Volvo 2006 S60 Owner's Manual - Towing (Contd)
2006 Volvo S60
WARNING!
Remember that the power brakes and power steering will not function when engine is not running.
The braking and steering systems will function but the brake pedal pressure required is 3-4 times
above normal and greater steering effort must be exerted. The towing eyelets must not be used for
pulling another vehicle out of a ditch or for any similar purpose involving severe strain. Do not use
the towing eyelets to pull the car up onto a flat bed tow truck.
pg. 101 Starting and driving
Towing (contd)
Towing cars with front wheel drive/All Wheel Drive
Volvo recommends the use of flat bed equipment.
If wheel lift equipment must be used, please use extreme caution to help avoid damage to the car. In this
case, the car should be towed with the rear wheels on the ground if at all possible.
If it is absolutely necessary to tow the vehicle with the front wheels on the ground, please refer to the
towing information on the previous page.
CAUTION:
Sling-type equipment applied at the front will damage radiator and air conditioning lines
It is equally important not to use sling-type equipment at the rear or apply lifting equipment inside the
rear wheels; serious damage to the rear axle may result. If the car is being towed on a flat bed truck, the
towing eyelets must not be used to secure the car on the flat bed. Consult the tow truck operator.
