heating. This includes: altering fuel injec-
tion settings or components, altering
emission system components or location
or removing components, and/or repeated
use of leaded fuel.
Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with
three-way catalytic converters.
Heated oxygen sensors
The heated oxygen sensors monitor the oxy-
gen content of the exhaust gases. Readings
are fed into a control module that continuously
monitors engine functions and controls fuel
injection. The ratio of fuel to air into the engine
is continuously adjusted for efficient combus-
tion to help reduce harmful emissions.

instead, as this uses
less electrical current.
Note that certain accessories may also drain
power from the electrical system. Do not use
functions that use a lot of electrical current
when the engine is turned off. Examples of
such functions are:
•
blower
•
headlights
•
windshield wipers
•
audio system (especially at high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low, a message
is shown in the driver display. The vehicle's
energy-saving function will then turn off or
reduce certain functions, such as the blower
and/or the audio system.

Jump starting using another
battery
If the start battery is discharged, current from
another battery can be used to start the vehi-
cle.
Jumper cable connecting points.
To avoid short circuits or other damage, the
following steps are recommended when jump
starting the battery using another battery:
1. Put the ignition in mode
0
.
2. Make sure the auxiliary battery (the bat-
tery 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.

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
terminals or either of the red jumper
cable's connected clamps.
WARNING
High voltage may be dangerous if handled
incorrectly. Do not touch anything on bat-
teries that is not clearly described in this
•
Never use a 48 V support battery to
jump start the vehicle.
•

WARNING
•
Batteries generate hydrogen gas,
which is flammable and explosive.
•
Do not connect the jumper cable to
any part of the fuel system or to any
moving parts. Avoid touching hot
manifolds.
•
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do
not allow battery fluid to contact eyes,
skin, fabrics or painted surfaces.
•
If contact occurs, flush the affected
area immediately with water. Obtain
medical help immediately if eyes are
affected.
•
Never expose the battery to open flame
or electric spark. Do not smoke near
the battery. Failure to follow the
instructions for jump starting can lead
to injury.
If the starter battery has been discharged
to the extent that the vehicle does not have
normal electrical functions and the engine
must then be jump-started with an external
battery or a battery charger, the Start/Stop
function may remain activated. If the Start/
Stop function shortly thereafter auto-stops
the engine, there is a huge risk that auto-
start of the engine will fail due to insuffi-
cient battery capacity since the battery had
not had time to recharge.
If the vehicle has been jump-started or if
there has not been enough time for the
battery to be charged with a battery
charger, the Start/Stop function should be
temporarily deactivated until the battery
has been recharged by the vehicle. At an
ambient temperature of about +15°C
(about 60°F), the battery must be charged
by the vehicle for at least one hour. At
lower ambient temperatures, the charging
time can increase to 3-4 hours. It is advisa-
ble to charge the battery with an external
battery charger.

Towing capacity and tongue weight
(p. 616)
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.

Trailer Stability Assist
*
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA
19
) is part of the
ESC
20
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.

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.
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.

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
