Volvo XC90: Starting and driving / Loading the bicycle holder
The greater the distance between the load and the bicycle holder, the greater
the load on the hitch and on the vehicle.
Keep the following points in mind:
- Mount the heaviest bicycle closest to the vehicle.
- If possible, mount the bicycles symmetrically, as close as possible to the
center of the vehicle.
- Remove loose objects from the bicycle, such as baskets, batteries or child
seats. This will help reduce the load on the hitch and the bicycle holder.
- Do not place a cover over the bicycle as this could lead to increased load
on the hitch.

The retractable hitch is designed to be used to tow a trailer or mount a bicycle
holder. The hitch can be easily retracted or extended as needed...
(Option/accessory.)
Volvo recommends the use of Volvo towbars that are specially designed for
