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 corre-
sponds to the pressure for full load. See
the tyre pressure table!
Clean the towing bracket regularly and
grease the towball
1
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.
1. Does not apply to ball hitch with
vibration damper.
WARNING!
Follow the stated recommendations for
trailer weights. Otherwise, the rig may be
difficult to control during evasive
manoeuvres and braking.
