Volvo V90 TWIN ENGINE Owner's Manual page 495

WARNING
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen
•
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark can
be formed if a jump lead is connected
incorrectly, and this can be enough for
the battery to explode.
Do not connect the jump leads to any
•
fuel system component or any moving
part. Be careful of hot engine parts.
The battery contains sulphuric acid, which
•
can cause serious burns.
If sulphuric acid comes into contact with
•
eyes, skin or clothing, flush with large
quantities of water. If acid splashes into
the eyes - seek medical attention imme-
diately.
Never smoke near the battery.
•
NOTE
The car cannot be started if the hybrid battery
is discharged.

Towbar*
The car can be equipped with a towbar that
makes it possible to tow e.g. a trailer behind the
car.
There may be different towbar variants available
for the car. Contact a Volvo dealer for more infor-
mation.
IMPORTANT
When the engine is switched off, the constant
battery voltage to the trailer connector can be
switched off automatically so as not to drain
the starter battery.
IMPORTANT
The towball needs regular cleaning and lubri-
cation with grease in order to prevent wear.
NOTE
When a hitch with a vibration damper is used,
the towball must not be lubricated.
This also applies when fitting a bicycle rack
that is clamped in around the towball.
NOTE
If the car is equipped with a towbar, there is
no rear mounting for a towing eye.
