Towing bracket device
CAUTION
If anything is attached to the tow hitch ball,
do not, under any circumstances press the
button.
Never direct a high-pressure or steam
cleaning system directly at the tow hitch ball
or trailer power socket. This could cause
damage to seals or remove lubricating
grease.
Note
In extremely low temperatures, it is possible
that the tow hitch is not released. In this
case, place the vehicle in a warmer location
(e.g. a garage).
Installing a bicycle carrier to the tow
hitch
The maximum load permitted for a bicycle
carrier on the tow hitch ball is 75 kg
, with a
m
ax
imum distance of 30 cm from the sup-
port. The distance between supports is the
distance between the bicycle carrier centre of
gravity (with the bicycles) and the centre of
point of the tow hitch ball.
WARNING
The incorrect use of the tow hitch with a bicy-
cle carrier installed can cause accidents and
injury.
Never exceed the load and distances be-
tween supports indicated.
Never fit the bicycle carrier to the tow hitch
ball neck, underneath the tow hitch given
that the bicycle carrier may be incorrectly fit-
ted due to the shape of the tow hitch and the
model of bicycle carrier.
Always read and take the manufacturer as-
sembly instructions into account.
CAUTION
Exceeding the maximum load and distance
between supports indicated can cause con-
siderable damage to the vehicle.
Never exceed the specifications.
