206 Towing a trailer
WARNING
Make sure that the socket unit has closed off the mounting fixture
of the towing bracket properly. Otherwise the ball joint may fail to
engage securely if dirt accumulates in the mounting fixture.
Towing bracket (retrofitting)
If required, the vehicle can be retrofitted with a towing
bracket.
If a towing bracket is to be fitted after the car is purchased, this must
be done according to the instructions of the towing bracket manu-
facturer.
The securing points, which are marked by an
⇒ fig. 205 and ⇒ fig. 206, are located under the vehicle.
Audi dealers are familiar with the method of installation and any
modifications which may be required for the cooling system.
WARNING
If a towing bracket is retrofitted, the installation should be
carried out by a qualified workshop.
If the towing bracket is incorrectly fitted, this could cause a
safety risk.
For your own safety, please observe the instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the towing bracket.
Caution
If the connector socket is not fitted correctly, this could cause
damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
