STARTING AND DRIVING
}}
* Option/accessory.435
Follow applicable regulations regarding per-mitted speed and weight.
Drive slowly when towing a trailer up a longand steep incline.
The maximum trailer weights given only applyto altitudes up to 1000 meters (3280 feet)above sea level. At higher altitudes, enginepower (and thus the vehicle's climbing ability)is decreased due to the reduced air density,and the maximum trailer weight must there-fore be reduced. The weight of the vehicleand trailer must be decreased by 10% foreach additional 1000 m (3280 feet) or partthereof.
Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of morethan 12%.
Avoid overloading and other incorrect use.
The trailer's brakes must be balanced withthe vehicle's brakes to help ensure safestops (follow applicable local regulations).
CAUTION
Bumper-attached trailer hitches must notbe used on Volvos, nor should safetychains be attached to the bumper.
Trailer hitches attaching to the vehiclerear axle must not be used.
Never connect a trailer's hydraulic brakesystem directly to the vehicle brake sys-tem, nor a trailer's lighting system directlyto the vehicle lighting system. Consultyour nearest authorized Volvo retailer forcorrect installation.
When towing a trailer, the trailer's safetychains or wire must be correctly fastenedto the attachment points provided in thetrailer hitch on the vehicle. The safetychain or wire must never be fastened toor wound around the towing ball.
NOTE
The optional detachable trailer hitch may notbe available in all markets or on all models.Consult your Volvo retailer.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, towing a trailer,high altitude and lower fuel grade than rec-ommended are factors that can significantlyincrease the vehicle's fuel consumption.
Trailer weights
WARNING
Please adhere to the recommendations provi-ded for trailer weight. If the recommendationsare not followed, the vehicle and trailer maybe difficult to control during evasive maneu-vers and braking.
NOTE
The specified maximum trailer weights arethose permitted by Volvo. National vehicleregulations may set additional restrictions ontrailer weight and speed. The trailer hitchesmay be certified for higher towing weightsthan the vehicle is permitted to tow.
Self-leveling suspension *
The vehicle's self-leveling system attempts tokeep the vehicle at a constant level, regardless ofload (up to the maximum permitted weight).When the vehicle is stationary, the rear end of thevehicle will be slightly lowered, which is normal.
Driving in hilly terrain or hot weather
In certain conditions, there is a risk of overheat-ing when driving with a trailer. If overheating ofthe engine and drive system is detected, a warn-ing symbol will illuminate in the instrument paneland a message will appear.

Trailer Stability Assist*
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA12) is a functiondesigned to help stabilize a vehicle that is tow-ing a trailer when the vehicle and trailer havebegun to sway. The function is part of the Elec-
tronic Stability Control system ESC13.
Reasons for swaying
A vehicle towing a trailer may begin to sway forvarious reasons. Normally this only occurs at highspeeds. However, if the trailer is overloaded orunevenly distributed, e.g. too far back, there is arisk of swaying even at low speeds.
Swaying may be caused by factors such as:
The vehicle and trailer are hit by a sudden,strong crosswind.
The vehicle and trailer are traveling on anuneven road or over a bump.
Sudden movements of the steering wheel.
Once swaying has begun, it can be difficult orimpossible to stop it. This makes the vehicle andtrailer difficult to control and there is a risk ofswerving into oncoming traffic or driving off theroad.
Trailer Stability Assist function
Trailer Stability Assist continuously monitors thevehicle's movements, particularly lateral move-
ments. If swaying is detected, the brakes areapplied individually on the front wheels, which hasa stabilizing effect on the vehicle and trailer. Thisis often enough to enable the driver to regaincontrol of the vehicle.
If the Trailer Stability Assist function's firstattempt is not adequate to stop the swayingmotion, the brakes are applied on all wheels andengine power is temporarily reduced. As theswaying motion begins to decrease and the vehi-cle and trailer have once again become stable,TSA stops regulating the brakes/engine powerand the driver regains control of the vehicle.
NOTE
Trailer Stability Assist is deactivated if thedriver selects the sport mode by deactivatingESC in the center display's menu system.
Trailer Stability Assist may not intervene if thedriver tries to compensate for the swaying motionby moving the steering wheel rapidly, becausethe system will then not be able to determine if itis the trailer or the driver causing the swaying.
