The towing eye may be used to pull the car up onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed platform.The car's position and ground clearance deter-mine whether it is possible. If the slope of the recovery vehicle's ramp is too steep, or if the ground clearance under the car isinadequate, then the car may be damaged if youtry to pull it up using the towing eye. If necessary, raise the car by using the recovery vehicle's lifting device. Do not use the towing eye.
WARNING
No one/nothing is allowed to remain behind the recovery vehicle while the car pulled uponto the flatbed platform.
IMPORTANT
The towing eye is only designed for towing on roads -
not for pulling the car unstuck or out
of a ditch. Call a recovery service for recovery assistance.

Towing
During towing, one vehicle pulls another vehicle along behind it by means of a towline.
Find out the statutory maximum speed limit for towing before the towing begins.
Preparations and towing1. Activate the car's hazard warning flashers.
2. Secure the towline in the towing eye.
3. Deactivate the steering lock by unlocking the car.
NOTE
In ignition position II the steering lock is
deactivated if the car has been unlocked. See section “Ignition position” for more informa-tion.
4. Set the car in ignition position II by turning
the ignition dial to START and holding the
ignition dial in the START position for
approx. 4 seconds. Then release the knob, which automatically returns to its startingposition.
5. Move the gear selector to neutral position N
and release the parking brake.
> The towing vehicle can now start towing. 6. Keep the towline taut when the towing vehi-
cle reduces speed by holding your foot gen- tly pressed on the brake pedal - therebyavoiding unnecessary jerking.
7. Be prepared to brake to stop.
IMPORTANT
Note that the car must always be towed with the wheels rolling forward. • Do not tow cars with automatic transmis- sion at speeds higher than 80 km/h(50 mph) or for distances in excess of 80km.
WARNING
•Check that the steering lock is unlocked before towing.
• Ignition position
II must be active - in
ignition position I all airbags are deacti-
vated.
• Always keep the remote control key in thecar when it is being towed.
WARNING
The brake servo and power steering do not work when the engine is switched off - thebrake pedal needs to be depressedabout 5 times more heavily and the steering isconsiderably heavier than normal.

General information on the tyre monitoring system
In the information below, the tyre monitoring sys- tem is referred to generically as TPMS. Each tyre, including the spare tyre *, should be
checked once a month. When checking, the tyre should be cold and have the air pressure recom-mended by the car manufacturer specified on thetyre pressure label or in the tyre pressure table. Ifthe car has tyres of a different size than that rec-ommended by the manufacturer, find out whatthe correct air pressure level is for these. As an extra safety feature, the car is equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS),which shows when the air pressure in one ormore tyres is too low. When the indicator symbolfor low air pressure is lit, stop and check the tyresas soon as possible and inflate to the correct airpressure. Driving with tyres that have tyre pressure that is too low may cause the tyre to overheat, whichcan cause a puncture. Low tyre pressure alsoreduces fuel efficiency as well as tyre service life,and can affect car handling and stopping ability.Note that TPMS does not replace regular tyremaintenance. It is the driver's responsibility tomaintain correct tyre pressure, even if the limit forlow tyre pressure has not been reached so thatthe indicator symbol illuminates. The car is also equipped with a TPMS system fault indicator, which indicates when the system is not functioning correctly. The TPMS systemfault indicator is combined with the indicator sym-bol for low tyre pressure. When the systemdetects a fault, the symbol in the driver displaywill flash for about one minute and then remainilluminated. This procedure will be repeated whenthe car is started until the fault has been rectified.When the symbol is illuminated, the system's abil-ity to detect or warn of low tyre pressure may beaffected. A TPMS system fault can occur for several rea- sons, such as after changing to a spare tyre, orchanging tyres or wheels that prevent TPMS fromfunctioning correctly. Always check the indicator symbol for TPMS after changing one or more tyres in order toensure the new tyre or wheel is working correctlywith TPMS.
Messages in the driver displayThe following messages may be shown when theindicator symbol is illuminated:
•
Tyre pressure low Check tyres, calibrate
after fill
•Tyre pressure system Temporarily
unavailable
•Tyre pressure system Service required.
If the system cannot determine which tyre has low pressure, all four tyres will be indicated in thecentre display.
To bear in mind
• Always calibrate the system after a wheelchange or tyre pressure adjustment. See thetyre pressure label on the driver's side doorpillar for Volvo's recommended tyre pres-sures.
• The system does not replace normal tyremaintenance.
• There is no option to deactivate ITPMS.

Calibrating tyre monitoring *
In order for the Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (ITPMS) to work correctly, a referencevalue for the tyre pressure must be determined.This must be performed each time the tyres arechanged or the tyre pressure is changed.
For example, when driving with a heavy load or at high speed above 160 km/h (100 mph), the tyrepressure should be adjusted in accordance withVolvo's recommended tyre pressure values. Fol-lowing which, the system must be recalibrated.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Inflate the tyres to the desired pressure in accordance with the tyre pressure label on the door pillar on the driver's side.
3. Start the engine. 4.
Open the
Car status app in the app view.
5.Tap on Status to view tyre monitoring.
NOTE
The car must be stationary when calibration is started.
6.Press Calibrate.
7. Tap on
OK to confirm that the tyre pressure
in all four tyres has been checked and adjusted. 8. Drive the car.
Calibration is performed while the car is driv-ing. Calibration is interrupted temporarily ifthe engine is switched off, but is resumedautomatically when the car is driven again.
> When sufficient data has been collectedto enable the system to detect low tyre pressure, the tyres in the centre displaychange colour from grey to green. Thesystem provides no additional confirma-tion that the calibration is complete. If calibration fails, a message is shown:
Calibration unsuccessful. Please try again..
NOTE
Remember that the TPMS system must be recalibrated at each tyre change or if the tyrepressure is adjusted. New reference valuesmust be stored for the system to work cor-rectly.

Data transmission between car and workshop6
The time required for a booked visit to a Volvo workshop can be shortened by transmitting trou-bleshooting data as soon as the car stops at theworkshop. The data can be transmitted most conveniently by selecting the option
Automatically connect
when I arrive in settings view in the centre dis-
play.
Each time the car slows to a slow enough speed it starts searching for a Wi-Fi network. If anauthorised Volvo network (at a workshop) isfound, a message is displayed or a pop-up win-dow opens in the centre display. (This does notapply when you connect manually, see the sec-tion "Connecting to a workshop manually"below).
Connecting to a workshop automatically
NOTE
To avoid the driver being disturbed by unwan- ted connection inquiries (for example, if thecar is often parked in the neighbourhood of aworkshop with an authorised Volvo network),the connection mode will change to manual ifthe driver declines connection twice within aperiod of 5 days.
Without driver confirmation
This option provides the most convenient way of transmitting troubleshooting data. The car con-nects without the need for the driver to confirm. If the car stops at the workshop and is switched off with the start knob, a message is shown atthe top in the centre display. The car will connectautomatically when the driver

Starter battery
The electrical system is single-pole and uses the chassis and engine casing as a conductor. The starter battery is used to start up the electri- cal system and drive the starter motor as well asother electrical equipment in the car. The starter battery should be replaced by a workshop 13
.
The car has a voltage-regulated AC alternator. The starter battery is a 12 V AGM battery, designed for the carbon dioxide reducing func-tions, Start/Stop and regenerative charging, andto support the functionality of the car's differentsystems. The service life and function of the starter battery is influenced by factors such as the number ofstarts, discharging, driving style, driving condi-tions, climatic conditions etc. • Never disconnect the starter battery when the engine is running.
• Check that the cables to the starter batteryare correctly connected and properly tight-ened.
WARNING
•
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. A spark canbe formed if a jump lead is connectedincorrectly, and this can be enough forthe battery to explode.
• The battery contains sulphuric acid, whichcan cause serious burns.
• If sulphuric acid comes into contact witheyes, skin or clothing, flush with largequantities of water. If acid splashes intothe eyes - seek medical attention imme-diately.
When connecting an external starter battery orbattery charger, use the car's charging points inthe engine compartment. The battery terminalson the car's starter battery in the cargo area must not be used.
During charging, both the starter battery and the support battery are charged.
13 An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
