Starting and driving

Driving with a trailer

Driving with trailer and automatic

gearbox

When parking on hills, you should apply the

parking brake before moving the gear

selector to the P position. When you start on

a hill, you should first put the gear selector in

the drive position and then release the

parking brake.

• Select a low gear in the gearbox when

driving on steep inclines or when driving

slowly. This prevents the gearbox from

upshifting. The gearbox oil will be cooler.

• Do not use a higher manual gear than the

engine can "handle". It is not always

economical to drive in high gears.

• Avoid driving with trailer and automatic

gearbox on inclines exceeding 15 %.

NOTE! An automatic gearbox oil cooler for

trailer towing is required for a number of

models.

Consult your Volvo dealer for information

regarding your car’s specifications if the

towbar has been installed after purchase.

Assisted starting with a trailer

Cars equipped with a V8 engine have an

integrated function which reduces the risk of

significant jerking and wheelspin when

starting with a trailer hitched to the car.

Activating

To activate, the cables from the trailer must

be connected to the trailer socket which is

fitted beside the towbar, see page 132.

Deactivating

Unplug the cables from the electrical socket.

NOTE! The function is also activated when

any other electrical equipment is plugged into

the trailer socket, and the car then accel-

erates more gently when pulling away.

Levelling (option on cars seating

five, standard on cars seating

seven)

If your car is equipped with automatic

levelling, the rear suspension always retains

the correct ride height regardless of load.

When the car is stationary, the rear

suspension sinks. This is completely normal.

When starting with a load, the level is

pumped up after a certain distance.
