-theft alarm is active.
When the vehicle is locked, the alarm will be triggered as soon as the electrical connection to the
trailer is interrupted.
Connection to the anti-theft alarm (trailer with LED tail light clusters)
For technical reasons, trailers with LED tail light clusters cannot be integrated into the anti-theft
alarm system.
When the vehicle is locked, the alarm is not triggered as soon as the electrical connection to the
trailer with LED tail light clusters is interrupted.

WARNING
Any electrical cables which are not connected properly or are connected incorrectly could cause the
trailer to become live. This could lead to malfunctions in the entire vehicle electronics system and
could also cause accidents and serious injuries.

Driving with a trailer
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Headlight adjustment
Towing a trailer can raise the front end of the vehicle enough for the dipped beam to dazzle other
road users. Use the headlight range control to lower the light cone as required. Vehicles with
dynamic headlight range control are adjusted automatically.
Things to note when driving with a trailer
If the trailer has an overrun brake, apply the brakes gently at first and then firmly. This will
prevent the jerking that can be caused by the trailer wheels locking.

Suitable earth connection: preferably the jump lead connection point (earth connection), a
solid metal part which is securely bolted onto the cylinder block, or the cylinder block itself.
The discharged 12-volt vehicle battery must be properly connected to the vehicle's electrical system.
The vehicles must not touch. Otherwise electricity could flow as soon as the positive terminals are
connected.
Ensure that the battery clamps have good metal-to-metal contact with the battery terminals.
If the engine does not start immediately, switch off the starter after about 10 seconds and try again
after about a minute.
If the engine still does not start, seek expert assistance.
Attaching the jump leads
The jump leads should be connected only in the order A – B – C – D⇒ Fig. 177 .
The black jump lead should never be connected to the negative terminal (–) on the 12-volt vehicle
battery. Connecting the lead to the negative terminal can cause incorrect condition evaluation of the
12-volt vehicle battery in the vehicle electronics.
