Before a long distance trip
It is always worthwhile to have your car checked at a Volvo retailer before driving long distances. Your
retailer will also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and wiper blades for your use in the
event that problems occur.
If you prefer to check the car yourself, please note the following:
●
Check that the engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal.
●
Check engine oil, coolant levels, and for possible fuel leakage.
●
Check transmission oil level.
●
Check condition of drive belts.
●
Check state of charge of battery.
●
Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as well), and replace those that are worn. Check tire pressures.
●
The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked by your Volvo retailer only.
●
Check all lights, including high beams.
●
Reflective warning triangles are legal requirement in some countries.
●
Have a word with your Volvo retailer if you intend to drive in countries where it may be difficult to
obtain correct fuel.
●
Consider your destination. If you will be driving through an area where snow or ice are likely to
occur, consider snow tires.
pg. 84 Trailer towing
When preparing for trailer towing, observe the following:
●
Volvo recommends the use of Volvo trailer hitches which are specially designed for the car. For
trailer weights exceeding 2000 lbs (908 kg), use only a trailer hitch offered as a Genuine Volvo
accessory.
NOTE: Models with automatic transmission are equipped with a transmission oil cooler as standard
equipment. This cooler helps prevent overheating of the transmission during times of increased load, as
when towing a trailer.
Maximum trailer weight recommended by Volvo is:
●
Trailers without brakes : 1100 lbs (500kg)
●
Trailers with brakes: 2" (50 mm) ball - 3300 lbs (1500 kg), 1 7/8" (47 mm) ball - 2000 lbs (908 kg).
Observe the legal requirements of the state/province in which the vehicles are registered. All Volvo
models are equipped with energy-absorbing shock-mounted bumpers. Trailer hitch installation should
