NOTE
When parking the vehicle with a trailer
on a hill, apply the parking brake before
putting the gear selector in Park (P).
Always follow the trailer manufacturer's
recommendations for wheel chocking.
If you use the manual (Geartronic) shift
positions while towing a trailer, or if the
vehicle is equipped with a manual trans-
mission, make sure the gear you select
does not put too much strain on the
engine (using too high a gear).
The drawbar assembly/trailer hitch may
be rated for trailers heavier than the
vehicle is designed to tow. Please
adhere to Volvo's recommended trailer
weights.
Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines
exceeding 15%.
