pg. 67 Vehicle towing information
Towing cars with front wheel drive
Volvo recommends the use of flat bed equipment.
If wheel lift equipment must be used, please use extreme caution to help avoid damage to the car. In this
case, the car should be towed with the rear wheels on the ground if at all possible.
If it is absolutely necessary to tow the vehicle with the front wheels on the ground, please refer to the
towing information on the previous page.
CAUTION:
· Sling-type equipment applied at the front will damage radiator and air conditioning lines.
· It is equally important not to use sling-type equipment at the rear or apply lifting equipment inside the
rear wheels; serious damage to the rear axle may result.
· If the car is being towed on a flat bed truck, the towing eyelets must not be used to secure the car on the
flat bed. Consult the tow truck operator.
