If the brake power-assist does not function
The power assist to the brakes functions only when the engine is running. When the car is moving
without the engine running the brake pedal pressure required to stop the car is increased by 3-4 times
and the brake pedal feels stiff.
pg. 71 Trailer towing
When preparing for trailer towing, observe the following:
NOTE: Models with automatic transmission are equipped with a transmission oil cooler as standard
equipment. This cooler helps prevent overheating of the transmission during times of increased load, as
when towing a trailer.
Maximum trailer weight recommended by Volvo is:
● Trailers without brakes: 1100 lbs (500kg)
● Trailers with brakes: 2" (50 mm) ball - 3300 lbs (1500 kg), 1 7/8" (47 mm) ball - 2000 lbs (908 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".
● Recommended hitch tongue load is 110 (50 kg) for trailer weights below 2,650 lbs (1,200 kg) and 165
lbs (75 kg) for trailer weights above 2,650 lbs (1,200 kg). For trailer weights between 2,650 - 3,300 lbs
(1,200 - 1,500 kg) 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 the temperature gauge pointer enters the red range.
● 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.
NOTE: Refer to section "Automatic transmission" for additional trailer hauling tips.
