Never attempt to push- or tow-start a vehicle with a dead battery. This would inject unburned fuel into the three-

way catalytic converter(s), causing overheating, backfiring, and damage. See page 119 for instructions on jump

starting the vehicle.

Having the car towed

Volvo recommends the use of flat bed equipment for towing vehicles with front wheel drive. If wheel lift equipment

must be used, please use extreme caution to help avoid damage to the vehicle.

In this case, the vehicle 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.

Sling-type equipment applied at the front will damage radiator and air conditioning lines.

It is equally important not to use slingtype equipment at the rear or apply lifting equipment inside the rear wheels;

serious damage to the rear axle may result.

If the vehicle is being towed on a flat bed truck, the towing eyelets must not be used to secure the vehicle on the flat

bed. Consult the tow truck operator.

WARNING!

The towing eyelets must not be used for pulling the vehicle out of a ditch or for any similar purpose involving

severe strain.

Do not use the towing eyelets to pull the vehicle up onto a flat bed tow truck.

pg. 119 Starting and driving

Jump starting

Follow these instructions to jump start your vehicle's dead battery or to jump start another vehicle's dead battery using

your vehicle. If the 12-volt auxiliary battery to be used is in another vehicle, check that the vehicles are not touching to

prevent premature completion of a circuit. Be sure to follow jump starting instructions provided for the other vehicle.

To jump start your vehicle:

Switch off the ignition.

First connect the auxiliary battery positive (+) terminal (1) to the positive (+) terminal in your vehicle's battery (2),

marked with a "+" sign.

Connect the auxiliary battery's negative (-) terminal (3) to the ground point in your vehicle's engine compartment

near the driver's side spring strut (4).

Start the engine in the assisting vehicle, then start the engine in the vehicle with dead battery.
