Towing bracket*

The car can be equipped with a towing bracket
that makes it possible to tow e.g. a trailer after
the car.
There may be different towing bracket variants
available for the car; contact a Volvo dealer for
more information.
For information on towing capacity and towball
load, see the section "Towing capacity and tow-
ball load".
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.
