A towing bracket especially introduced for the North American market. With the electrically folding towbar, you do not have to stretch beneath the car to detach or remove the towbar. Pressing a button in the luggage compartment folds the towbar out. A simple hand movement positions the towbar in a locked position.

For increased safety there is a light indicator on the button that indicates that the towbar is locked. If the towbar is unlocked a warning message is shown in the car's combined instrument panel.

The trailer module manages the electronic communication between the vehicle and trailer.

With the help of the light control function in the car's display, the lamps on the trailer illuminate in a sequence which makes it easier to check the lighting.

If, when driving, there is a fault or problem with the trailer's direction indicators or brake lights, the trailer module immediately sends the driver information.

Volvo's Trailer Stability Assist technology (TSA) interacts with your Volvo's DSTC system1. If the trailer starts to sway back and forth at speeds in excess of 50 km/h, TSA can brake one or more wheels to regain stability and maintain control.

Each Volvo towbar has been designed for your Volvo. They are an integral part of the car's body and have been tested to ensure that they meet the most stringent safety and function demands.

Note!

The towbar is tested for the maximum towing weight and tow hitch load, but depending on the car version, it may be lower. For precise information, see the car's instruction manual or contact your local Volvo dealer.

Note!

Cannot be combined with hitch mounted accessories designed for 50 mm ball diameter.

Depending on trailer type, a 7/4-pin plug adapter is required. (Not included.)

Note!

The depth of the receiver is limited. The distance is 1,6 inches, measured from the centre of the hole for the locking pin to the bottom of the receiver.

The distance between the outer edge (mouth) of the hitch tube to the centre of the locking pin is 1,25 inches.

With Volvo’s bicycle holder for towbar hitch direct-mounted in the connection (rectangular profile), the total load capacity is limited to 200 lbs/4 bicycles.

Note!

It is not permitted to use the towbar together with a hitch weight distribution system. The towbar hitch is only designed to tow a trailer or fit a bicycle holder. For more information, see the owner's manual.

Note!

The chassis numbers for the Trailer Module - TRM - refer to structure week 23w46, when an updated version was introduced. This means that all vehicles manufactured after this week will need to be installed with the updated module.

The chassis number series (VIN) may vary depending on the car's place of manufacture. To identify your car's place of manufacture, refer to the 11th figure in your chassis number. This special digit or letter is unique to every factory and indicates which of Volvo's factories built your car. It is important to be aware that two cars with otherwise identical chassis numbers may have different origins based on this figure.
