Volvo XC90: Wheels and tires / Saving new reference values for tire inflation pressure monitoring
In order for the tire inflation pressure monitoring system1 to
function correctly, inflation pressure reference values must be saved correctly.
To help ensure that the system can correctly alert the driver of low inflation pressure,
this must be done each time the tires are changed or the inflation pressure is adjusted.
For example, when driving with a heavy load or at high speeds (over 160 km/h
(100 mph)), tire pressure should be adjusted to the Volvorecommended tire pressure
values. The system should then be reset by saving the new inflation pressure.
To store the new inflation pressure as a reference value in the system:
- Switch off the ignition.
- Inflate the tire to the correct inflation pressure; see the tire pressure
placard on the driver's side B pillar for recommended pressures for factory-mounted
tires.
- Start the vehicle.
- Open the Car Status app in App view.
- Tap TPMS.
NOTE
The vehicle must be stationary for the Store Pressure button
to be selectable.
- Tap Store Pressure.
- Tap OK to confirm that the tire pressure in all four tires has been
checked and adjusted.
- Drive the vehicle until the new inflation pressure has been saved. The new
inflation pressure is stored when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 35 km/h
(22 mph). > When enough data has been collected for the system to detect low
inflation pressure, the animation showing the progress of the storing procedure
will disappear from the center display. The system will not provide any further
confirmation that the new inflation pressure has been stored.
If storing cannot be performed, Storing pressure unsuccessful. Try again.
will be displayed.
WARNING
The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless
but very poisonous. The procedure for saving a new inflation pressure must therefore
always be performed outdoors or in a workshop with exhaust gas extraction.
1 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
(Option/accessory.)
The tire inflation pressure monitoring system6 provides an indicator symbol
in the instrument panel if pressure is too low in one or more tires...
With the system for tire inflation pressure monitoring1, inflation
pressure status can be viewed in the center display.
Checking status
The vehicle may need to be driven for a few minutes at a speed above 35 km/h
(22 mph) to activate the system...
