2004 VOLVO V70 pg. 102 Towing a trailer When preparing for trailer towing, observe the following: Volvo recommends the use of Volvo trailer hitches which are specially designed for the car. ● Maximum trailer weight recommended by Volvo is: Trailers without brakes: 1100 lbs (500 kg) Trailers with brakes: 3300 lbs* (1,500 kg), Observe the legal requirements of the state/province in which the vehicles are registered. ● All Volvo models are equipped with energy-absorbing shock-mounted bumpers. Trailer hitch installation should not interfere with the proper operation of this bumper system. Trailer towing does not normally present any particular problems, but take into consideration: ● Increase tire pressure to recommended full. See section "Wheels and tires". ● When your car is new, avoid towing heavy trailers during the first 620 miles (1000 km). ● Recommended hitch tongue load is: Trailer weights below 2,650 lbs (1,200 kg) - 110 lbs (50 kg) Trailer weights above 2,650 lbs (1,200 kg) - 165 lbs (75 kg) ● Maximum speed when towing a trailer: 50 mph (80 km/h). ● Engine and transmission are subject to increased loads. Therefore, engine coolant temperature should be closely watched when driving in hot climates or hilly terrain. Use a lower gear and turn off the air conditioner if the temperature gauge needle enters the red range. ● If the automatic transmission begins to overheat, a message will be displayed in the text window. ● Avoid overload and other abusive operation. ● Hauling a trailer affects handling, durability, and economy. ● It is necessary to balance trailer brakes with the towing vehicle brakes to provide a safe stop (check and observe state/local regulations). ● Do not connect the trailer's brake system directly to the vehicle's brake system. ● More frequent vehicle maintenance is required. ● Remove the ball and drawbar assembly when the hitch is not being used. ● Volvo recommends the use of synthetic engine oil when towing a trailer over long distances or in mountainous areas. file:///K|/ownersdocs/2004/2004_V70/04v70_06b.htm (4 of 10)12/30/2006 4:32:03 PM
