Towing using a towline
This section refers to one vehicle being towed behind another using a towline.
Before towing another vehicle, check applica- ble speed limit regulations.
Preparations and towing
CAUTION
For some transmission variants, it is not possible to shift from P position if theengine is switched off. Contact an author-ized Volvo workshop for assistance towingor call a professional towing service.
CAUTION
Note that the vehicle must always be towed with the wheels rolling forward.
Do not tow a vehicle with automatictransmission at a speed greater than80 km/h (50 mph) or for a distancegreater than 80 km (50 miles).
WARNING
Ignition mode
II must be active – all
airbags are deactivated in ignition mode I.
Always have the remote key in thevehicle when it is towed.
WARNING
The brake and steering servos do not work when the engine is off – it takesabout 5 times more pressure on the brakepedal and steering requires much moreeffort than normal.
1. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
2. Attach the towline to the towing eyelet.
3. Put the vehicle in ignition mode II – with-
out pressing the brake pedal, turn the start knob clockwise and hold it there for about4 seconds. Release the knob, which willautomatically return to its original position.
4. Move the gear selector to neutral (N) and release the parking brake. If the battery charge level is too low, it may not be possible to release the parkingbrake. Connect an auxiliary battery to thevehicle if the battery is discharged.
> The towing vehicle can now start driv-ing. 5. Keep the towline taut when the towing
vehicle slows down by applying light pres- sure to the brake pedal. This will helpavoid jarring movements.
6. Be prepared to apply the brakes to stop the vehicle.
Jump startingDo not tow the vehicle to start the engine. Usean auxiliary battery if the start battery's chargelevel is so low that the engine cannot bestarted.
CAUTION
Attempting to tow with the engine running could result in damage to the three-waycatalytic converter.

ble.
Fasten the eyelet securing by, for example, inserting a lug wrench * through it and
using this as a lever.
CAUTION
It is important that the towing eye is screwed in securely as far as possible.
To consider before using the towing eyelet
In certain conditions, the towing eyelet may be used to pull the vehicle onto a flat-bed tow truck. The vehicle's position andground clearance determines if this is pos-sible.
If the incline of the tow truck is too steepor if the ground clearance under the vehi-cle is insufficient, attempting to pull it up using the towing eyelet may result in dam-age.
If necessary, lift the vehicle using the towtruck's lifting device instead of using thetowing eyelet.
WARNING
No person or object should be behind the tow truck when the vehicle is lifted ontothe bed of the truck.
CAUTION
The towing eyelet is only intended for tow- ing on roads – not for pulling vehicles fromditches or any similar purpose involvingsevere strain. Call a tow truck for profes-sional assistance.
Removing the towing eyelet–Unscrew the towing eyelet after use and return it to the foam block. Replace the cover on the bumper.

Recovery
This section refers to transporting the vehicle with a tow truck or similar vehicle.
Call a professional towing service for assis- tance. In certain conditions, the towing eyelet can be used to pull the vehicle onto a flatbed towtruck. The vehicle's location and ground clearance determine if it can be lifted onto a tow truck. Ifthe incline of the tow truck is too steep or ifthe ground clearance under the vehicle isinsufficient, attempting to pull it up may resultin damage. In this case, the vehicle shouldonly be lifted with the tow truck's lifting equip-ment.
WARNING
No person or object should be behind the tow truck when the vehicle is lifted ontothe bed of the truck.
CAUTION
The towing eyelet is only intended for tow- ing on roads, and must not be used to pull
vehicles from ditches or any similar pur-pose involving severe strain. Call a towtruck for professional assistance.

WHEELS AND TIRES
}}
* Option/accessory.535
CAUTION
When not in use, the jack
* should be
kept in its storage compartment under the cargo compartment floor.
The jack provided with your vehicle isintended to be used only in temporarysituations such as changing wheels inthe event of a flat tire. Only the jackthat came with your particular modelshould be used to lift the vehicle. If thevehicle needs to be lifted more fre-quently or for a prolonged period, usinga garage jack or hoist is recommended.Always follow this device's instructionsfor use.
Removing a wheelRead through all instructions before starting. Before raising the vehicle using a jack or lift,take out all the tools you will need.
1. Turn on the vehicle's hazard warning
flashers if a wheel change must be per- formed in an area with traffic.
2. Make sure that the parking brake is engaged and put the gear selector in P
position.
3. Place chocks in front of and behind the wheels that are still on the ground. Forexample, use heavy wooden blocks orlarge stones. 4. Using the lug wrench, screw the towing
eye into place as far as possible.
5. Remove the plastic covers from the wheelbolts using the designated tool.
6. With the vehicle still on the ground, use the lug wrench/towing eye to loosen the wheel bolts ½-1 turn by pressing down-ward (counterclockwise). Always start with the locking wheel bolts *.
7. Follow the instructions for safely lifting the vehicle using a jack.
8. Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be changed can move freely. Unscrew the wheel bolts and lift off the wheel.
Installing a wheel1. Clean the contact surfaces between thewheel and the wheel hub. 2. Lift the wheel into place. Tighten the
wheel bolts securely. Do not grease the wheel bolt threads.
3. Lower the vehicle so that the wheel can- not rotate.
4. Tighten the wheel bolts in a crisscross pat- tern (as shown in illustration). It is impor- tant that the wheel bolts are securelytightened. Tighten to 140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.).Use a torque wrench to check torque.
5. Press the plastic covers over the wheelbolts.
6. Check the tire inflation pressure and store the new inflation pressure in the tire pres- sure monitoring system *.

WARNING
The wheel bolts may need to be tightened again several days after a wheel change.Temperature fluctuations and vibrationscan cause them to loosen slightly.
NOTE
After inflating a tire, always replace the valve cap to help prevent valve damagecaused by gravel, dirt, etc.
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal capscould corrode and become difficult toremove.

Spare wheel 14
The spare wheel is a Temporary Spare and can be used to temporarily replace a punc-tured tire on one of the vehicle's regularwheels.
The spare wheel is only intended for tempo- rary use. Replace it with a normal wheel assoon as possible. The driving characteristics of the vehicle change and ground clearance reduces whenthe spare wheel is used. Do not wash the vehi-cle in an automatic car wash while using theTemporary Spare. The recommended tire pressure must be maintained regardless of at which position thetemporary spare wheel is used on the vehicle. If the spare wheel is damaged, a replacement can be purchased from a Volvo retailer.
WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" wheel other than as atemporary replacement for a puncturedtire. It must be replaced as soon as possi-ble by a standard tire. Roadholding andhandling may be affected with the "Tempo-rary Spare" wheel in use.
WARNING
Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) with a spare tire mounted onthe vehicle.
The vehicle must never be driven withmore than one "Temporary Spare"wheel mounted.
Driving with a spare wheel may alterthe driving characteristics of the vehi-cle. Replace the spare wheel with anormal wheel as soon as possible.
The spare wheel is smaller than thenormal wheel, which affects the vehi-cle's ground clearance. Watch for highcurbs and do not wash the vehicle inan automatic car wash when a sparewheel is mounted.
Follow the manufacturer's recom-mended tire inflation pressure for thespare wheel.
On all-wheel drive vehicles, the driveon the rear axle can be disconnected.
If the spare wheel is mounted on thefront axle, snow chains must not beused.
The spare wheel must not be repaired.
