Towing bracket/Towbar*
A towing bracket means that it is possible to e.g. tow a trailer behind the car.
If the car is equipped with a detachable/removable towbar, the installation instructions for the loose section must be followed carefully, see Detachable towbar* - attachment/removal.
Warning
If the car is fitted with a Volvo detachable towbar:
- Follow the installation instructions carefully.
- The detachable section must be locked with the key before setting off.
- Check that the indicator window shows green.
Important checks
- The towbar's towball must be cleaned and greased regularly.
Note
When a hitch with a vibration damper is used, the towball must not be lubricated.
This also applies when fitting a bicycle rack that is clamped in around the towball.
Winch for towing bracket
A winch is to be mounted on the towing bracket. The winch receives its power supply via the trailer connector and must only be used when the engine is running.
Max permitted power consumption for the winch is 20 A.
