Volvo XC90, XC60 & XC40 Tire Pressure Specs
Checking and maintaining your Volvo tire pressure is critical to keeping your vehicle healthy and your drive safe. Most drivers want to take good care of their cars, especially when they own luxurious, reliable models like the Volvo XC90, XC60, and XC40, but are unsure how to begin. If you need help finding and understanding your Volvo tire pressure specs, you're in the right place!
Volvo Tire Pressure 101: Everything You Need to Know
The first step to maintaining proper Volvo tire pressure is finding the correct recommendations. While some automakers may require drivers to thumb through long owner's manuals with minuscule fonts, Volvo Cars makes finding your vehicle's recommended tire pressure simple. You can find the tire inflation placard on your car or easily check your Volvo tire pressure status in the center display.
You can find the tire inflation placard on the driver's side B pillar between the front and rear doors. This placard lists tire pressures for different loads and speed conditions. Find the Car Status app in the center display to check your tire pressure while inside your car. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System will provide a lit-up warning sign on the display if tire pressure is too low. You may need to drive your car above 22 mph for a few minutes to activate the system and give you an accurate reading.
The second step in maintaining proper tire pressure in your Volvo vehicle is adjusting it. Tire pressure naturally decreases over time, and air must be added to maintain the correct pressure. Simply remove the valve cap from your tire and press your air pressure gauge firmly into the valve. After you inflate your tire to the proper pressure, replace the valve cap and visually check your tire for any nails, punctures, bulges, or other damage. Make sure to check your tire pressure when your tires are cold to get the correct measurements.
The final step in maintaining your tire pressure is performing a Volvo tire pressure reset. This process allows your vehicle's Tire Pressure Monitoring System to recalibrate after reinflation. After you've started your vehicle, tap "Car Status" within the center display, tap "Store Pressure," adjust the inflation pressure to the recommended value, and then select "Confirm" for your vehicle to save the inflation pressure. Using this Volvo reset, tire pressure warning light shouldn't be a worry and should turn off, and the system will recalibrate the next time you drive.
Now let's examine the specific tire pressure recommendations for three vehicles: the Volvo XC90, the Volvo XC60, and the Volvo XC40. The following recommendations are based on cold tire pressure and apply to standard and available Volvo tire dimensions.
