changes to the cooling system may be nec-
essary, depending on the vehicle type.
If you have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted,
observe the anchorage points on the chas-

spectively without changing the electric
radiator fan and the cooling system com-
ponents, the braked and unbraked total
towing weight (trailer weight plus load
weight) is reduced to a maximum of 400 kg.
If higher towing weights are used, this can
result in damage to your vehicle's engine.
Any damage that may occur is not covered
by the warranty or the implied warranty.
Therefore, ensure that you always comply
with the maximum total towing weight
(max. 400 kg).
