Brake assist system
The Brake Assist System (BAS) increases brak- ing force, thereby helping reduce braking dis-tance. The system monitors the driver's braking habits and increases braking force when necessary.Brake force can be increased up to the point atwhich the ABS system is activated. The functionis deactivated when pressure on the brake pedaldecreases.
NOTE
•When BAS is activated, the brake pedal will go down farther than usual. Depressthe pedal as long as necessary.
• Braking will stop when the pedal isreleased.

Braking effect after a collision
In the event of a collision in which the airbags or seat belt pretensioners deploy or if a collisionwith an animal is detected, the vehicle's brakesare applied to help prevent or mitigate a secon-dary collision.
Maintaining control of the vehicle after a collision may be difficult. To help avoid or mitigate theeffect of a secondary collision, the brakes areapplied automatically to help bring the vehicle toa stop. The brake lights and hazard warning flashers will be activated and the flashers will remain on afterthe vehicle has come to a standstill. The parkingbrake will then be applied automatically. In a situation where stopping the vehicle may not be desirable, the driver can override this systemby pressing the accelerator pedal. This feature can only function if the brake system is intact after the collision.

Towing recommendations
Always check with state and local authorities before attempting to tow another vehiclebecause this type of towing is subject to regula-tions regarding maximum towing speed, lengthand type of towing device, lighting, etc.
Towing your vehicle behind another
vehicle
1. After securely attaching the towing line to both vehicles, put the gear selector in posi- tion N and release the parking brake.
2. Put the ignition in mode II by turning the
start knob to START (without depressing
the brake pedal) and hold it in this position
for approx. 4 seconds. Release the knob.
3. Put the gear selector in position N and
release the parking brake.
4. The towing vehicle can now begin driving.
5. Keep the tow rope taut when the towing vehicle slows down by applying light pressure on the brake pedal. This will help prevent jar-ring movements of the vehicle being towed.
6. Be prepared to apply the brakes to stop the vehicle being towed.
CAUTION
General towing precautions:
• If the vehicle's battery is dead, an auxiliary battery will be necessary to provide cur-rent for releasing the electric parkingbrake and to move the gear selector from the
P position to N. If this is not possible,
use the shiftlock override procedure tomanually release the gear selector from P
and move it to N.
• Maximum speed: 50 mph (80 km/h). Do not exceed the maximum allowable tow-ing speed.
• Maximum distance with front wheels onground: 50 miles (80 km).
• The vehicle should only be towed in theforward direction.
WARNING
• When the vehicle is being towed, the igni- tion should be in mode
II (in mode I, all of
the vehicle's airbags are deactivated).
• The remote key must remain inside the vehicle.
• The power brakes and power steering willnot function when the engine is not run-ning. Approximately 5 times more pres-sure will be required on the brake pedaland the steering wheel will be considera-bly harder to turn.
• The towing eyelets must not be used forpulling the vehicle out of a ditch or forany similar purpose involving severestrain.

Volvo On Call (VOC) *
VOC is an integrated, subscription-based sys-
tem that provides emergency, roadside assis- tance and security services.
VOC is connected to the vehicle's airbag and alarm systems. The vehicle has an integratedGlobal System for Mobile Communications(GSM) module that handles communicationbetween the vehicle and the VOC customer serv-ice center.
AvailabilityVOC uses the Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS) to locate the vehicle and its integratedGSM module to enable communication with theVOC customer service center and the VOCmobile app. From the time that the remote key has been removed from the vehicle, VOC's functionsremain available for 5 full days and subsequentlyonce an hour for the following 17 days. Afterthree weeks have elapsed, the system will remainswitched off until the engine is started.
WARNING
The system can only function in areas where there is adequate cellular network coverage. Just as in the case of cell phones, atmos- pheric disturbances or areas with relativelyfew GSM transmitters can make it impossiblefor VOC to make a connection, for example, inrural areas.
SubscriptionsA free, limited-time trial subscription is initiated when the vehicle is purchased and VOC is acti-vated. The subscription can be extended by con-tacting your Volvo retailer.
