Starting and driving
Driving with a trailer
The cars towing bracket must be of an
approved type.
If the towing bracket is fitted by Volvo,
the car is delivered with the necessary
equipment to drive with a trailer. If retro-
fitting, check with your Volvo dealer to
ensure that the car is fully equipped to
drive with a trailer.
Distribute the load in the trailer so that
the weight on the towing bracket is
approximately 50 kg for trailer weights
under 1200 kg and approximately 90 kg
for trailer weights over 1200 kg.
127(The weight on the towing
bracket (50/90 kg) is part of the vehicle's
load capacity.
The load in the cargo compartment may
need to be reduced so that axle load and/
or total weight do not exceed the
maximum limits when driving with a
trailer.
Increase tyre pressure to correspond to
the pressure for full load. See the tyre
pressure table!
Clean the towing bracket regularly and
grease the towball* 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
gone 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 maximum permissible trailer weight
for a trailer without brakes is 750 kg.
Select position P (automatic gear box) or
engage a gear (manual gearbox) when
parking with a trailer and always apply
the parking brake. If you are parking on a
steep incline, place chocks behind the
wheels.
* Does not apply to ball hitch with vibration
damper.
127(The above are the highest trailer
weights permitted by Volvo Car Corporation.
Remember that national traffic regulations may
further limit trailer weight and speed. Towbars
may be certified for higher tow weights than the
car may tow.

tions, the trailer and car may be difficult to
control during evasive manoeuvres and
braking. This could be dangerous to you and
others on the road.
