How to Determine When Volvo Tire Pressure Calibration is Complete?

[DelLilah]

When the Volvo system detects that the tire pressure is too low, the tires in the central display will change from gray to green. The system does not provide any additional confirmation of calibration completion. Here are some precautions for tire pressure calibration: 1. The vehicle must be stationary to click the calibration button. 2. After clicking calibration, the vehicle must be driven at a speed greater than 35 km/h for a period of time before the new tire pressure can be saved; otherwise, the icon will keep spinning. 3. If a spare tire is used, the tire pressure monitoring system may not function properly due to differences between the tires.

Last time before a long-distance trip with my Volvo XC60, I calibrated the tire pressure mainly by following the center console prompts. First, I confirmed all four tires were inflated to the cold tire pressure standard of 2.5 bar, then located and activated the tire monitoring system calibration option in the vehicle settings. The key was to get the car moving—I drove around the city for about half an hour, maintaining speeds between 40-60 km/h. During this time, I noticed the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard, which was initially lit, suddenly turned off, and the center screen displayed a green check mark with the message 'Tire Pressure Monitoring System Calibration Complete.' The entire process didn’t show any fault codes, and the tire pressure values in the driving data remained stable within the standard range, indicating the system had successfully re-established the baseline. Remember to avoid bumpy roads during calibration, as they might interrupt the learning process.

As a veteran Volvo driver with ten years of experience, I believe the sign of successful tire pressure calibration is when the system becomes completely silent. First, ensure the cold tire pressure fully meets the standard, then select tire pressure calibration in the infotainment system and start driving. The key is to let the vehicle run for at least 20 minutes under different road conditions, during which the system will automatically learn the rotation characteristics. The most obvious indication of success is the disappearance of the yellow warning light on the dashboard, and all tires showing normal green status on the vehicle status interface of the central display. Once, I deliberately tested it by releasing 0.3 bar of air after calibration while driving on the highway, and the alarm was triggered immediately, proving that the monitoring system was indeed working.
