Operation Manual
Retractable Tow Ball - Electrically
Operated
You will hear a warning tone when the tow
ball arm is not in one of the locked
positions. The warning tone will switch off
after 30 seconds. If you do not hear the
tone when moving the tow ball arm or at
system activation, do not use the tow bar
and have it checked by a properly trained
technician.
Only move the tow ball arm with your
hand. Never use your foot or auxiliary tools
as damage to the mechanism may result.
A 13-pin trailer socket A is provided
underneath the rear bumper next to the
tow ball arm B.
