Towing

During towing, one vehicle pulls another vehicle along behind it by means of a towline.

Towing the XC90 Twin Engine is not permitted since this damages the electric motor. When moving the car it must be transported raised up with all the wheels on a recovery vehicle's platform.

When towing another car

Towing a car requires a lot of energy - use the AWD drive mode. This then charges the hybrid battery, in combination with improving the car's driving characteristics and roadholding.

Find out the statutory maximum speed limit for towing before the towing begins.

Jump starting

Do not tow the car to jump start the engine. Use a donor battery if the starter battery is discharged and the engine does not start.

 Important

The electric drive motor and the catalytic converter may be damaged during attempts to tow-start the car.
