1. Check the tyre pressure in all tyres with a
tyre pressure gauge.
2. Inflate the tyre/tyres to the correct pres-
sure in accordance with the tyre pressure
label on the driver's side door pillar
(between front and rear doors).
3. Recalibrate the TM system.
NOTE
To avoid incorrect tyre pressure, the pres-
sure should be checked on cold tyres.
"Cold tyres" means the tyres are the same
temperature as the ambient temperature
(approx. 3 hours after the car has been
driven). After a few kilometres of driving,
the tyres warm up and the pressure
increases.
WARNING
•
Incorrect tyre pressure may lead to
tyre failure, which could result in the
driver losing control of the car.
•
The system cannot indicate sudden
tyre damage in advance.
Emergency puncture repair*
The emergency puncture repair kit,
Temporary Mobility Kit (TMK), is used to seal
a puncture and check and adjust the tyre
pressure (p. 430).
The emergency puncture repair kit (p. 343)
consists of a compressor and a bottle of seal-
ant. The sealing works as a temporary repair.
The sealing fluid bottle must be replaced
before its expiration date and after use. The
sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punctured
in the tread.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture
in the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
capacity to seal tyres which have punctures
in the wall. Do not seal tyres with the emer-
gency puncture repair kit if they have larger
slits, cracks or similar damage. Connect the
compressor to one of the car's 12 V sockets.
Choose the socket that is nearest to the
punctured tyre.
IMPORTANT
If the compressor is connected to one of
the two 12 V sockets, in the tunnel con-
sole, no other current consumer must be
connected to the other one.
NOTE
The compressor for temporary emergency
puncture repair has been tested and
approved by Volvo.
