- Fig. 1 Removable towing bracket: Safety check
- Fig. 2 Area below rear bumper: Connecting socket -A-, eye for safety cable -B-
Applies to Audi A3s: with removable towing bracket
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).
To plug in the electrical connection for the trailer, swivel the connecting socket down from underneath the bumper -A- Fig. 2.
When you hitch a trailer up to your Audi A3, hook the safety cable into the eye on the towing bracket -B- Fig. 2.
If the safety check is not satisfactory, the ball joint must be fitted again properly.
To avoid accidents, the towing bracket must not be used if any one of the requirements listed above is not met. If this is the case, the ball joint must be fitted again properly ►Link. Please contact a qualified workshop in the event of a technical fault.
Note
The eye -B- on the towing bracket is intended only for securing the safety cable of the trailer.
