Towing a trailer
General information
● Volvo recommends the use of Volvo trailer hitches that are specially designed for the vehicle.
CAUTION
Models equipped with the B5244S7 engine (engine code 39, which is the 6th and 7th digits from the left
in your vehicle's VIN number, see page 227 for the location of the VIN plate), may not be used to tow
trailers or vehicles of any kind. This could cause damage to the vehicle's emission control systems.
Maximum trailer weights recommended by Volvo are:
● Trailers without brakes: 1,540 lbs (700 kg).
● Trailers with brakes: 2,000 lbs (900 kg) Observe the legal requirements of the state/province in which
the vehicles are registered.
● The maximum recommended hitch tongue load is 165 lbs (75 kg).
● 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 the chapter "Wheels and tires."
● When your vehicle is new, avoid towing heavy trailers during the first 620 miles (1,000 km).
● Maximum speed when towing a trailer: 50 m.p.h. (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 information
