Towbar - Volvo XC90 Recharge Owner's Manual

STARTING AND DRIVING
||
11. Start your own car's engine. If the start
attempt fails then extend the charging
time to 10 minutes, and then make a new
start attempt.
NOTE
When starting the engine in normal condi-
tions the car's electric drive motor is priori-
tised - the petrol engine remains switched
off. This means that after the start knob
has been turned clockwise, the electric
motor has "started" and the car is ready to
move. A started motor is indicated by the
driver display's indicator lamps extinguish-
ing and its preset theme illuminating.
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the connections between
cable and car during the starting attempt.
There is a risk of sparks forming.
12. Remove the jump leads in reverse order -
first the black and then the red.
Make sure that none of the black jump
lead's clamps comes into contact with the
car's positive jump-starting point/donor
battery's positive terminal or the clamp
connected to the red jump lead.

WARNING
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen
•
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark
can be formed if a jump lead is con-
nected 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 immediately.
Never smoke near the battery.
•
NOTE
The car cannot be started if the hybrid bat-
tery 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 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.
