malfunction telltale is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of
incompatible replacement tires on the vehicle. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement tires are compatible with the
TPMS.
NOTE: TPMS indicates low tire pressure but does not replace normal tire maintenance. For information
on correct tire pressure, please refer to the table on
page 122, or consult your Volvo retailer.
Erasing warning messages
When a low tire pressure warning message has been displayed, and the tire pressure warning light has
come on:
1. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the inflation pressure of all four tires.
2. Re-inflate the tire(s) to the correct pressure (consult the tire pressure placard or the table on page 122).
3. Drive the car for several minutes at a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster.
This will erase the warning text and the warning light will go out.
WARNING!
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in a loss of control of the
vehicle.

Changing tires
Please note the following when changing or replacing the factory installed TPMS wheels/ tires on the
vehicle:
● Only the factory-mounted 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 winter wheels without TPMS sensors are mounted on the vehicle, TIRE PRESS SYST SERVICE
REQUIRED will be displayed each time the vehicle is driven above 25 mph (40 km/h) for 10 minutes or
more.
● Once TPMS sensors are properly installed, the warning message should not reappear.
● Volvo recommends that TPMS sensors be fitted on all wheels used on the vehicle. Volvo does not
recommend moving sensors back and forth between sets of wheels.
