Towing using a towline
This section refers to one vehicle being towedbehind another using a towline.
Twin Engine vehicles may not be towed behindanother vehicle due to the risk of damage to theelectric motor. The vehicle must be lifted onto atow truck and transported with all four wheels onthe bed or lifting platform of the truck (no wheelsmay touch the road).
Towing another vehicle
Towing another vehicle requires a lot of power -use the AWD drive mode. This helps charge thehybrid battery and improve the vehicle's drivingand roadholding characteristics.
Before towing another vehicle, check applicablespeed limit regulations.
Jump starting
Do not tow the vehicle to start the engine. Use anauxiliary battery if the start battery's charge levelis so low that the engine cannot be started.
CAUTION
Attempts to tow-start the vehicle could causedamage to the electrical drive motor andthree-way catalytic converter.

Recovery
This section refers to transporting the vehiclewith a tow truck or similar vehicle.
Call a professional towing service for assistance.
In certain conditions, the towing eyelet can beused to pull the vehicle onto a flatbed tow truck.
CAUTION
Note that vehicles with Twin Engine mustalways be towed raised with all wheels on thetow truck.
For vehicles equipped with leveling control*:If the vehicle is equipped with pneumatic suspen-sion, this feature must be turned off before thevehicle is lifted onto a tow truck. Turning off thefunction in the center display.
1.Tap Settings in the Top view.
2.Tap My CarParking Brake andSuspension.
3.Select Disable Leveling Control.
The vehicle's location and ground clearancedetermine if it can be lifted onto a tow truck. Ifthe incline of the tow truck is too steep or if theground clearance under the vehicle is insufficient,attempting to pull it up may result in damage. Inthis case, the vehicle should only be lifted withthe tow truck's lifting equipment.
WARNING
No person or object should be behind the towtruck when the vehicle is lifted onto the bedof the truck.

Follow these instructions to program
HomeLink®, reset all programming, or programindividual buttons.
NOTE
In some vehicles, the ignition must be on or in
the "accessory position" before HomeLink®
can be programmed or used. It can be a goodidea to put new batteries in the remote con-
trol being replaced by HomeLink® for fasterprogramming and better radio signal trans-
mission. The HomeLink® buttons should bereset before programming.
WARNING
While HomeLink® is being programmed, thegarage door or gate being programmed maybe activated. Make sure that no one is nearthe door or gate during programming. Whenprogramming a garage door opener, it isadvised to park outside of the garage.
1.Point the remote control at the HomeLink®
button to be programmed and hold it about2-8 cm (1-3 inches) from the button. Do not
obstruct the HomeLink® indicator light.
Note: Some remote controls are more effec-
tive at programming HomeLink® from a dis-tance of about 15-20 cm (6-12 inches). Trymoving the remote control closer or furtheraway if you are experiencing any difficultiesprogramming.
2.Press and hold both the remote control but-
ton and the HomeLink® button to be pro-grammed.
3. Do not release the buttons until the indicatorlight has stopped flashing slowly (about oncea second) and either flashes quickly (about10 times a second) or glows steadily.
>Steady glow: Indication that program-ming is complete. Press the programmedbutton twice to activate.
Flashing quickly: The device being pro-
grammed with HomeLink® may have asecurity function that requires an extrastep. Try pressing the programmed buttontwice to see whether the programmingworks. Otherwise, continue with the fol-lowing steps.

WHEELS AND TIRES
* Option/accessory.568
NOTE
Always remember to calibrate the Tire Pres-sure Monitoring System when the wheelshave been changed or the tire inflation pres-sure has been corrected according to the tirepressure decal or tire inflation pressure table.
If correct reference values have not been set,the system cannot issue low tire pressurealerts correctly.
The vehicle must be stationary with theengine running to access the calibration but-ton and to start the calibration process.
WARNING
The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide,which is invisible and odorless but very poi-sonous. For this reason, always perform thecalibration procedure outdoors or in a work-shop with exhaust gas evacuation equipment.

The wheel bolts should be tightened to140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.). Over-tightening orunder-tightening could damage the threadedjoints.
Only use rims that have been tested andapproved by Volvo and are included in Volvo'soriginal product range.
Use a torque wrench to check that the wheelbolts are tightened correctly.
Do not grease the wheel bolt threads.
WARNING
The wheel bolts may need to be tightenedagain several days after a wheel change.Temperature fluctuations and vibrations cancause them to loosen slightly.

Spare wheel15
The spare wheel is a Temporary Spare and canbe used to temporarily replace a punctured tireon one of the vehicle's regular wheels.
The spare tire is only intended for temporary use.Replace it with a normal wheel as soon as possi-ble.
The driving characteristics of the vehicle changeand ground clearance reduces when the sparewheel is used. Do not wash the vehicle in anautomatic car wash while using the TemporarySpare.
The recommended tire pressure must be main-tained regardless of at which position the tempo-rary spare wheel is used on the vehicle.
If the spare wheel is damaged, a new one can bepurchased from a Volvo retailer.
