Towing a trailer
192
Detachable towing device*The detachable ball head of the towing device is stowed in a box for the car tool kit in
the luggage compartment.
An instruction for correct installation and remo val of the ball head of the towing device
is supplied with the ball head
Inspect the ball head to ensure that it is prop erly locked each time before setting off.
The inspection is performed by pulling the locked handwheel away from the ballhead
and turning it to the right. If the handwheel cannot be pulled out, but only turned
around a small angle (approx. 30°), the lock ing mechanism is O.K. The towing device
must not be used if the ballhead cannot be locked or in the event the handwheel can
be pulled out while in the locked positi on or turned around more than 30°.
WARNING
Do not use any aids or tools for installing or removing the ball head. This might
result in damage to the locking mechanism to the extent that the safety of the
towing device is no longer assured - risk of an accident.
Note
Do not carry out any modifications or repairs to the ball head or to any other
components on the towing device.
Contact a specialist garage if you encounter any problems using the device.
Never unlock the ball head with a trailer coupled to it.
You should take off the ball head if you drive without towing a trailer. Inspect
whether the end cover properly seals off the mounting shaft.
Remove the ball head beforehand if you wish to clean your vehicle using a steam
jet. Ensure that the end cover properly seals the mounting shaft.
It is recommended to wear gloves when installing and removing.
