 km/h) or faster to erase the message.
•
Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors be
fitted on all wheels used on the vehicle,
including winter tires. Volvo does not recom-
mend moving sensors back and forth
between sets of wheels.

CAUTION
When inflating tires, press the pump's mouth-
piece straight onto the valve to help avoid
bending or otherwise damaging the valve.
CAUTION
•
After inflating the tires, always reinstall
the valve cap to help avoid damage to the
valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
•
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
