How to Use The Volvo Retractable Trailer Hitch
The Volvo retractable towbar (also known as the retractable/foldable trailer hitch) is a straightforward accessory to use.
Firstly, there are a few safety precautions to keep in mind.
Do not stand around the center of your vehicle's bumper while folding out the trailer hitch, ensure that it is securely locked in place before using it to tow, and do not kick the trailer hitch.
So, once you have your retractable towbar installed by an authorized Volvo dealership, you'll be able to fold and unfold it with the press of a button. In both Volvo XC60 and Volvo XC90 SUVs, a diagram of the Volvo retractable hitch will be shown on the button, and the button will be located on the right-hand side of your cargo compartment, towards the tailgate opening.
Press this button and quickly release (holding down the button may stop the folding process).
A constant orange light on the button will indicate that the towbar is currently folding out. Once the towbar folds out, the button's light will flash to show that it is ready to be locked into place.
You will need to manually move the towbar away from the vehicle to lock it, and once you do, the light will stay on to indicate that your Volvo foldable towbar has been locked.
You are now ready to tow.
To fold the retractable towbar away, press the same button as you did to unfold it.
The button's light will flash to indicate that the towbar has been unlocked. Once unlocked, you will need to push the towbar back under the button. From there, it will lock into place, and the button's light will steadily illuminate to indicate that the towbar is locked into place.
Your Volvo XC60 Retractable Hitch Options
For your Volvo XC60, there are four Volvo retractable trailer hitch options. All options have the same function and style.
The first factor when making your choice is whether your Volvo XC60 is equipped with available air suspension; two options are designed for use with this air suspension system, and two options are not.
The second factor in choosing your retractable trail hitch is whether your vehicle is equipped with the accessory exterior styling kit. Two options are designed for installation with the kit's rear skid plate and rear bumper with dual tailpipes; two options are not.
Determine which option fits your vehicle by looking for the "Volvo retractable trailer hitch for cars with/without air suspension and with/without accessory styling kit" label as you browse our accessories catalog.
Your Volvo XC90 Retractable Hitch Options
Like the Volvo retractable trailer hitch for a Volvo XC60, the first factor when making your choice is whether your Volvo XC90 is equipped with the available air suspension system. Unlike the Volvo XC60 options, though, there are only two retractable towbars options; choose between "Volvo XC90 retractable trailer hitch with/without air suspension."
Making Full Use of Your Volvo Foldable Towbar Hitch
The specific details will vary between Volvo retractable trailer hitch options; contact us for full details for your selected foldable towbar.
Typically, though, you will need to install a separate genuine Volvo 2-inch ball hitch and ball holder to tow a trailer with this towbar. As well, a separate 7/4-pin adapter will typically be required for trailer towing.
Trailering is just one possibility; a bike rack is another. You'll be able to fit a four-bike bike carrier that weighs up to 200 lbs with your retractable towbar.
If you decide to tow, you'll find that a new Volvo XC60 provides a towing capacity of up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped, and a new Volvo XC90 gives you a towing capacity of up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped.
