Checking and correcting tire pressure
●
Refer to the tire pressure label located on the inside of the fuel filler door. The tire pressures shown on
the top line of the label will provide best fuel economy. The tire pressures shown on the second line will
provide a softer ride, but may reduce fuel economy.
●
Check the tire pressure when refueling.
●
The tire pressure should be corrected only when the tires are cold.
●
With warm tires, correct only when the pressure is too low. The tire temperature rises after driving
just a few miles.
Vehicle loading
The tires on your Volvo will perform to specifications at all normal loads when inflated as
recommended on the tire information label located on the inside of the fuel filler door*. This label also
lists vehicle load limits. Do not load your car beyond the indicated limits.
*Please note that the tire information label indicates pressure for both comfort and fuel economy.

Tire rotation
Volvo recommends rotating the tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) and 15,000 miles(24,000 km). Tires
should be rotated front-to-back/back-to-front only. Tires must maintain the same direction of rotation
throughout their lifetime, and should never be rotated from one side of the vehicle to the other.
