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.
Always comply with the maximum authorised
load on the towing device: if it is exceeded,
this device may become detached from the
vehicle - risk of an accident!
Before driving, check the headlamp height
adjustment and check that the lamps on the
trailer operate correctly.
For more information on Headlamp height
adjustment, refer to the corresponding
section.
After use
When travelling without a trailer or
load carrier, remove the towball and fit the
protective plug into the carrier, to provide
clear visibility of the number plate and/or its
lighting.
