Driving with a trailer

When driving with a trailer, there are a num-
ber of points that are important to think about
regarding the towbar, the trailer and how the
load is positioned in the trailer.

Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The
total of the weight of the passengers and all
accessories, e.g. towbar, reduces the car's
payload by a corresponding weight.

The car is supplied with the necessary equip-
ment for towing a trailer.

•

The car's towbar must be of an approved
type.

•

Distribute the load on the trailer so that
the weight on the towbar complies with
the specified maximum towball load. Tow-
ball load is calculated as part of the car's
payload.

•

Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-
mended pressure for a full load.

•

The engine is loaded more heavily than
usual when driving with a trailer.

•

Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car is
brand new. Wait until it has been driven at
least 1000 km (620 miles).

•

The brakes are loaded much more than
usual on long and steep downhill slopes.
Downshift to a lower gear when shifting
manually and adjust your speed.

•

Follow the regulations in force for the per-
mitted speeds and weights.

•

Maintain a low speed when driving with a
trailer up long, steep ascents.

•

The maximum indicated trailer weight only
applies to heights up to 1000 metres
above sea level (3280 ft). At higher eleva-
tions, the engine output and the vehicle's
climbing ability are reduced due to the
reduced air density, and the maximum
trailer load must therefore be reduced. The
weight of the car and trailer must be
decreased by 10% for each additional
1000 m (3280 ft) or part thereof.

•

Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of
more than 12%.

NOTE

Extreme weather conditions, driving with a
trailer or driving at high altitudes, in combi-
nation with poorer fuel quality than recom-
mended, are factors that considerably
increase the car's fuel consumption.

Trailer connector

An adapter is required if the car's towbar has a
13 pin connector and the trailer has a 7 pin
connector. Use an adapter approved by Volvo.
Make sure the cable does not drag on the
ground.

STARTING AND DRIVING

* Option/accessory.

498

IMPORTANT

When the engine is switched off, the con-
stant battery voltage to the trailer connec-
tor can be switched off automatically so as
not to drain the starter battery.

Trailer weights

WARNING

Follow the stated recommendations for

trailer weights. Otherwise, the car and

trailer may be difficult to control in the

event of sudden movement and braking.

NOTE

The stated maximum permitted trailer
weights are those permitted by Volvo.
National vehicle regulations can further
limit trailer weights and speeds. Towbars
can be certified for higher towing weights
than the car can actually tow.

Level control

*

The car's system for level control endeavours
to maintain a constant height regardless of
load (up to the maximum permissible weight).
When the car is stationary the rear of the car
lowers slightly, which is normal.

When driving in hilly terrain and hot
climates

Under certain circumstances, there may be a
risk of overheating when towing a trailer. If the
engine and drive system overheats, a warning
symbol comes on in the driver display and a
message is displayed.

The automatic gearbox adapts the gears
depending on load and engine speed.

Steep inclines

Do not lock the automatic gearbox in a higher
gear than the engine "can cope with" - it is not
always a good idea to drive at a high gear with
low engine speed.

Parking on a hill

1. Depress the brake pedal fully.

2. Activate the parking brake.

3. Select gear position

Trailer stability assist

*

The function of trailer stability assist (TSA

12

),

which is included in the stability system
ESC

13

, is to stabilise cars towing trailers in

situations where they begin snaking. The
function is available with towbar installation,
contact a Volvo dealer for more information.

Reasons for snaking

The snaking phenomenon can occur with any
car/trailer combination. Snaking normally
occurs at high speeds. However, there is a risk
of it occurring at lower speeds if the trailer is
overloaded or the load is improperly distrib-
uted, e.g. too far back.

In order for snaking to occur, there must be a
triggering factor, e.g.:

•

Car with trailer subjected to a sudden and
powerful side wind.

•

Car with trailer drives on an uneven road
surface or in a pothole.

•

Sweeping steering wheel movements.

If snaking has started, it could be difficult or
even impossible to suppress. This makes the
car/trailer combination difficult to control and
there is a risk that you could, for example, end
up in the wrong lane or leave the carriageway.

Trailer stability assist function

The trailer stability assist function continually
monitors the car's movements, particularly lat-
eral movements. If snaking is detected, the
front wheels are individually braked. This
serves to stabilise the car/trailer combination.
This is often enough to help the driver regain
control of the car.

If snaking is not eliminated the first time that
trailer stability assist intervenes, the car/trailer
combination is braked with all wheels and
engine power is reduced. Once snaking has
been gradually suppressed and the car/trailer
combination is stable once again, the system
stops regulating and the driver once again has
full control of the car.

NOTE

The stability function is deactivated if the
driver chooses to activate 

ESC Sport

Mode

 via the menu system in the centre

display.

Trailer stability assist may fail to intervene if
the driver uses severe steering wheel move-
ments to try to rectify the snaking because in
such a situation the system cannot determine
whether it is the trailer or the driver causing
the snaking.

When Trailer Stability Assist
(TSA) is operating, the ESC
symbol flashes in the driver
display.

NOTE

Retrofitting a towbar requires an update of
the car's software, contact a Volvo dealer.

Rear fog lamp on trailer

When connecting the trailer, the rear fog lamp
may not light up on the car. In such cases, the
rear fog lamp function switches to the trailer.
Upon activation of the rear fog lamp, check

therefore that the trailer is equipped with a
rear fog lamp to travel safely.

Checking trailer lamps

*

Automatic checking

After a trailer is connected electrically, it is
possible to check that the trailer lamps are
working via an automatic lamp activation. The
function helps the driver check that the trailer
lamps are working before starting off.

Towbar-mounted bicycle rack

*

When using a bicycle rack, the bicycle racks
that Volvo has developed are recommended.

This is in order to avoid damage to the car and
in order to achieve the maximum possible
safety during a journey. Volvo's bicycle racks
are available for purchase at authorised Volvo
dealers.

Carefully follow the instructions enclosed with
the bicycle rack.

•

Bicycle rack including load must weigh a
maximum of 75 kg (165 pounds).

•

The bicycle rack may be designed for a
maximum of three bicycles.

WARNING

Incorrect use of the bicycle rack may cause

damage to the towbar and car.
The bicycle rack can loosen from the tow-

bar if it

•

is incorrectly fitted on the towball

•

is overloaded, see the bicycle rack's
instructions for maximum load weight

•

is used for carrying something other
than bicycles.

The car's driving characteristics are affected
when a bicycle rack is fitted on the towbar.
For example due to:

•

increased weight

•

reduced acceleration capacity

•

reduced ground clearance

•

changed braking capacity.

Recommendations for loading
bicycles on the bicycle rack

The larger the distance between the load's
centre of gravity and the towball, the greater
the load on the towbar.

Load according to the following recommenda-
tions:

•

Fit the heaviest bicycle furthest in, closest
to the car.

•

Keep the load symmetrical and as close to
the centre of the car as possible e.g. by
loading the bicycles facing alternately if
several bicycles are loaded.

•

Remove loose objects from the bicycle for
transportation, e.g. bicycle basket, battery,
child seat. Partly to reduce the load on the
towbar and bicycle rack, and partly to
reduce the wind resistance, which affects
fuel consumption.

•

Do not use protective covers on the bicy-
cles. This may affect manoeuvrability,
impair visibility and increase fuel con-

sumption. It may also lead to an increased
load on the towbar.

Towing

During towing, the car is towed by another
vehicle by means of a towline.

Towing the car is not permitted as this will
damage the electric motor. Instead, the car
must be transported raised with all the wheels
on a recovery vehicle's platform, neither of the
wheel pairs may have road contact.

When towing another car

Towing a car requires a lot of energy - use the

Constant AWD

 drive mode. This then

charges the hybrid battery, in combination
with improving the car's driving characteristics
and roadholding.

Find out the statutory maximum speed limit
for towing before the towing begins.

Jump starting

Tow-starting the motor is not permitted as
this will damage the electric motor. Use a
donor battery if the starter battery is dis-
charged and the engine does not start.

IMPORTANT

The electric drive motor and the catalytic
converter may be damaged during
attempts to tow-start the car.

Fitting and removing the towing

eye

Use the towing eye if the car shall tow
another vehicle. The towing eye is screwed
into a threaded socket behind a cover on the
right-hand side of the rear bumper.

NOTE

If the car is equipped with a towbar, there
is no rear mounting for a towing eye.

Fitting the towing eye

Take out the towing eye from the foam
block under the floor in the cargo area

3. Screw in the towing eye until it reaches its

end stop.

Screw the eye in firmly. For example,
thread through the wheel bolt wrench

*

 and

use it as a lever.

IMPORTANT

It is important that the towing eye is firmly
screwed into place - right in until it stops.

Removing the towing eye

–

Unscrew and remove the towing eye after
use and return it to its foam block.

Finish by refitting the cover onto the
bumper.

For recovery, the car is taken away with the
help of another vehicle.

Call a recovery service for recovery assistance.

The towing eye can be used to pull the car up
onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed plat-
form.

IMPORTANT

Note that the car must always be transpor-
ted raised up with all the wheels on the
recovery vehicle's platform.

Applies to cars with level control

The car's position and ground clearance deter-
mine whether it is possible to pull it up onto a
flatbed platform. If the slope of the recovery
vehicle's ramp is too steep, or if the ground
clearance under the car is inadequate, then
the car may be damaged if you try to pull it up.
The car should then be lifted using the recov-
ery vehicle's lifting device.
