Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted by verifying the following points:
- the towball is correctly locked in place (position A),
- the security key lock is on and the key removed; the locking wheel can no longer be
operated,
- the towball must no longer move at all in its carrier; try to shake it by hand.
During use
Never unlock the towball when a trailer or load carrier is fitted.
Never exceed the maximum authorised weight for the vehicle plus trailer (gross train
Weight - gtW).
Before driving, check the adjustment of the headlamp beam height.
For more information on adjusting the headlamps, refer to the corresponding section.
After use
For journeys made without a trailer or load carrier, the trailer harness socket must be folded
away, the towball removed and the protective blanking plug inserted in the carrier. this
measure applies particularly if the towball could hinder visibility of the number plate or
lighting.
