STARTING AND DRIVING
402
An energy-saving mode activates after a short
time and the indicator light will go out. Reacti-
vate the folding towbar function by closing
and then reopening the tailgate.
If the vehicle's electrical system has detected
an attached trailer, the indicator light will no
longer glow steadily.
Retracting the towbar
Be sure that no trailer wiring connector or
adapter is connected to the towbar's electri-
cal socket before retracting it.
1. Open the tailgate. Press the button for fold-
ing the towbar in/out on the right rear side of
the cargo compartment.
> The towbar will automatically fold down to
the unlocked position. The indicator light
in the button will flash orange.
WARNING
Never press the operating button if anything
is attached to the towbar.
2. Fix the towbar in the retracted position by
pushing it up under the bumper, where it will
lock in place.
> The indicator light in the button will glow
steadily orange if the towbar is correctly
locked in the retracted position.

Driving with a trailer
When towing a trailer, always observe the legal
requirements of the state/province.

All Volvo models are equipped with energy-
absorbing shock-mounted bumpers. Trailer
hitch installation should not interfere with the
proper operation of this bumper system.
Trailer towing does not normally present any par-
ticular problems, but take into consideration:
•
Increase tire pressure to recommended full
pressure.
•
When your vehicle is new, avoid towing heavy
trailers during the first 620 miles (1,000 km).
•
Maximum speed when towing a trailer:
50 mph (80 km/h).
•
Engine and transmission are subject to
increased loads. Therefore, engine coolant
temperature should be closely watched when
driving in hot climates or hilly terrain. Use a
lower gear and turn off the air conditioner if
the temperature gauge needle enters the red
range.
•
If the automatic transmission begins to over-
heat, a message will be displayed in the text
window.
•
Avoid overload and other abusive operation.
•
Hauling a trailer affects handling, durability,
and economy.
