Practical information
During use
Never release the locking system with a
trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle – the Gross Train
Weight or GTW.
It is essential that the maximum
authorised load be complied with on
the towing device: if it is exceeded, this
device may detach from the vehicle,
which is a serious accident risk.
Check that the trailer lamps work
correctly.
Before setting off, check the adjustment
of the headlamp beam height.
For more information on Headlamp
adjustment, refer to the corresponding
section.
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load
on a towbar-mounted carrier, the towball
must be removed and the protective plug
inserted in the carrier. This measure
applies particularly where the towball
might obscure visibility of the number
plate or its lighting.
Fitting the towball
F Below the rear bumper, remove the
protective plug 2 from the towball carrier 1.
F Insert the end of towball 5 into carrier 1 and
push it upwards; the locking will take place
automatically.
F The locking wheel 6 turns a quarter of a
turn anti-clockwise; take care to keep your
hands clear!
F Check that the mechanism has correctly
locked in to place (position A).
F Close the lock 7 using the key.
