If the car is equipped with a detachable tow-
bar, the installation instructions for the loose
section must be followed carefully, see

locked with the key before setting off.

Check that the indicator window
shows green.
Important checks

The towbar's towball must be cleaned
and greased regularly.
WARNING
The moving parts of the detachable towbar
must not be lubricated/oiled. This may
reduce safety.

used, the towball must not be lubricated.
