Steep inclines
• Select an appropriate manual gear posi-
tion when climbing steep inclines or at low
speeds. This prevents the gearbox from
changing up and keeps the gearbox oil
cooler.
• 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 %.

If the car is driven with a major load in a hot
climate, the engine cooling fan can be
replaced with one of a greater capacity than
the standard model. Check with your nearest
Volvo dealer regarding the options for
your car.
