NOTE

When parking the vehicle with a trailer

on a hill, apply the parking brake before
putting the gear selector in Park (

P) or

in reverse on models with a manual

transmission. Always follow the trailer

manufacturer's recommendations for

wheel chocking.

If you use the manual (Geartronic) shift

positions while towing a trailer, or if the

vehicle is equipped with a manual trans-

mission, make sure the gear you select

does not put too much strain on the

engine (using too high a gear).

The drawbar assembly/trailer hitch may

be rated for trailers heavier than the

vehicle is designed to tow. Please

adhere to Volvo's recommended trailer

weights.

Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines

exceeding 15%.
