Driving with trailer – automatic
gearbox
• When parking on hills, apply the parking
brake before moving the gear selector
to
P
. When starting on a hill, first put the
gear selector in drive and then release the
parking brake.
• Select a low gear in the gearbox when
driving on steep inclines or when driving
slowly. This prevents the gearbox from
upshifting if you have an automatic gear-
box. The gearbox oil will be cooler.
• If you have a Geartronic gearbox, do not
use a higher manual gear than the engine
can "handle". It is not always economical
to drive in high gears.
Levelling
If your car is equipped with automatic level-
ling, the rear suspension always retains the
correct ride height regardless of load. When
the car is stationary, the rear suspension
sinks. This is completely normal. When start-
ing with a load, the level is pumped up after a
certain distance.
NOTE
Some models require an oil cooler for the
automatic gearbox when driving with a trail-
er. Check with your nearest Volvo dealer as
to what applies to your car if you have a ret-
rofitted towbar.
