Jump starting using another battery
If the start battery is discharged, current from
another battery can be used to start the vehicle.
Jumper cable connecting points.
To avoid short circuits or other damage, the fol-
lowing steps are recommended when jump star-
ting the battery using another battery:
1. Put the ignition in mode 0.
2. Make sure the auxiliary battery (the battery
used to jump start the discharged battery)
has a voltage of 12 volts.
3. If the auxiliary battery is in another vehicle,
turn off that vehicle's engine and make sure
that the vehicles are not touching each other.
4. Clamp the red jumper cable onto the auxiliary
battery's positive (+) terminal (1).
Connect the jump cable carefully to prevent
short circuits with other components in the
engine compartment.
5. Fold back the cover over your vehicle's posi-
tive (+) jump start terminal (2).
6. Clamp the other end of the red jumper cable
to your vehicle's positive (+) jump start termi-
nal (2).
7. Clamp the black jumper cable onto the auxili-
ary battery's negative (-) terminal (3).
8. Clamp the other end of the black jumper
cable to your vehicle's negative (-) ground
point (4).
9. Make sure the jumper cables are securely
attached to help prevent sparks while jump
starting.
10. Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and
let it run for a few minutes at a higher idling
speed than normal, about 1500 rpm.
11. Start the engine of the vehicle with the dead
battery.
Do not touch the connections between the
cable and the vehicle during the start attempt.
Risk of sparking.
12. Remove the jumper cables in the reverse
order
‒ first the black cables and then the
red cables.
Make sure that none of the clamps of the
black jumper cables come into contact with
either vehicle's positive (+) jump start termi-
nals or either of the red jumper cable's con-
nected clamps.

Towing capacity and tongue weight (p. 598)
Driving with a trailer
There are a number of things to consider when
towing a trailer, such as the towbar, the trailer
and how the load is distributed in the trailer.
Load-carrying capacity is determined by the vehi-
cle's curb weight. The total weight of all passen-
gers and any installed accessories, e.g. towbar,
reduces the vehicle's load-carrying capacity by
the corresponding amount.
•
Towbars used on the vehicle must be
approved for the applicable use.
•
Distribute the load on the trailer so that the
weight on the towbar complies with the
specified maximum towball weight. The
tongue weight is calculated as part of the
vehicle's payload.
•
Increase the tire pressure to the recom-
mended pressure for a full load.
•
The engine is subjected to more load than
usual when towing a trailer.
•
Towing a trailer affects the vehicle's han-
dling, durability and driving economy.
•
Do not drive with a heavy trailer when the
vehicle is very new. Wait until the mileage
has reached at least 1000 km (620 miles).
•
On long and steep downgrades, the vehicle's
brakes are subjected to much more load
than usual. When manually shifting, down-
shift and adapt speed accordingly.
•
Follow applicable regulations regarding per-
mitted speed and weight.
•
Drive slowly when towing a trailer up a long
and steep incline.
•
The maximum trailer weights given only apply
to altitudes up to 1000 meters (3280 feet)
above sea level. At higher altitudes, engine
power (and thus the vehicle's climbing ability)
is decreased due to the reduced air density,
and the maximum trailer weight must there-
fore be reduced. The weight of the vehicle
and trailer must be decreased by 10% for
each additional 1000 m (3280 feet) or part
thereof.
•
Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of more
than 12%.
•
Avoid overloading and other incorrect use.
•
The trailer's brakes must be balanced with
the vehicle's brakes to help ensure safe
stops (follow applicable local regulations).
STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
415
•
Bumper-attached trailer hitches must not
be used on Volvos, nor should safety
chains be attached to the bumper.
•
Trailer hitches attaching to the vehicle
rear axle must not be used.
•
Never connect a trailer's hydraulic brake
system directly to the vehicle brake sys-
tem, nor a trailer's lighting system directly
to the vehicle lighting system. Consult
your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for
correct installation.
•
When towing a trailer, the trailer's safety
chains or wire must be correctly fastened
to the attachment points provided in the
trailer hitch on the vehicle. The safety
chain or wire must never be fastened to
or wound around the towing ball.
The optional detachable trailer hitch may not
be available in all markets or on all models.
Consult your Volvo retailer.
Extreme weather conditions, towing a trailer,
driving at high altitudes and fuel quality are
factors that significantly increase a vehicle's
fuel consumption.
Trailer weights
WARNING
Please adhere to the recommendations provi-
ded for trailer weight. If the recommendations
are not followed, the vehicle and trailer may
be difficult to control during evasive maneu-
vers and braking.
The specified maximum trailer weights are
those permitted by Volvo. National vehicle
regulations may set additional restrictions on
trailer weight and speed. The trailer hitches
may be certified for higher towing weights
than the vehicle is permitted to tow.
Self-leveling suspension
*
The vehicle's self-leveling system attempts to
keep the vehicle at a constant level, regardless of
load (up to the maximum permitted weight).
When the vehicle is stationary, the rear end of the
vehicle will be slightly lowered, which is normal.
Driving in hilly terrain or hot weather
In certain conditions, there is a risk of overheat-
ing when driving with a trailer. If overheating of
the engine and drive system is detected, a warn-
ing symbol will illuminate in the instrument panel
along with a message.
The automatic transmission selects the optimal
gear for the current load and engine speed.
Steep inclines
Do not lock the automatic transmission into a
higher gear than what the engine can handle
‒ it
is not always preferable to drive in high gears at
low rpm.
Parking on a hill
1. Depress the brake pedal.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Put the gear selector in P.
4. Release the brake pedal.
Put chocks behind the wheels when the vehicle
is parked on a hill with a trailer attached.
Starting on a hill
1. Depress the brake pedal.
2. Put the gear selector in D.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Release the brake pedal and start driving.

Trailer Stability Assist
*
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA
8
) is a function
designed to help stabilize a vehicle that is tow-
ing a trailer when the vehicle and trailer have
begun to sway. The function is part of the Elec-
tronic Stability Control system ESC
9
.
Reasons for swaying
A vehicle towing a trailer may begin to sway for
various reasons. Normally this only occurs at high
speeds. However, if the trailer is overloaded or
unevenly distributed, e.g. too far back, there is a
risk of swaying even at low speeds.
Swaying may be caused by factors such as:
•
The vehicle and trailer are hit by a sudden,
strong crosswind.
•
The vehicle and trailer are traveling on an
uneven road or over a bump.
•
Sudden movements of the steering wheel.
Once swaying has begun, it can be difficult or
impossible to stop it. This makes the vehicle and
trailer difficult to control and there is a risk of
swerving into oncoming traffic or driving off the
road.
Trailer Stability Assist function
Trailer Stability Assist continuously monitors the
vehicle's movements, particularly lateral move-
ments. If swaying is detected, the brakes are
applied individually on the front wheels, which has
a stabilizing effect on the vehicle and trailer. This
is often enough to enable the driver to regain
control of the vehicle.
If the Trailer Stability Assist function's first
attempt is not adequate to stop the swaying
motion, the brakes are applied on all wheels and
engine power is temporarily reduced. As the
swaying motion begins to decrease and the vehi-
cle and trailer have once again become stable,
TSA stops regulating the brakes/engine power
and the driver regains control of the vehicle.
Trailer Stability Assist is deactivated if the
driver selects the sport mode by deactivating
ESC
in the center display's menu system.
Trailer Stability Assist may not intervene if the
driver tries to compensate for the swaying motion
by moving the steering wheel rapidly, because
the system will then not be able to determine if it
is the trailer or the driver causing the swaying.
When Trailer Stability Assist is
activated, the ESC symbol is
displayed in the instrument
panel.

When a trailer is connected, the vehicle's rear fog
light may not illuminate and rear fog light func-
tionality is instead transferred to the trailer. If this
is the case, check to see if the trailer is equipped
with a rear fog light before activating the vehicle's
fog lights when driving with a trailer to help
ensure safe operation.
Checking trailer lights
*
Automatic check
When the trailer has been connected to the vehi-
cle's electrical system, its lights can be checked
by automatically activating them. This function
helps the driver check that the trailer's lights are
functioning correctly before starting to drive.

Towing using a towline
This section refers to one vehicle being towed
behind another using a towline.
Before towing another vehicle, check applicable
speed limit regulations.
Preparations and towing
Note that the vehicle must always be towed
with the wheels rolling forward.
•
Do not tow a vehicle with automatic
transmission at a speed greater than
80 km/h (50 mph) or for a distance
greater than 80 km (50 miles).
WARNING
•
Ignition mode II must be active – all air-
bags are deactivated in ignition mode I.
•
Always have the remote key in the vehicle
when it is towed.
WARNING
The brake and steering servos do not work
when the engine is off – it takes
about 5 times more pressure on the brake
pedal and steering requires much more effort
than normal.
1. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
2. Attach the towline to the towing eyelet.
3. Put the vehicle in ignition mode II – without
pressing the brake pedal, press and hold the
start button for about 4 seconds. Release
the button.
4. Move the gear selector to neutral (N) and
release the parking brake.
If the battery charge level is too low, it may
not be possible to release the parking brake.
Connect an auxiliary battery to the vehicle if
the battery is discharged.
> The towing vehicle can now start driving.
5. Keep the towline taut when the towing vehi-
cle slows down by applying light pressure to
the brake pedal. This will help avoid jarring
movements.
6. Be prepared to apply the brakes to stop the
vehicle.
Jump starting
Do not tow the vehicle to start the engine. Use an
auxiliary battery if the start battery's charge level
is so low that the engine cannot be started.
Attempting to tow with the engine running
could result in damage to the three-way cata-
lytic converter.

4. Screw in the towing eyelet until it reaches its
stop. Fasten the eyelet securing by, for exam-
ple, inserting a lug wrench
* through it and
using this as a lever.
It is important that the towing eye is screwed
in securely as far as possible.
Removing the towing eyelet:
–
After use, unscrew the towing eyelet and
return it to its storage location.
Replace the cover on the bumper.
In certain conditions, the towing eyelet may be
used to pull the vehicle onto a flatbed tow truck.
The vehicle's position and ground clearance
determines if this is possible.
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 using the towing eyelet
may result in damage.
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.
The towing eyelet is only intended for towing
on roads, and must not be used to pull vehi-
cles from ditches or any similar purpose
involving severe strain. Call a tow truck for
professional assistance.

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 com-
mands, the steering wheel keypad or the center
display. The number of speakers and amplifiers
varies depending on the audio system installed in
the vehicle.
System updates
The audio and media system is continuously
improved. When the vehicle has an Internet con-
nection, system updates can be downloaded for
optimal functionality; see support.volvocars.com.

Sound settings
The audio system is precalibrated for optimal
sound reproduction but these settings can be
personalized.
The system's volume is normally adjusted using
the volume control below the center display or
the right-side steering wheel keypad. This
applies, for example, when playing music or the
radio or during phone calls and active traffic mes-
sages.
Optimal sound reproduction
The audio system is precalibrated for optimal
sound reproduction using digital signal process-
ing. This calibration takes into account speakers,
amplifiers, passenger compartment acoustics, lis-
tener position, etc. for each combination of vehi-
cle model and audio system. There is also a
dynamic calibration that takes into account the
volume control setting and the vehicle's speed.
