pg. 79 Points to remember
Weight distribution affects handling
At the specified curb weight your car has a tendency to understeer, which means that the
steering wheel has to be turned more than might seem appropriate for the curvature of a bend. This
ensures good stability and reduces the risk of rear wheel skid. Remember that these properties can alter
with the vehicle load. The heavier the load in the trunk (max. 220 lbs, 100 kg), the less the tendency to
understeer.
Handling, roadholding
Vehicle load, tire design and inflation pressure all affect vehicle handling. Therefore, check that the tires
are inflated to the recommended pressure according to the vehicle load. See "Tire pressure" section.
Loads should be distributed so that capacity weight or maximum permissible axle loads are not
exceeded.
WARNING!
It is recommended that tires of the same make and dimensions be used on all four wheels (including
the use of snow tires). Do not use bias ply tires as this will adversely alter vehicle handling
characteristics. Maintain correct tire pressure.
Roof rails/racks
Roof racks are available as Volvo accessories. Observe the following points when in use:
· Avoid single-point loads. Distribute the load evenly.
