NOTICE
●
The towing eye must always be completely
and firmly tightened. Otherwise, it could be
released while towing and tow-starting.
●
If the vehicle is factory-equipped with a
towing bracket, it is only allowed to tow with a
tow bar if this has been specially designed to
be installed with a tow hitch. If an unsuitable
tow bar is used, both the tow hitch and the
vehicle may be damaged. Instead, a tow rope
should be used.
Fuses
Introduction
In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
electrical components. Likewise, an electrical
component can be protected by several fuses.
Only replace fuses when the cause of the
problem has been solved. If a newly inserted
fuse blows after a short time, you must have
the electrical system checked by a specialised
workshop as soon as possible.
