Driving with a trailer

General

If the towing bracket is mounted by Volvo,

then 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 complies

with the specified maximum towball load.

• Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-

mended pressure for a full load. For tyre

pressure label location, see page 214.

• Clean the towing bracket regularly and

grease the towball.

• 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.

• If the car is driven with a heavy load in a

hot climate, the engine may overheat. If

the temperature in the engine’s cooling

system is too high the warning symbol is

illuminated and the information display

shows High engine temp Stop safely.

Stop the car in a safe way and allow the

engine to run at idling speed for several

minutes and cool down.

If High engine temp Stop engine or Cool-

ant level low, Stop engine then the engine

must be switched off after stopping the

car.

• The automatic gearbox has a built-in pro-

tection system that engages in the event

of overheating. If the temperature in the

gearbox is too high then the warning sym-

bol illuminates and the information display

shows Transmission hot Reduce speed

or Transmission hot Stop safely.

Follow the instructions and reduce speed

or stop the car in a safe way and allow the

engine to run at idling speed for several

minutes to enable the gearbox to cool

down.

In the event of overheating the car’s air

conditioning may be temporarily switched

off.

• In the interests of safety, you should

restrict speed to 80 km/h, even if the laws

of certain countries allow for higher

speeds.

• Move the gear selector to position P when

parking an automatic car with a hitched

trailer. Always use the parking brake.

Block the wheels with chocks when park-

ing a car with hitched trailer on a hill.

Trailer cable

An adapter is required if the car’s towing

bracket 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.

Direction indicators on trailer

A symbol in the combined instrument panel

flashes when the direction indicators are

used and the trailer is connected. If the sym-

bol flashes more quickly then one of the

lamps on the car or the trailer is broken, see

page 61.

Automatic gearbox

Parking on a hill

1. Activate the parking brake.

2. Move the gear selector to position P.

Starting on a hill

1. Move the gear selector to position D.

2. Release the parking brake.

Steep gradients

• Do not use a higher manual gear than the

engine can "handle". It is not always eco-

nomical to drive in high gears.

• Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of

more than 15%.
