GLL157220Courtesy of VOLVO CARS CORPORATION

The tire pressure sensors are installed together with the air valve on the rim. The sensor consists of a pressure sensor, a communication circuit, an acceleration sensor and a battery.

NOTE:

Special procedures are required for removing the tire from the rim depending on vehicle model and tire type. This is to prevent damaging the sensor. See the appropriate removal/replacement and installation information.

For more information, see appropriate Design and Function information for the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
