Towing by tow truck
When necessary, call for professional help from an authorized towing company. Volvo recommends the use of flat bed equipment.
Important
In certain conditions, the towing eyelet may be used to pull the vehicle onto a flatbed tow truck.
- The vehicle's position and ground clearance determine if it can be pulled up onto a flatbed tow truck using the towing eyelet.
- If the angle of the tow truck’s ramp is too steep or the ground clearance under the vehicle is insufficient, damage could occur by attempting to pull the vehicle using the towing eyelet.
- If necessary, lift the vehicle using the tow truck’s lifting device.
Warning
No person or object should be behind the tow truck while the vehicle is being pulled up onto the flatbed.
Important
- The vehicle should always be towed in the forward direction.
- Vehicles with All Wheel Drive (AWD)* that are being towed with the front wheels off the ground should not be towed at a speed above approx. 45 mph (70 km/h) and should not be towed farther than 30 miles (50 km).
