Towing eyelet
When used, the towing eyelet should always be
securely attached in the openings on the right
side of the front and rear bumpers. There are
covers over these attachment points.
Using the towing eyelet
Take out the towing eyelet, which is stored
under the floor in the cargo compartment.
Remove the cover by pressing the mark with
a finger and folding out the opposite side/
corner with a coin, small screwdriver, etc.
> The cover turns along its center line and
then be removed.
3. Screw the towing eyelet into place, first by
hand and then using the tire iron, etc. until it
has been screwed in as far as possible.
After use, the eyelet should be removed and
returned to its storage location.
Reinsert the cover into the bumper.

Towing recommendations
Always check with state and local authorities
before attempting to tow another vehicle
because this type of towing is subject to regula-
tions regarding maximum towing speed, length
and type of towing device, lighting, etc.
Towing your vehicle behind another
vehicle
The XC90 T8 Twin Engine Plug-in Hybrid may
not be towed behind another vehicle. Doing so
would damage the electric motor and the three-
way catalytic converter. If the vehicle cannot be
driven and must be moved, it must be lifted onto
a flat-bed tow truck.
If the XC90 T8 Twin Engine Plug-in Hybrid is to
tow (pull) another vehicle, select the
AWD drive
mode. This helps charge the hybrid battery and
improves the vehicle's road holding characteris-
tics.
