•
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
vehicle's curb weight. The total weight of all
passengers 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 vehi-
cle's brakes are subjected to much more
load than usual. When manually shifting,
downshift and adapt speed accordingly.
•
Follow applicable regulations regarding
permitted 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 alti-
tudes, engine power (and thus the vehi-
cle's climbing ability) is decreased due to
the reduced air density, and the maximum
trailer weight must therefore 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).

•
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 system, nor a trailer's lighting
system directly to the vehicle lighting
system. Consult your nearest author-
ized Volvo retailer for correct installa-
tion.
•
When towing a trailer, the trailer's
safety chains or wire must be correctly
fastened to the attachment points pro-
vided in the trailer hitch on the vehicle.
The safety chain or wire must never be
fastened to or wound around the tow-
ing 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, high altitude and lower fuel grade
than recommended are factors that can
significantly increase the vehicle's fuel con-
sumption.
Trailer weights
WARNING
Please adhere to the recommendations
provided for trailer weight. If the recom-
mendations are not followed, the vehicle
and trailer may be difficult to control during
evasive maneuvers 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 over-
heating when driving with a trailer. If overheat-
ing of the engine and drive system is detected,
a warning symbol will illuminate in the instru-
ment panel and a message will appear.
The automatic transmission adapts the 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 vehi-
cle is parked on a hill with a trailer attached.
Starting on a hill
1. Depress the brake pedal.
2. Put the gear selector in

Trailer Stability Assist
*
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA
18
) is part of the
ESC
19
stability system and is a function
designed to help stabilize a vehicle that is
towing a trailer when the vehicle and trailer
have begun to sway. The function is added
when installing a towbar. Contact a Volvo
retailer for more information.
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 over-
loaded 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
movements. 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 vehicle 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 activates
ESC Sport Mode
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 caus-
ing the swaying.

fog light may not illuminate and rear fog light
functionality 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.

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 driv-
ing.
5. Keep the towline taut when the towing
vehicle slows down by applying light pres-
sure 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.

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.
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.

The system's volume is normally adjusted
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.
