Please refer to the information on page 95.
Sport mode (R-models only)
R-models are equipped with a (S)port button
that can be used to engage/disengage the Sport
shifting mode. An indicator light in the button
will go on when Sport mode is engaged.
With Sport mode engaged, the transmission
will shift up at higher rpm in first and second
gears, and will also shift down at higher rpm
for more immediate engine response during
acceleration and deceleration.

Vehicle towing information
Towing cars with all wheel drive/front wheel
drive
Volvo recommends the use of flat bed equipment.
If wheel lift equipment must be used, please use extreme caution to help
avoid damage to the car. In this case, the car should be towed with
the rear wheels on the ground if at all possible.
If it is absolutely necessary to tow the vehicle with the front wheels on
the ground, please refer to the towing information on the previous page.CAUTION:
•The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions/
specifications or with a spare tire other than the one that came with
the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your
car's transmission.
•Sling-type equipment applied at the front will damage radiator and
air conditioning lines.
•It is equally important not to use sling-type equipment at the rear or
apply lifting equipment inside the rear wheels; serious damage to
the rear axle may result.
•If the car is being towed on a flat bed truck, the towing eyelets must
not be used to secure the car on the flat bed. Consult the tow truck
operator.

WARNING!
•Bumper-attached trailer hitches must not be used on Volvo’s, nor
should safety chains be attached to the bumper.
•Trailer hitches attaching to the vehicle rear axle must not be used.•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
retailer for correct installation.
•When towing a trailer, the trailer’s safety wire must be correctly
fastened to the hole or hook provided in the trailer hitch on the car.
The safety wire should never be fastened to or wound around the
drawbar ball.
NOTE:
•When parking the car with a trailer on a hill, apply the parking
brake before putting the gear selector in (P)ark or reverse on
models with a manual transmission. Always follow the trailer
manufacturer's recommendations for wheel chocking.
•When starting on a hill, put the gear selector in (D)rive before
releasing the parking brake.
•If you use the manual (Geartronic) shift positions while towing a
trailer, make sure the gear you select does not put too much strain
on the engine (using too high a gear).
•The drawbar assembly/trailer hitch may be certified for trailers that
are heavier than the car is designed to tow. Please adhere to Volvo’s
recommended trailer weights.
* When driving for prolonged periods at temperatures above 86° F
(30° C), the maximum recommended weight is 2000 lbs (900 kg).
When preparing for trailer towing, observe
the following:
Volvo recommends the use of Volvo trailer hitches which are specially
designed for the car.
