- Fig. 2 Area below rear bumper: Connecting socket -A-, safety cable attachment -B-
Applies to vehicles: with removable towing bracket
Safety check
Check that the green marking -6- Fig. 1 on the knob is inside the green zone on the ball joint.
Check that the knob is directly against the ball joint, so that there is no gap -7- between the knob and the ball joint.
Check that the ball joint is locked and the key is removed (so that the knob cannot be pulled out).
Check that the ball joint fits tightly in the mounting fixture (try moving it about to check).
Electrical socket for trailer
To plug in the electrical connection for the trailer, pull down the connecting socket below the bumper -A- Fig. 2.
Safety cable attachment*
When you hitch a trailer up to your vehicle, hook the safety cable into the attachment provided1) -B- Fig. 2. If your vehicle does not have a safety cable attachment, loop the safety cable around the ball joint.
If the safety check is not satisfactory, the ball joint must be fitted again properly.
To avoid accidents, the ball joint must meet all the safety requirements listed in the safety check. The towing bracket must not be used if any one of these requirements is not met. Please contact a qualified workshop.
