STARTING AND DRIVING

Driving with a trailer
When driving with a trailer, there are a number of points that are important to think about regar-ding the towing bracket, the trailer and how theload is positioned in the trailer.
Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The total of the weight of the passengers and allaccessories, e.g. towbar, reduces the car's pay-load by a corresponding weight. The car is supplied with the necessary equipment for towing a trailer.
• The car's towing bracket must be of anapproved type.
• Distribute the load on the trailer so that theweight on the towing bracket complies withthe specified maximum towball load. Towballload is calculated as part of the car's payload.
• Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-mended pressure for a full load. For moreinformation on tyre pressure, see the section"Approved tyre pressures".
• The engine is loaded more heavily than usualwhen driving with a trailer.
• Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car isbrand new. Wait until it has been driven atleast 1000 km.
• The brakes are loaded much more than usualon long and steep downhill slopes. Downshiftto a lower gear and adjust your speed. •
Follow the regulations in force for the permit-ted speeds and weights.
• Maintain a low speed when driving with atrailer up long, steep ascents.
• The maximum trailer weights given only applyto altitudes up to 1000 metres above sealevel. At higher altitudes, engine power andthus the car's climbing ability is decreaseddue to the reduced air density, and the maxi-mum trailer weight must therefore bereduced. The weight of the car and trailermust be decreased by 10 % for each addi-tional 1000 m (or part thereof).
• Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of morethan 12%.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a trailer or driving at high altitudes in combina-tion with fuel quality are factors that consider-ably increase the car's fuel consumption.
Trailer connectorAn adapter is required if the car's towing bracket has a 13 pin connector and the trailer has a 7 pinconnector. Use an adapter approved by Volvo.Make sure the cable does not drag on theground.
IMPORTANT
When the engine is switched off, the constant battery voltage to the trailer connector can beswitched off automatically so as not to drainthe starter battery.
Trailer weightsInformation about Volvo's permitted trailer weights is available in the article "Towingcapacity and towball load".
WARNING
Follow the stated recommendations for trailer weights. Otherwise, the car and trailer may bedifficult to control in the event of suddenmovement and braking.
NOTE
The stated maximum permitted trailer weights are those permitted by Volvo. National vehicleregulations can further limit trailer weightsand speeds. Towbars can be certified forhigher towing weights than the car canactually tow.
Direction indicators and brake lights on the trailer
If one or more of the trailer's direction indicators or brake light bulbs is broken, the driver display

WHEELS AND TYRES
482
TyresAmongst other things, the function of the tyres is to carry load, provide grip on the road surface,dampen vibration and protect the wheel fromwear.
The tyres greatly affect the car's driving characte- ristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre pressureand speed rating are important for how the carperforms.
Recommended tyresOn delivery, the car is equipped with Volvo origi- nal tyres that have the VOL 1
marking on the side
of the tyres. These tyres are carefully adapted to the car. In the event of changing tyres, it is there-fore important that the new tyres also have thismarking in order for the car's driving characteris-tics, comfort and fuel consumption to be main-tained.
New tyres
Tyres are perishable. After a few years they begin to harden at the same time as the frictioncapacity/characteristics gradually deteriorate. Forthis reason, aim to get as fresh tyres as possiblewhen you replace them. This is especially impor-tant with regard to winter tyres. The last four dig-its in the sequence mean the week and year ofmanufacture. This is the tyre's DOT marking(Department of Transportation), and this is statedwith four digits, for example 0715. The tyre in thefigure was manufactured in week 07 of 2015.
Tyre ageAll tyres older than 6 years old should bechecked by an expert even if they seem undam-aged. Tyres age and decompose, even if they arehardly ever or never used. The function cantherefore be affected. This applies to all tyres that are stored for future use. Examples of externalsigns which indicate that the tyre is unsuitable foruse are cracks or discoloration.
Wear and maintenanceCorrect tyre pressure results in more even wear.Driving style, tyre pressure, climate and road con-dition affect how quickly the tyres age and wear. To avoid differences in tread depth and to pre- vent wear patterns forming on the tyres, the frontand rear wheels can be switched with each other.A suitable distance for the first change is approx.5000 km and then at 10000 km intervals. Volvo recommends the an authorised Volvo work- shop is contacted for checking if you are uncer-tain about tread depth. If significant differences inwear (> 1 mm difference in tread depth) betweentyres have already occurred, then the least worntyres must always be fitted on the rear. Under-steer is normally easier to correct than oversteer,and leads to the car continuing forwards in astraight line rather than having the rear end skid-ding to one side, resulting in possible completeloss of control over the car. This is why it isimportant for the rear wheels never to lose gripbefore the front wheels.
WARNING
A damaged tyre may lead to loss of control over the car.

There may be deviations for certain tyre dimensions.

IMPORTANT
When replacing the starter battery or support battery, a battery of AGM 15
type must be fit-
ted.
NOTE
• The higher the current take-off in the car, the more the alternator must be workingand the batteries charging = Increasedfuel consumption.
• When the capacity of the starter batteryhas fallen below the lowest permissiblelevel then the Start/Stop function is dis-engaged.
Temporarily reduced Start/Stop function due to high current take-off means: •
The engine starts automatically 16
without the
driver depressing the clutch pedal (manualgearbox).
• The engine starts automatically without thedriver lifting his/her foot off the foot brakepedal (automatic gearbox).
The support battery normally requires no moreservice than the normal starter battery. A work-shop should be contacted in the event of ques-tions or problems - an authorised Volvo workshopis recommended.
IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed then the Start/Stop function may temporarilycease to work after the connection of anexternal starter battery or battery charger:
• The negative battery terminal on the car's starter battery must
never be used for
connecting an external starter battery orbattery charger - only the car's negative
charging point may be used as the
grounding point.
NOTE
If the starter battery has been discharged so much that the car has no normal electricalfunctions and the engine is then jump-startedwith an external battery or a battery charger,the Start/Stop function will continue to beactivated. If the Start/Stop function thenauto-stops the engine shortly after, there is agreat risk that engine auto-start will fail dueto insufficient battery capacity, because thebattery has not had the opportunity torecharge. If the car has been jump-started, or if there is insufficient time to charge the battery with abattery charger, the recommendation is totemporarily deactivate the Start/Stop functionuntil the battery has been recharged by thecar. In an outside temperature of +15 °C, thebattery needs to be charged for at least1 hour by the car. In a lower outside tempera-ture, the charging time may increase to3-4 hours. The recommendation is to chargethe battery using an external battery charger.

Weights Max. gross vehicle weight, etc. can be read on a label in the car.
Kerb weight includes the driver, the fuel tank 90% full and all fluids. The weight of passengers and accessories, and towball load (when a trailer is hitched) influencethe load capacity and are not included in the kerbweight. Permitted max. load = Gross vehicle weight - Kerb weight.
NOTE
The documented kerb weight applies to cars in the standard version - i.e. a car withoutextra equipment or accessories. This meansthat for every accessory added the loadingcapacity of the car is reduced correspondinglyby the weight of the accessory. Examples of accessories that reduce load capacity are the different equipment levels(e.g. Kinetic, Momentum, Summum), as wellas other accessories such as towbar, loadcarrier, space box, audio system, auxiliarylamps, GPS, fuel-driven heater, safety grille,carpets, cargo cover, power seats, etc. Weighing the car is a certain way of ascer- taining the kerb weight of your own particularcar.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics change depending on how heavily it is loaded andhow the load is distributed.

Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions
Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions can be affected negatively by several causes.
Examples of reasons for increased fuel consump- tion are as follows:• If the car is equipped with extra equipmentthat affects the car's weight.
• The driver's driving style.
• If the customer chooses wheels other thanthose fitted as standard on the model's basicversion then rolling resistance may increase.
• High speed results in increased wind resis-tance.
• Fuel quality, road and traffic conditions,weather and the condition of the car.
A combination of the above-mentioned examplescan result in significantly increased consumption.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a trailer or driving at high altitudes in combina-tion with fuel quality are factors that consider-ably increase the car's fuel consumption.
