end up in the wrong lane or leave the car- riageway. The trailer stability assist continually monitors the car's movements, particularly lateralmovements. If snaking is detected, the frontwheels are individually braked. This serves tostabilise the car/trailer combination. This isoften enough to help the driver regain controlof the car. If snaking is not eliminated the first time the trailer stability assist comes into action, thecar/trailer combination is braked with allwheels and engine power is reduced. Oncesnaking has been gradually suppressed andthe car/trailer combination is stable onceagain, the system stops regulating and thedriver once again has full control of the car.For more information, see Stability and trac-tion control system (DSTC) - operation (p.176)
MiscellaneousThe trailer stability assist can engage withinthe speed interval 60-160 km/h.
NOTE
TSA function is switched off if the driver selects Sport mode, see Stability and
traction control system (DSTC) (p. 175).
The trailer stability assist may fail to engage if the driver uses sudden steering wheel move-ments to try to rectify the snaking because in such a situation the system cannot determinewhether it is the trailer or the driver that iscausing the snaking.
When the trailer stability assist isworking, the combined instrument
panel's DSTC symbol flashes.

Towing
During towing, one vehicle is towed by another vehicle using a tow rope.
IMPORTANT
Note that the car must always be towed with the wheels rolling forward. Do not tow the vehicle at speeds higher than 80 km/h or for distances in excess of80 km.
Find out the statutory maximum speed limit for towing before towing begins.
1. Unlock the steering lock by inserting the
remote control key in the ignition switch and giving a long press on the START/
STOP ENGINE button - key position II is
activated, see Key positions (p. 70) formore information about key positions.
2. The remote control key must remain in the ignition switch while the car is beingtowed.
3. Keep the towline taut when the towing vehicle reduces speed by holding yourfoot gently pressed on the brake pedal -thereby avoiding unnecessary jerking.
4. Be prepared to brake to stop.

WARNING
•Check that the steering lock is unlocked before towing.
• The remote control key must be in keyposition
II - in position I all airbags are
deactivated.
• Never remove the remote control keyfrom the ignition switch when the caris being towed.
WARNING
The brake servo and power steering do not work when the engine is switched off - thebrake pedal needs to be depressedabout 5 times more heavily and the steer-ing is considerably heavier than normal.
Manual gearboxPrior to towing:
–Move gear lever into neutral and release the parking brake.
Automatic gearbox GeartronicPrior to towing:
–Move the gear selector to position
N and
release the parking brake.
Automatic gearbox PowershiftThe model with Powershift transmission should not be towed as it is dependent on theengine running in order to receive sufficient lubrication. If towing still has to take place,the route must be as short as possible andthen with very low speed. In the event of uncertainty as to whether or not the car is equipped with Powershift trans-mission, this can be verified by checking thedesignation on the gearbox label under thebonnet, see Type designations (p. 386). Thedesignation ”MPS6” means that it isPowershift transmission - otherwise it isGeartronic automatic transmission.
IMPORTANT
Avoid towing.
• However, the car can be towed for a short distance at low speed to move itfrom a dangerous position - not furtherthan 10 km and not faster than10 km/h. Note that the car mustalways be towed with the wheels roll-ing forward.
• In the event of moving a longer dis-tance than 10 km, the car must betransported with the drive wheelsraised from the road - professionalrecovery is recommended.
Prior to towing:
–Move the gear selector to position
N and
release the parking brake.
Jump startingDo not tow the car to bump start the engine. Use a donor battery if the battery is dis-charged and the engine does not start, seeJump starting with battery (p. 270).
IMPORTANT
The catalytic converter may be damaged during attempts to tow-start the engine.

Tyre pressure monitoring*
Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS) (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) 3
warns the
driver when the pressure is too low in one or more of the car's tyres. Tyre pressure monitoring uses sensors located inside the air valve in each wheel.When the car is driven at about 40 km/h thesystem detects the tyre pressure. If the pres- sure is too low then a warning lamp
in the
combined instrument panel illuminates and a message is shown in the information display. Both factory-fitted and optional wheels can be equipped with TPMS sensors in thevalves. If wheels without TPMS sensors are used or if a sensor has failed then
Tyre press. syst
Service required will be shown.
Always check the system after changing a wheel in order to ensure that replacementwheels work with the system. For information on the correct tyre pressure, see Tyres - air pressure (p. 328). The system does not replace normal tyre maintenance.
IMPORTANT
If a fault should arise in the tyre pressure system a warning lamp
in the com-
bined instrument panel will illuminate and a message will be shown. This can be forvarious reasons, e.g. fitting a wheel notequipped with a sensor adapted for Vol-vo's tyre pressure monitoring system.

Coolant - level
The coolant cools the internal combustion engine to the correct operating temperature.The heat that is transferred from the engine tothe coolant can be used to heat the passen-ger compartment. The coolant level must lie between the
MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion tank.
Checking the level and topping up
When topping up the coolant, follow the instructions on the packaging. It is importantthat the mixture of coolant concentrate andwater is correct for the prevailing weatherconditions. Never top up with water only. Therisk of freezing increases with both too littleand too much coolant concentrate.

Lamp replacement can be carried out for bulbs. When replacing LED and Xenon lamps,please refer to a workshop. The bulbs are specified (p. 358). The follow- ing list contains locations of bulbs and otherlight sources that are specialised, such as LED 10
lamps, or are unsuitable for changing
for some other reason, except at a workshop:
• Active Xenon headlamps - ABL (Xenon lamps)
• Daytime running lights/Position/parkinglamps front
• Side marker lamps front
• Cornering lights
• Side direction indicators, door mirrors
• Approach lighting, door mirrors
• Interior lighting apart from Courtesy light-ing front
• Glovebox lighting
• Position/parking lamps rear/Side markerlamps rear
• Brake light.WARNING
On cars with Xenon headlamps, the replacement of Xenon lamps must be car-ried out at a workshop - an authorisedVolvo workshop is recommended. Workingwith Xenon lamps demands extreme cau-tion because the headlamp is equippedwith a high voltage unit.
WARNING
The car's electrical system must be in key position
0 for bulb replacement; see Key
