Starting and driving

Driving with a trailer

General

The load capacity is affected by extra acces-

sories mounted on the car, such as a towbar,

the load on the towball (75 kg with trailer

hitched), load carriers and roof box, as well as

the passengers’ combined weight. The load

capacity of the car is reduced by the number

of passengers and their weight.

If the towing bracket is mounted at the Volvo

factory, the car is delivered with the

necessary equipment for driving with a trailer.

• The car’s towing bracket must be of an

approved type.

• If the towbar is retrofitted, check with your

Volvo dealer that the car is fully equipped

for driving with a trailer.

• Distribute the load on the trailer so that

the weight on the towing bracket follows

the specified maximum towball load.

• Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-

mended pressure for a full load. See page

139 for the location of the tyre pressure

label.

• Clean the towbar regularly and grease the

towball1.

• Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car is

brand new. Wait until it has been 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.

• The engine is loaded more heavily than

usual when driving with a trailer.

• The engine and gearbox can overheat if

the car is driven with a heavy load in hot

weather. If the temperature gauge for the

engine’s cooling system goes into the red

zone, stop and let the engine idle for a

few minutes. The gearbox responds

through a built-in protection system. See

the message on the information display. If

the car overheats, the air conditioning

may be switched off temporarily.

• In the interests of safety, speed should be

restricted to 80 km/h, even if the laws of

certain countries allow for higher speeds.

• The gear selector should be in the parking

position P when a car with an automatic

gearbox and attached trailer are parked.

Always use the parking brake.

• Place chocks under the wheels to prevent

the car from rolling when parked on a hill

with trailer attached. The gear selector

should be in the parking position P when

a car with an automatic gea rbox and

attached trailer are parked. Always use

the parking brake.

Trailer weights

See page 211 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.

1. Does not apply to the towball if using

a stabiliser hitch.

WARNING!

Follow the stated recommendations for

trailer weights. Otherwise, the rig may be

difficult to control during evasive

manoeuvres and braking.
