Active Yaw Control (AYC) - DSTC only
This function helps maintain directional stability, for example when cor\
nering, by braking one or more
of the wheels if the vehicle shows a tendency to skid or slide laterally\
.
R-models only
The AYC function can be deactivated. This is done by pressing the DSTC b\
utton on the center control
panel (see the illustration on page 50) for approximately one second. \
This procedure must be repeated 5
times, after which "DSTC REDUCED FUNCTION" will be displayed in the text\
window. AYC will be
automatically reactivated the next time the ignition is switched on.
The indicator light in the DSTC button will be off.
WARNING!
The car's handling and stability characteristics will be altered if the \
STC or DSTC system functions
have been disabled.
STC/DSTC-related messages in the text window
l "TRACTION CONTROL TEMPORARILY OFF" - The system has been temporarily swi\
tched off

Trailer towing does not normally present any particular problems, but ta\
ke into consideration:
l Increase tire pressure to recommended full. See section "Wheels and tire\
s."
l When your vehicle is new, avoid towing heavy trailers during the first 6\
20 miles (1000 km).
l Recommended hitch tongue load is: Trailer weights below 2,650 lbs (1,200 kg) - 110 lbs (50 kg)
Trailer weights above 2,650 lbs (1,200 kg) - 165 lbs (75 kg)
l Maximum speed when towing a trailer: 50 mph (80 km/h).
l Engine and transmission are subject to increased loads. Therefore, engin\
e coolant temperature should
be closely watched when driving in hot climates or hilly terrain. Use a \
lower gear and turn off the air
conditioner if the temperature gauge needle enters the red range.
l If the automatic transmission begins to overheat, a message will be disp\
layed in the text window.
l Avoid overload and other abusive operation.
l Hauling a trailer affects handling, durability, and economy.
l It is necessary to balance trailer brakes with the towing vehicle brakes\
to provide a safe stop (check
and observe state/ local regulations).
l Do not connect the trailer's brake system directly to the vehicle's brak\
e system.
l More frequent vehicle maintenance is required.
l Remove the ball and drawbar assembly when the hitch is not being used.
l Volvo recommends the use of synthetic engine oil when towing a trailer o\
ver long distances or in
mountainous areas.
WARNING!
l Bumper-attached trailer hitches must not be used on Volvos, nor should s\
afety chains be attached
to the bumper.
l Trailer hitches attaching to the vehicle rear axle must not be used.
l Never connect a trailer's hydraulic brake system directly to the vehicle\
brake system, nor a trailer's
lighting system directly to the vehicle lighting system. Consult your ne\
arest authorized Volvo retailer
for correct installation.
l When towing a trailer, the trailer's safety wire must be correctly faste\
ned to the hole or hook
provided in the trailer hitch on the vehicle. The safety wire should nev\
er be fastened to or wound
around the drawbar ball.
NOTE:
l When parking the vehicle with a trailer on a hill, apply the parking bra\
ke before putting the gear
selector in (P)ark (first/ reverse gear on manual transmissions).

wording of this message is determined by the degree of inflation pressur\
e loss.
NOTE: If a fault occurs in TPMS, the tire pressure warning light will flash f\
or approximately 1 minute
and TIRE PRESS SYST SERVICE REQUIRED will be displayed.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthl\
y when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicl\
e placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the\
size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire i\
nflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire p\
ressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more \
of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, \
you should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driv\
ing on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. \
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling an\
d stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenanc\
e, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflatio\
n has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to\
indicate when the system is
not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with \
the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for appro\
ximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subseq\
uent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated\
, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may oc\
cur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels o\
n the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction tellta\
le after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or a\
lternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTE:
l TPMS indicates low tire pressure but does not replace normal tire mainte\
nance. For information on
correct tire pressure, please refer to the tables on
pages 160 and 161, or consult your Volvo retailer.
