Inserting the towball arm
The towball arm may only
be inserted when
completely unlocked.
• Pull out the plug.
• Insert the towball arm vertically
and press it upwards until it
engages. (Do not hold your hand
near the handwheel.)
• The towball arm locks
automatically. The green area must
align with the white mark.
• To lock: Turn the key in a
clockwise direction and remove the
key.
• Cover the lock with the
protective cap.
Driving with a trailer
Before starting your journey,
ensure the towball arm is properly
locked. Check:
• The alignment of the green area
with the white mark.
• The handwheel is correctly fitted
to the towball arm.
• The key has been removed.
• Secure positioning of the towball
arm. (Must remain perfectly in
place when jerked.)
If any of the above
conditions cannot be met,
do not use the tow bar and have it
inspected by a dealer.
