•
When starting on a hill, put the gear selec-
tor in D before releasing the parking brake.
•
If you use the manual (Geartronic) shift
positions while towing a trailer, make sure
the gear you select does not put too much
strain on the engine (using too high a gear).
•
The drawbar assembly/trailer hitch may be
rated for trailers heavier than the vehicle is
designed to tow. Please adhere to Volvo's
recommended trailer weights.
Leveling
If your vehicle is equipped with automatic lev-
eling, the rear suspension always retains the
correct ride height regardless of the load.
When the vehicle is stationary, the rear sus-
pension lowers, which is normal.
