WARNING
An improperly installed or unsuitable tow hitch can damage the
natural gas reservoir of the vehicle in an accident and thus deep-
en the consequences of the accident or cause fatal injuries.
Due to the specific structure of the vehicles with natural gas
▶
reservoirs, we recommend using only the original ŠKODA tow
hitch. With these accessories, ŠKODA stands for safety, relia-
bility and suitability for this vehicle type.
We recommend that all related assembly work be carried out
▶
by ŠKODA service partners.

▶

bar. The tow bar could be unlocked.
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
Handle the trailer coupling carefully.
▶
When swinging out the tow bar, do not stand in the middle
▶
area of the rear bumper.
