When preparing for trailer hauling, observe the following:
● Use a trailer hitch which meets Federal Safety Standards for rear end collisions (FMVSS 301-75). For
trailer weight exceeding 2,000 lbs (908 kgs) use only a trailer hitch offered as Genuine Volvo Accessory.
An automatic transmission oil cooler must also be installed, since the automatic transmission is subject
to increased load and temperature. Consult your Volvo dealer for further information.
● Maximum trailer weight recommended by Volvo is 3,300 lbs ( 1,500 kgs). Observe legal
requirements of the state 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.
WARNING!
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 also not be used.
CAUTION:
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 authorized Volvo dealer
for correct installation.
Trailer towing does not normally present any particular problems, but take into consideration:
● Recommended hitch tongue load is 110 lbs (50 kgs) for trailer weights below 2,650 lbs (1,200 kgs)
and 143-154 lbs (65-70 kgs) for trailer weights above 2,650 lbs (1,200 kgs).
However, the hitch tongue load should not exceed 200 lbs (90 kgs).
● For trailer weights of 2,650-3,300 lbs (1,200-1,500 kgs) a top speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) should
never be exceeded.
● 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 lower gear and turn off air
conditioner if temperature gauge pointer enters the red range.
● Disengage the overdrive on models with automatic transmission.
● Avoid overload and other abusive operation.
● Hauling a trailer affects handling, durability and economy. A trailer air dam (Volvo accessory) will
often improve mileage.
● It is necessary to balance trailer brakes with the towing vehicle brakes to provide a safe stop (check
and observe State/Local regulations).
● More frequent vehicle maintenance is required.
● Remove the ball and drawbar assembly when the hitch is not being used.
