WARNINGS
Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 mph).
The rear tyre pressures must be
increased by 0.2 bar (3 psi) above
specification. See Technical
Specifications (page 209). Do not exceed the maximum gross
train weight stated on the vehicle
identification plate. See Vehicle
identification (page 214). CAUTION
Do not exceed the maximum
permissible nose weight, i.e. vertical
weight on the tow ball, of 75
kilogrammes (165 pounds). Note:
Not all vehicles are suitable or
approved to have tow bars fitted. Check
with your dealer first.
Place loads as low and central to the
axle(s) of the trailer as possible. If you are
towing with an unladen vehicle, the load
in the trailer should be placed toward the
nose, within the maximum nose load, as
this gives the best stability.
The stability of the vehicle to trailer
combination is very much dependant on
the quality of the trailer.
In high altitude regions above 1000 metres
(3281 feet), the stipulated maximum
permitted gross train weight must be
reduced by 10% for every additional 1000
metres (3281 feet).
Steep gradients WARNING
The overrun brake on a trailer is not
controlled by ABS. Change down a gear before you reach a
steep downhill gradient.
RETRACTABLE TOW BALL
CAUTION
Only move the tow ball arm with your
hand. Never use your foot or auxiliary
tools as damage to the mechanism
may result. You can turn the retractable tow ball arm
through 90 degrees using the handwheel
A.
A 13-pin trailer socket B is provided
underneath the rear bumper next to the
tow ball arm C.

WARNINGS
Keep your hands away from the
handwheel as it rotates during the
locking process.
You will hear a warning tone when
the tow ball arm is not in one of the
locked positions. If you do not hear
the tone when moving the tow ball arm,
do not use the tow bar and have it checked
by a properly trained technician. CAUTION
Before retracting the ball neck into its
stowage position always unhitch the
trailer or dismantle load carriers and
their attachments. Dismantle attachments
for tracking stabilisation. Remove the plug
for the trailer power supply and the
adapter from the socket. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the bumper. 1. Insert the key into the handwheel and
turn it clockwise to unlock. 2. Pull the handwheel out and turn it
anti-clockwise to the stop. The tow ball
arm automatically swivels into a
midway position. 3. Release the handwheel. The tow ball
arm is not locked. This is indicated by
the warning tone and the handwheel
projects about five millimetres (0.2
inch) from its housing.

WARNING
If any of the conditions below cannot
be met, do not use the tow bar and
have it checked by a properly trained
technician. Before starting your journey, make sure
that the tow ball arm is properly locked.
Check that:
•
there is no warning tone when the
locking procedure has been completed
• the handwheel is in its housing and that
there is no gap
• you have locked the handwheel
(anti-clockwise) and removed the key
• the tow ball arm is locked. It must not
move when jerked.
Maintenance CAUTIONS
The towing hitch and control unit are
maintenance-free. Do not grease or
oil them.
Only the manufacturer should carry
out repairs or dismantle the towing
hitch.
If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, do not direct the
spray onto the swivel joint of the tow
ball arm. 171

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNING
Have the wheel nuts checked for
tightness and the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.
TYRE REPAIR KIT
Your vehicle may not have a spare tyre. In
this case it will have an emergency tyre
repair kit that can be used to repair one
flat tyre.
The tyre repair kit is located in the spare
wheel well.
General information
WARNINGS
Depending on the type and extent of
tyre damage, some tyres can only be
partially sealed or not sealed at all.
Loss of tyre pressure can affect vehicle
handling, leading to loss of vehicle control. Do not use the tyre repair kit if the
tyre has already been damaged as a
result of being driven under inflated.
Do not use the tyre repair kit on run
flat tyres.
Do not try to seal damage other than
that located within the visible tread
of the tyre.
Do not try to seal damage to the
tyre
’s sidewall. The tyre repair kit seals most tyre
punctures [with a diameter of up to six
millimetres (1/4 inch)] to temporarily
restore mobility.
Observe the following rules when using the
kit: •
Drive with caution and avoid
making sudden steering or driving
manoeuvres, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or you are towing a
trailer.
• The kit will provide you with an
emergency temporary repair, enabling
you to continue your journey to the next
vehicle or tyre dealer, or to drive a
maximum distance of 200 kilometres
(125 miles).
• Do not exceed a maximum speed of
80 km/h (50 mph) .
• Keep the kit out of the reach of
children.
• Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between – 30°C (-22°F)
and +70°C (+158°F).
Using the tyre repair kit WARNINGS
Compressed air can act as an
explosive or propellant.
Never leave the tyre repair kit
unattended while in use.
CAUTION
Do not keep the compressor operating
for more than 10 minutes.
Note:
Use the tyre repair kit only for the
vehicle with which it was supplied.
• Park your vehicle at the roadside so
that you do not obstruct the flow of
traffic and so that you are able to use
the kit without being in danger.
• Apply the parking brake, even if you
have parked on a level road, to make
sure that the vehicle will not move.
• Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects like nails or screws penetrating
the tyre.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Apart from a too low tyre pressure or a
damaged tyre, the following situations can
affect the rolling circumference:
•
Vehicle load is uneven.
• When using a trailer or travelling up and
down an incline.
• Using snow chains.
• Driving on soft surfaces such as snow
or mud.
Note: The system will still function
correctly, but there may be an increased
detection time. System reset
Note:
Do not reset the system when the
vehicle is moving.
Note: You should reset the system
following any adjustment to the tyre
pressures or any changing of tyres.
Note: Turn the ignition on.
