Volvo recommends that sensors are not
moved between different wheels.
Driveable punctured tyres (option)
If the car has Self Supporting run flat Tyres
(SST) then it is also equipped with TPMS.
This type of tyre has a specially reinforced
side wall that makes continued driving possi-
ble despite the tyre losing some air. These
tyres are fitted 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 on the instrument panel il-
luminates and a message is shown in the text
panel. 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 es-
tablish which tyre needs attention, check all
four tyres.
WARNING
When inflating a tyre equipped with TPMS,
hold the nozzle of the pump directly against
the valve to avoid damaging the valve.
WARNING
SST tyres should only be fitted by individu-
als with expertise on SST tyres.
SST tyres must only be fitted together with
TPMS.
After a fault message on low tyre pressure
has been shown, do not drive faster
than 80 km/h.
Maximum driving distance to tyre change
is 80 km.
Avoid hard driving.
SST tyres must be replaced if they are dam-
aged or punctured.
