STARTING AND DRIVING
||
NOTE
If the starter battery has been discharged
so much that the car has no normal electri-
cal functions and the engine is then jump-
started with an external battery or a battery
charger, the Start/stop function may con-
tinue to be activated. If the Start/stop
function then auto-stops the engine shortly
afterwards, there is a great risk that engine
auto-start will fail due to insufficient bat-
tery capacity, because the battery has not
had the time to recharge.
If the car has been jump-started, or if there
is insufficient time to charge the battery
with a battery charger, the Start/stop func-
tion is temporarily deactivated until the
battery has been recharged by the car. In
an outside temperature of approx. +15 °C
(approx. 60 °F), the battery needs to be
charged for at least 1 hour by the car. In a
lower outside temperature, the charging
time may increase to 3–4 hours. The rec-
ommendation is to charge the battery
using an external battery charger.

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 availa-
ble for the car. Contact a Volvo dealer for more
information.
IMPORTANT
When the engine is switched off, the con-
stant battery voltage to the trailer connec-
tor can be switched off automatically so as
not to drain the starter battery.
IMPORTANT
The towball needs regular cleaning and
lubrication 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.
