WARNING
An improperly installed or unsuitable trailer hitch can cause the trailer to separate from the towing
vehicle and result in a major accident with serious personal injuries.
Have any trailer hitch retrofit or other work on a trailer hitch done by a qualified workshop.
CAUTION
The ball mount sticks out behind the rear bumper and can cause injury to pedestrians and
cyclists.
To reduce the risk of injury in rear-end collisions, and the risk to pedestrians and cyclists when
the vehicle is parked, always remove the ball carrier when you are not towing a trailer.
NOTE
Never use a ball larger than 2 inches (50.8mm) on your vehicle. The vehicle was not designed
to tow heavier trailers with a receiver larger than the specified ball. The increased loads can
damage the attachment points for the trailer hitch.
Never use an adapter to increase the size of the trailer hitch receiver from 2inches (50.8mm)
to more to tow a trailer that is heavier than the maximum permissible trailer weight that your
vehicle can tow.
You can use an adapter if required for the proper installation of a bicycle rack or other similar
carrier as long as the maximum weight limits are observed. When using bicycle racks or simi‐
lar carriers, make sure that the rear lights are not blocked.
Only use trailer hitches that are approved by the hitch manufacturer for your vehicle and
model.
