WARNING
■
Take care with the towing device - it may cause injury.
■
When swinging out the ball rod away from the central area of the rear
bumper, there is a danger of injury to the legs.
■
Do not manipulate the switch while a trailer or another accessory is cou-
pled to the tow bar. The tow bar could come loose - risk of accident and
injury.
■
If the indicator light it supplied the switch does not light or flashes, or if
the tow bar can not engage, then do not use this. Seek help from a special-
ist garage.
Note
When not using the towing device, always swing the tow bar under the bump-
er.
Vertical load with mounted accessories
Read and observe on page 260 first.
When using the accessories (e.g. bicycle carrier), the maximum length and the
permissible total weight including load must be considered.
The maximum length of the mounted accessories (from the ball of the towing
device) may not exceed 70 cm.
The permissible total weight of the installed accessory, including its load, cor-
responds to the maximum trailer load on trailers.
If the maximum trailer load in trailer operation is more than 75 kg, then the
permissible total weight of the mounted accessories including their load must
not exceed 75 kg.
This value applies if the center of gravity is at a distance of no more than 30
cm from the towing device ball head.
If the distance of the centre gravity of the load to the ball head of the tow-
ing device is greater than 30 cm, then the max. permissible total weight of
the accessory, including its load, decreases (e.g. at a distance of 60 cm
from the ball head, the permissible weight decreases by half).
CAUTION
Never exceed the permissible total weight of the accessories incl. load and
maximum length of the accessories – There is a risk of damage to the towing
device.
Note
We recommend that you use accessories from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
