Towing using a towlineThis section refers to one vehicle being towed behind another using a towline.
Before towing another vehicle, check applicable speed limit regulations.
Preparations and towing
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 air-
bags are deactivated in ignition mode I.
• Always have the remote key in the vehicle 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 more effortthan normal. 1. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
2. Attach the towline to the towing eyelet.3.
Put the vehicle in ignition mode II – without
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 parking brake.Connect an auxiliary battery to the vehicle ifthe battery is discharged.
> The towing vehicle can now start driving.
5. Keep the towline taut when the towing vehi- cle slows down by applying light pressure to the brake pedal. This will help avoid jarringmovements.
6. Be prepared to apply the brakes to stop the vehicle.
Jump startingDo not tow the vehicle to start the engine. Use anauxiliary battery if the start battery's charge levelis so low that the engine cannot be started.
CAUTION
Attempting to tow with the engine running could result in damage to the three-way cata-lytic converter.

No or poor Internet connection Factors affecting the Internet connection.
The amount of data transmitted depends on the services or apps currently in use in the vehicle.Streaming music, for example, involves the trans-mission of a large amount of data, and thisrequires a good connection and a strong signal.
Phone to vehicleInternet connection speed may vary dependingon the location of the cellular phone in the vehi-cle. Move the phone closer to the center displayto increase signal strength. Make sure that noth-ing is between the phone and center display thatcould be blocking the signal.
Phone to network operatorThe speed of the mobile network varies depend-ing on the coverage in the vehicle's current loca-tion. Coverage may be poorer in e.g. tunnels,mountainous areas, deep valleys or indoors. Con-nection speed is also dependent on the subscrip-tion you have with your service provider.
NOTE
If you experience any problems with data traf- fic, contact your network service provider.

The wheels can be changed, e.g. to switch to snow tires or spare tires. Follow the applicableinstructions for removing and installing thewheel.
Changing to tires of another dimensionMake sure that the tire dimension is approved for use on the vehicle. If you change to tires of another dimension, con- tact an authorized Volvo workshop to update thevehicle's software. A software update may benecessary when changing to tires of larger/smaller dimensions or when changing to or fromsnow tires.

Wheel bolts
The wheel bolts hold the wheel in place on the wheel hub.
CAUTION
The wheel bolts should be tightened to 140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.). Over-tightening orunder-tightening could damage the threadedjoints.
Only use rims that have been tested and approved by Volvo and are included in Volvo'soriginal product range. Use a torque wrench to check that the wheel bolts are tightened correctly. Do not grease the wheel bolt threads.
WARNING
The wheel bolts may need to be tightened again several days after a wheel change.Temperature fluctuations and vibrations cancause them to loosen slightly.
Locking wheel bolts *A tool for removing the locking wheel bolts is located in the foam block under the cargo com-partment floor.

WARNING
•The vehicle must never be driven with more than one "Temporary spare" tiremounted.
• Driving with a spare wheel may alter thedriving characteristics of the vehicle.Replace the spare wheel with a normalwheel as soon as possible.
• The spare wheel is smaller than the nor-mal wheel, which affects the vehicle'sground clearance. Watch for high curbsand do not wash the vehicle in an auto-matic car wash when a spare wheel ismounted.
• Follow the manufacturer's recommendedtire inflation pressure for the spare wheel.
• On all-wheel drive vehicles, the drive onthe rear axle can be disconnected.
• If the spare wheel is mounted on thefront axle, snow chains must not be used.
• The spare wheel must not be repaired.
CAUTION
The vehicle must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire otherthan the one that came with the vehicle. Theuse of different size wheels can seriouslydamage your vehicle's transmission.
This illustration is general. The shape and design of the foam block may vary depending on vehicle model.
The spare wheel is located in the spare wheel well with the outside of the wheel facing down-ward. The same bolt runs through both the sparewheel and foam block to hold them into place.The foam block contains all tools needed tochange a wheel.

Accessing the spare wheel
Follow these instructions regarding handling the spare wheel.
1. Lift the rear edge of the cargo compartment floor.
2. Unscrew the retaining bolt.
3. Lift out the foam block containing the tools.
4. Lift out the spare wheel.

CAUTION
Snow chains can be used on the vehicle, with the following restrictions:• Volvo recommends not using snowchains on wheel dimensions larger than18 inches.
• Always follow the manufacturer's installa-tion instructions carefully. Install chainsas tightly as possible and retighten peri-odically.
• Only put snow chains on the front wheels(also applies to all-wheel drive vehicles).
• If accessory, aftermarket or "custom"tires and wheels with different dimen-sions than the original tires and wheelsare used, snow chains in some casesmay NOT be used. Sufficient distancebetween the chains and brakes, suspen-sion and body components must bemaintained.
• Check local regulations regarding the useof snow chains before installing.
• Never exceed the snow chain manufac-turer's specified maximum speed limit.Under no circumstances should youexceed 50 km/h (30 mph).
• Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns whendriving with snow chains.
• Avoid driving on surfaces without snow as this wears out both the snow chains andthe tires.
• The handling of the vehicle can beadversely affected when driving withchains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as wellas locked wheel braking.
• Some types of strap-on chains affectbrake components and therefore mustNOT be used.
Consult a Volvo retailer for more information about snow chains.

Tire sealing system12
The temporary tire sealing system can be used to seal a puncture in a tire or to check andadjust the pressure in the tire. Models equipped with a spare wheel 13
do not
have the tire sealing system.
The tire sealing system consists of a compressor and a bottle containing sealing compound. Thesealing functions as a temporary repair.
NOTE
The sealing compound effectively seals tires with punctures in the tread but may not beable to fully seal tires with punctures in thesidewall. Do not use the tire sealing systemon tires with large tears, cracks or similardamage.
NOTE
The compressor is intended for temporary tire sealing and is approved by Volvo.
LocationThe tire sealing system is located in a foam block under the floor of the cargo compartment.
