Note
After coupling the trailer and connecting the power socket, check that the
■
rear lights on the trailer are working correctly.
If there is an error in the trailer lighting, check the fuses in the fuse box in
■
the dash panel » page 216.
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.
