Extendable/Retractable Towing Brackets - Volvo XC 90 Owner's Manual

Increased towing capacity*
Increased towing capacity requires a special tow-
ing bracket that can handle a larger load. Check
with your nearest Volvo dealer whether the car's
towbar fulfils the requirement of the higher tow-
ing capacity. Otherwise, the car's towing bracket
must be changed to be able to use an increased
load capacity.
