NOTE
Volvo recommends only using Volvo origi-
nal accessories. Follow the instructions
supplied with the product.
CAUTION
Never use towbar adapters or towbar
•
extenders.
Only use ball mount for towing. Do not
•
mount accessories directly on the ball
mount. Use accessories designed to
be mounted in the towbar's square
bracket. Do not use accessories
designed to be secured around the ball
mount.
Loading the bicycle holder
The greater the distance between the load and
the bicycle holder, the greater the load on the
hitch and on the vehicle.
Keep the following points in mind:
Mount the heaviest bicycle closest to the
•
vehicle.
If possible, mount the bicycles symmetri-
•
cally, as close as possible to the center of
the vehicle.
Remove loose objects from the bicycle,
•
such as baskets, batteries or child seats.
This will help reduce the load on the hitch
and the bicycle holder.
Do not place a cover over the bicycle as
•
this could lead to increased load on the
hitch.
