Vehicle towing information
Towing cars with all wheel drive/front wheel
drive
Volvo recommends the use of flat bed equipment.
If wheel lift equipment must be used, please use extreme caution to help
avoid damage to the car. In this case, the car should be towed with
the rear wheels on the ground if at all possible.
If it is absolutely necessary to tow the vehicle with the front wheels on
the ground, please refer to the towing information on the previous page.CAUTION:
•The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions/
specifications or with a spare tire other than the one that came with
the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your
car's transmission.
•Sling-type equipment applied at the front will damage radiator and
air conditioning lines.
•It is equally important not to use sling-type equipment at the rear or
apply lifting equipment inside the rear wheels; serious damage to
the rear axle may result.
•If the car is being towed on a flat bed truck, the towing eyelets must
not be used to secure the car on the flat bed. Consult the tow truck
operator.
