WARNING! The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. One spark, which can be generated if you connect the jump leads incorrectly, is sufficient to make the battery explode. The battery contains sulphuric acid, which can cause serious burns. If the acid comes into contact with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with large quantities of water. If acid splashes into the eyes, seek medical attention immediately. Starting and driving Driving with a trailer The towing bracket on the car must be approved. Your Volvo dealer can advise you as to which towing bracket to use. • Distribute the load on the trailer so that the weight on the towing bracket follows the specified maximum towball load. • Increase tyre pressure so that it corresponds to the pressure for full load. See the tyre pressure table! • Clean the towing bracket regularly and grease the towball1 and all moving parts to prevent unnecessary wear. • Do not drive with a heavy trailer when your car is brand new! Wait until it has driven at least 1000 km. • The brakes are loaded much more than usual on long and steep downhill slopes. Downshift to a lower gear and adjust your speed. • If the car is driven with a heavy load in a hot climate, the engine and gearbox may overheat. The temperature gauge in the combined instrument panel goes into the red zone when the car overheats. Stop and let the engine idle a few minutes. • If the car overheats, the air conditioning system can be temporarily switched off. • The gearbox reacts with a built- in protection function if the car overheats. See the message in the display! • The engine is loaded more heavily than usual when driving with a trailer. • For reasons of safety, you should not drive faster than 80 km/ h, even if the laws of certain countries permit higher speeds. • The highest trailer weight permitted for a trailer without brakes is 750 kg. • If you park with a trailer, always set the gear selector to P (automatic gearbox) or put the car in a gear (manual gearbox). If you park on a steep hill, put chocks under the wheels. • Avoid driving on inclines exceeding 12 % if the trailer weight exceeds 1200 kg. Do not drive with a trailer at all on inclines exceeding 15 %. Trailer weights See page 235 for permitted trailer weights. NOTE! The stated maximum permitted trailer weights are those permitted by Volvo. National vehicle regulations can further limit trailer weights and speeds. Towbars can be certified for higher towing weights than the car can actually tow. WARNING! Follow the stated recommendations for trailer weights. Otherwise, the rig may be difficult to control during evasive manoeuvres and braking. 1. Does not apply to ball hitch with vibration damper. Starting and driving Driving with a trailer Driving with trailer – automatic gearbox • When parking on hills, apply the parking brake before moving the gear selector to P. When starting on a hill, first put the gear selector in drive and then release the parking brake. • Select a low gear in the gearbox when driving on steep inclines or when driving slowly. This prevents the gearbox from upshifting if you have an automatic gearbox. The gearbox oil will be cooler. • If you have a Geartronic gearbox, do not use a higher manual gear than the engine can " handle ". It is not always economical to drive in high gears. NOTE! Some models require an oil cooler for the automatic gearbox when driving with a trailer. Check with your nearest Volvo dealer as to what applies to your car if you have a retrofitted towbar. Levelling If your car is equipped with automatic levelling, the rear suspension always retains the correct ride height regardless of load. When the car is stationary, the rear suspension sinks. This is completely normal. When starting with a load, the level is pumped up after a certain distance. Towing equipment Towbars The towball must be cleaned and greased regularly. If a towball hitch with vibration damper is used, it is not necessary to grease the towball. If the car is equipped with a detachable towbar, the towball mounting instructions must be followed carefully, see page 137. NOTE! Always take off the towball section after use. Keep it in the cargo area. Trailer cable An adapter is required if the car’s towbar has 13 pin electrics and the trailer has 7 pin electrics. Use an adapter cable approved by Volvo. Make sure the cable does not drag on the ground. Starting and driving WARNING! Be sure to attach the trailer’s safety cable to the correct place. WARNING! If the car is fitted with a Volvo detachable towbar: follow the assembly instructions for the towball section carefully. The towball section must be locked with the key before setting off. Check that the indicator window shows green.
