tear-off rope must sag against the vehicle in all
trailer positions.
Uncoupling
Uncoupling takes place in reverse order.
Power supply of the trailer power network
In the electrical connection between the vehicle and
trailer, the trailer is powered by the vehicle.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the vehicle electronics!
The total power consumption of all consumers con-
nected to the trailer power supply must not exceed
350 watts.
Troubleshooting
When inserting the tow bar - the operating lever
did not turn or the release pin did not come out
›
Turn the control lever all the way down.
›
Remove the tow bar from the mounting recess.
›
Clean the tow bar and mounting recess contact
surfaces.
When removing the tow bar - the tow bar did not
fall freely into your hand after detachment

Technical data
Maximum vertical load for trailer operation
The maximum vertical load for trailer operation de-
pends on the engine type and the vehicle equipment.
The valid specification for your vehicle can be found
in the technical vehicle documentation, (e.g. vehicle
approval documentation, COC document) or at a
ŠKODA partner.
Other information (e.g. on the nameplate of the trail-
er device) merely provides information on the test
values of the device.

Support load with mounted accessories
When using the accessories (e.g. bicycle carrier), the
maximum length and the permissible total weight in-
cluding load must be considered.
The maximum length of the mounted accessories
(from the ball of the towing device) may not exceed
70 cm.
The permissible total weight of the installed acces-
sory, including its load, corresponds to the maximum
load on trailers.
This value applies if the centre of gravity is at a dis-
tance of no more than 30 cm from the towing device
ball head.
If the distance of the centre gravity of the load to
the ball head of the towing device is greater than
30 cm, then the max. permissible total weight of the
accessory, including its load, decreases (e.g. at a dis-
tance of 60 cm from the ball head, the permissible
weight decreases by half).
WARNING
Risk of an accident!
Do not exceed the maximum vertical load.
▶
The permissible trailer load and the weight of an-
▶
other accessory, e.g. of the bike carrier, is not to be
exceeded.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the trailer and the vehicle itself!
When using the accessory (e.g. bicycle carrier), ob-
▶
serve the maximum length and the permissible to-
tal weight of the accessory incl.
