height irrespective of the car's load (up to the
maximum permissible weight). When the car

Trailer weights
For information on Volvo's permitted trailer

may be certified for higher or lower towing
weights than the car can actually tow.
WARNING

trailer weights. Otherwise, the car and
trailer may be difficult to control in the
event of sudden movement and braking.
