Volvo XC60 (2021 year). Manual in english - page 27

It is important that the towing eye is
screwed in securely as far as possible.

To consider before using the towing eyelet

•

In certain conditions, the towing eyelet
may be used to pull the vehicle onto a flat-
bed tow truck. The vehicle's position and
ground clearance determines if this is pos-
sible.

•

If the incline of the tow truck is too steep
or if the ground clearance under the vehi-
cle is insufficient, attempting to pull it up

using the towing eyelet may result in dam-
age.

•

If necessary, lift the vehicle using the tow
truck's lifting device instead of using the
towing eyelet.

WARNING

No person or object should be behind the

tow truck when the vehicle is lifted onto

the bed of the truck.

Towing using a towline (p. 453)

The towing eyelet is only intended for tow-
ing on roads – not for pulling vehicles from
ditches or any similar purpose involving
severe strain. Call a tow truck for profes-
sional assistance.

Removing the towing eyelet

–

Unscrew the towing eyelet after use and
return it to the foam block.

Replace the cover on the bumper.

Recovery

This section refers to transporting the vehicle
with a tow truck or similar vehicle.

Call a professional towing service for assis-
tance.

In certain conditions, the towing eyelet can be
used to pull the vehicle onto a flatbed tow
truck.

For vehicles equipped with leveling con-
trol

: If the vehicle is equipped with pneumatic

suspension, this feature must be turned off
before the vehicle is lifted onto a tow truck.

The vehicle's location and ground clearance
determine if it can be lifted onto a tow truck. If
the incline of the tow truck is too steep or if
the ground clearance under the vehicle is
insufficient, attempting to pull it up may result
in damage. In this case, the vehicle should
only be lifted with the tow truck's lifting equip-
ment.

trol, integrated in the vehicle electrical sys-
tem, that can control up to three different
devices (e.g. garage door opener, alarm sys-
tem, outdoor and indoor lighting) and thereby
replace the remote controls for these.

General

The illustration is generic – the design may vary.

Button 1

Button 2

Programming HomeLink

Follow these instructions to program
HomeLink

, reset all programming, or pro-

gram individual buttons.

Type approval for HomeLink

In some vehicles, the ignition must be on
or in the "accessory position" before
HomeLink

can be programmed or used. It

can be a good idea to put new batteries in
the remote control being replaced by
HomeLink

for faster programming and

better radio signal transmission. The
HomeLink

buttons should be reset before

programming.

WARNING

While HomeLink

is being programmed,

the garage door or gate being programmed

may be activated. Make sure that no one is

near the door or gate during programming.

When programming a garage door opener,

it is advised to park outside of the garage.

1. Point the remote control at the

HomeLink

button to be programmed and

hold it about 2-8 cm (1-3 inches) from the
button. Do not obstruct the HomeLink

indicator light.

Note:

Some remote controls are more

effective at programming HomeLink

from

a distance of about 15-20 cm (6-12
inches). Keep this in mind if you experi-
ence any programming difficulties.

2. Press and hold both the remote control

button and the HomeLink

button to be

programmed.

3. Do not release the buttons until the indica-

tor light has stopped flashing slowly
(about once a second) and either flashes
quickly (about 10 times a second) or
glows steadily.
>

If the indicator light glows steadily:

Indication that programming is com-
plete. Press the programmed button
twice to activate.

If the indicator light flashes quickly:

The device being programmed with
HomeLink

may have a security func-

tion that requires an extra step. Try
pressing the programmed button twice
to see whether the programming
works. Otherwise, continue with the
following steps.

4. Locate the "training" button

on the

receiver for the e.g. garage door opener. It
is usually located near the antenna bracket
on the receiver.

5. Press and release the "training" button

once. Programming must be completed
within 30 seconds after pressing the but-
ton.

6. Press and release the HomeLink

button

to be programmed. Repeat the press/
hold/release sequence a second time. For
some receivers, the sequence may need to
be repeated a third time.
> Programming is now completed and

the garage door, gate, etc. should now
be activated when the programmed
button is pressed.

If you experience any difficulties programming,
please contact HomeLink

at: homelink.com,

or call 1–800–355–3515.

Programming individual buttons

To program an individual HomeLink

button:

1. Press and hold the desired button for

about 20 seconds.

2. When the indicator light on HomeLink

starts flashing slowly, it is possible to pro-
gram as usual.

Note:

If the button you are reprogram-

ming does not program with a new
device, it will return to the previously
saved programming.

Resetting the HomeLink

buttons

It is only possible to reset all HomeLink

but-

tons at once. It is not possible to reset individ-
ual buttons. Individual buttons can only be
reprogrammed.

–

Press and hold the outer buttons (1 and 3)
on HomeLink

for about 10 seconds.

> When the indicator light goes from a

steady glow to flashing, the buttons
have been reset and are ready for
reprogramming.

Using HomeLink

Once HomeLink

is programmed, it can be

used instead of the separate remote controls.

Press and hold the programming button. The
garage door, gate, alarm system, etc. will be
activated (this may take several seconds). If
the button is held down for more than 20 sec-
onds, reprogramming will begin. The indicator
light will glow steadily or flash when the but-
ton has been pressed. The original remote
controls may be used concurrently with
HomeLink

if desired.

When the ignition is switched off,
HomeLink

will be active for at least

7 minutes.

Type approval for HomeLink

HomeLink

cannot be used if the vehicle is

locked and the alarm is armed

from the

outside.

The name and color of the button varies depending on the manufacturer.

WARNING

•

If you use HomeLink

to open a garage

door or gate, be sure no one is near the
gate or door while it is in motion.

•

Do not use HomeLink

with any

garage door opener that lacks safety
stop and reverse features as required
by U.S. federal safety standards (this
includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982). A
garage door that cannot detect an
object - signaling the door to stop and
reverse - does not meet current U.S.
federal safety standards. For more
information, contact HomeLink at: hom

Calibrating the compass

Calibrating the compass

The globe is divided into 15 magnetic zones.
The compass

should be calibrated if the

vehicle is driven from one zone to another.

1. Stop the vehicle in a large, open area away

from steel constructions and high-voltage
power lines.

2. Start the engine and switch off all electri-

cal equipment (climate system, wipers,
etc.) and make sure all doors are closed.

Calibration may fail or not even be initiated
if electrical equipment is not turned off.

3. Hold the button on the bottom of the rear-

view mirror pressed for about 3 seconds
(using e.g. a paper clip). The number of the
current magnetic zone is shown.

Rearview mirror with compass is available as an option only on certain markets and models.

Audio, media and Internet

The audio and media system consists of a
media player and a radio. A cellular phone can
also be connected through Bluetooth to use
hands-free functions or play music in the
vehicle. When the vehicle is connected to the
Internet, it is also possible to use apps to play
media.

Audio and media overview

The functions can be controlled using voice
commands, the steering wheel keypad or the
center display. The number of speakers and
amplifiers varies depending on the audio sys-
tem installed in the vehicle.

System updates

The audio and media system is continuously
improved. It is recommended to download
system updates as soon as they are available.

Sound settings

Sound reproduction quality is preset but can

using the volume control below the center dis-
play or the right-side steering wheel keypad.
This applies, for example, when playing music
or the radio or during phone calls and active
traffic messages.

Sound reproduction

The audio system is precalibrated using digital
signal processing. This calibration takes into
account speakers, amplifiers, passenger com-
partment acoustics, listener position, etc. for
each combination of vehicle model and audio
system. There is also a dynamic calibration
that takes into account the volume control set-
ting and the vehicle's speed.
