WARNING
Never use the safety eyelet for towing!
■
Adapt your speed to the conditions of the road surface and to the traffic
■
situation.
Improper or incorrectly connected electrical installations can energise the
■
trailer and cause functional faults to the vehicle's entire electrical system
as well as accidents and severe injuries.
Work on the electrical system must only be carried out by specialist ga-
■
rages.
Never directly connect the trailer's electrical system with the electrical
■
connections for the tail lights or other current sources.
After coupling the trailer and connecting the power socket, check that
■
the rear lights on the trailer are working correctly.
Note
If there is an error in the trailer lighting, check the fuses in the fuse box in
■
the dash panel » page 207.
Contact between the breakaway cable and the safety eyelet can result in
■
mechanical wear on the surface protection of the eyelet. Such wear does not
impair the functioning of the safety eyelet and does not constitute a fault. It is
excluded from the warranty coverage.
If you tow a trailer frequently, you should also have your vehicle inspected
■
between service intervals.
The handbrake on the towing vehicle must be applied when coupling and un-
■
coupling the trailer.
