3.
Move the towbar to its end position,
where it is secured and locked in place -
the indicator lamp illuminates with a con-
stant orange glow.
> The towbar is ready for use.
NOTE
The towbar must finish the extension pro-
cedure before it can then be moved to
locked position. This procedure may take
several seconds. If the towbar is not fixed
in locked position, wait a few seconds and
try again.
WARNING
Take care to secure the trailer's safety
cable in the intended bracket.

NOTE
Power save mode activates after a while
and the indicator lamp goes out. The sys-
tem is reactivated by closing and opening
the tailgate. This applies when retracting or
extending the towbar.
If the car detects a connected trailer elec-
trically, the indicator lamp stops illuminat-
ing with a constant glow.
Retracting the towbar
IMPORTANT
Make sure that there is no plug or adapter
in the electrical socket when retracting the
towbar.
1. Open the tailgate. Press and release the
button on the right-hand side at the rear of
the cargo area - retraction might not start
if the button is pressed for too long.
> The towbar automatically lowers in an
unlocked position - the indicator lamp
in the button flashes orange.
2.
Lock the towbar by moving it back to its
retracted position, where it is locked.
> The indicator lamp will now illuminate
with a constant glow if the towbar is
correctly retracted.
