Deploying the towbar
The towbar can be used for connecting trailers or carrying objects such as bike racks. For safety reasons, it is important to carefully follow the instructions for using the towbar.
On the right-hand side of the boot's interior, you will find a small touch panel. When the towbar is available for use, the towbar symbol on the panel illuminates.
Warning
Do not press the extend/retract button if anything is attached to the towbar.
Do not stand too closely to the middle rear of the car during towbar deployment.
To use the towbar, press the touch panel.
This releases the towbar from its position.
When the towbar is loose and waiting to be manually adjusted to its end position, the symbol on the touch panel flashes.
When the towbar is unlocked, wait a few seconds before placing it into the locked position.
If the towbar does not remain locked, wait a few seconds before trying again.
Manually pull the towbar to its end position.
Retracting the towbar
Important
Make sure there is no plug or adaptor in the electrical socket when retracting the towbar.
To retract the towbar, press the touch panel. This releases the towbar from its position.
When the towbar is loose and waiting to be manually adjusted to its end position, the symbol on the touch panel flashes.
Manually push the towbar to its end position.
Important
If there appears to be any functional problems with the towbar, do not attempt to resolve the problem yourself. An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended for any repairs or servicing. Contact Volvo support to schedule an appointment.
