CAUTION:
•Please check with state and local authori-
ties before attempting this type of towing,
as vehicles being towed are subject to
regulations regarding maximum towing
speed, length and type of towing device,
lighting, etc.
•If the car’s battery is dead, do not attempt
to start the vehicle by pushing or pulling it
as this will damage the three-way catalytic
converter(s). The engine must be jump
started using an auxiliary battery (see page
109).
•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!
•Remember that the power brakes and
power steering will not function when
engine is not running. The braking and
steering systems will function but the
brake pedal pressure required is 3 - 4
times above normal and greater steering
effort must be exerted.
•The towing eyelets must not be used for
pulling another vehicle out of a ditch or
for any similar purpose involving severe
strain.
•Do not use the towing eyelets to pull the
car up onto a flat bed tow truck.

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.
