How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light (TPMS) on a Volvo C30

Steps from the 2013 Volvo C30 owner's manual (Clearing the low tire pressure warning on the factory TPMS wheels).

Check the inflation pressure of all four tires with a tire pressure gauge.
Re-inflate the tires to the correct pressure shown on the tire pressure placard or in the table.
If the warning is still showing, drive the vehicle for several minutes at 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster.
The warning text then clears and the tire pressure warning light goes out.

If you switch to tires with a different recommended inflation pressure, an authorized Volvo retailer or workshop must recalibrate the TPMS.
When TPMS sensors are installed, park the vehicle at least 15 minutes with the ignition off, or a TPMS error message will appear.
