Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – recalibrating
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) uses a reference value in order to determine if tire pressure is too low.
Recalibrating TPMS (Canadian models only)*
In certain cases, it may be necessary to recalibrate TPMS to conform to Volvo's recommended tire inflation pressures (see the tire inflation decal on the driver's door opening), for example, if higher inflation pressure is necessary when transporting heavy loads.
Always inflate the tires to Volvo's recommended tire pressure before recalibrating TPMS.
Recalibrating TPMS is done in the vehicle's menu system.
To do so:
Switch off the engine.
Inflate the tires to the desired pressure and put the ignition in mode I or II (see Ignition modes for additional information).
Press the MY CAR key in the center console control panel and select .
Press OK/MENU, select Calibrate tire pressure and press OK/MENU again.
Drive the vehicle at a speed above 20 mph (30 km/h) continuously for at least 10 minutes.
Calibration is done automatically once initiated by the driver and the system does not provide confirmation when calibration is completed.
After adjusting inflation pressure, repeat steps 1-5 above.
