WARNING
Adjust your speed to suit the road and traf-

● An electrical installation that is connected
incorrectly or by non-specialised personnel
can prevent the connection of the current to
the trailer and cause faults in the operation of
the electrical system throughout the entire
vehicle, leading to accidents and serious in-
jury.
All electrical work must be carried out only

Never directly connect the trailer electrical
●
