Geartronic
Hi,
I tow with a V70 D5 Geartronic, and basically put it into D and let it do the work. I make use of the kickdown for building up speed, and then back off so it settles into top. Its not often I feel the need to manually change gear, other than on a downward incline to help hold the speed, or to select the right gear in anticipation of overtaking. I see no reason your XC70 should be much different, and I get around 30mpg when towing. Gary |
