DETACHABLE TOW BALL

WARNINGS
Never leave the detached tow ball
arm unsecured inside the vehicle.
This would increase the risk of injury
in an accident.
When not in use, always transport
the tow ball arm securely fastened
in the luggage compartment.
Take special care when fitting the
tow ball arm as the safety of the
vehicle and the trailer depends on
this.
A 13-pin trailer socket and the tow ball arm
seat are provided underneath the rear
bumper. Turn the trailer socket down
through 90 degrees until it engages in the
correct position.
