Practical information
During use
Never release the locking system with a
trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the gross train weight
(GTW) for the vehicle.
Before setting off, check the headlamp
beam height adjustment.
For more information on Headlamp
beam height adjustment, refer to the
corresponding section.
Following use
For journeys made without a trailer or
load carrier, the trailer socket must be
folded away, the towball removed and the
plug inserted in the carrier. This measure
applies particularly if the towball could
hinder visibility of the number plate or
lighting.

Fitting the towball
Remove the protective plug from the carrier
and check the condition of the fixing system.
If necessary, clean the carrier with a brush or
a clean cloth.
Take the towball from the stowing bag.
Remove the protective cover from the ball.
Stow the plug and cover in the stowing bag.
Check that the towball is unlocked (position B).
If not, insert the key in the lock and turn the
key clockwise to unlock the mechanism. Then
press the locking wheel and turn it fclockwise
as far as possible.
Take the towball in both hands; insert the end
of the towball into the carrier, then, to ensure
that it has correctly locked in place, press down
firmly on the ball end of the towball.
The locking wheel then automatically rotates
anti-clockwise with an audible "click". Take
care to keep your hands clear.
