Towing a trailer
When towing a trailer, always observe the
legal requirements of the state/province.
NOTE
For the maximum trailer and tongue
weights recommended by Volvo, see
Weights (p. 372).
•
All Volvo models are equipped with
energy-absorbing shock-mounted bump-
ers. Trailer hitch installation should not
interfere with the proper operation of this
bumper system.
Trailer towing does not normally present any
particular problems, but take into considera-
tion:
•
Increase tire pressure to recommended
full pressure, see Tire inflation – pressure
table (p. 300).
•
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 cool-
ant 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
overheat, a message will be displayed in
the text window.
•
Avoid overload and other abusive opera-
tion.
•
Hauling a trailer affects handling, durabil-
ity, and economy.
•
It is necessary to balance trailer brakes
with the towing vehicle brakes to provide
a safe stop (check and observe state/
local regulations).
•
Do not connect the trailer's brake system
directly to the vehicle's brake system.
•
More frequent vehicle maintenance is
required.
•
Remove the ball holder when the hitch is
not being used.
NOTE
•
When parking the vehicle with a trailer
on a hill, apply the parking brake
before putting the gear selector in
P
.
Always follow the trailer manufactur-
er's recommendations for wheel
chocking.
•
When starting on a hill, put the gear
selector in
D
before releasing the park-
ing brake.
•
If you use the manual (Geartronic) shift
positions while towing a trailer, make
sure the gear you select does not put
too much strain on the engine (using
too high a gear).
•
The drawbar assembly/trailer hitch
may be rated for trailers heavier than
the vehicle is designed to tow. Please
adhere to Volvo's recommended trailer
weights.
•
Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines
of more than 15%.
