The towing bracket must comply with certain technical requirements.
Your car is intended mainly for transporting passengers and luggage. However, if suitably equipped, it can also be used to tow a trailer or caravan.
If the car is supplied with a factory-fitted towing bracket it will already have the necessary technical modifications and meet the statutory requirements.
A 13-pin socket is provided to make the electrical connection between the car and the trailer. If the trailer you wish to tow has a 7-pin plug, the necessary adapter cable can be obtained from a specialist retailer.
If a towing bracket is to be fitted after the car is purchased, this must be done according to the instructions of the towing bracket manufacturer ►Link.
WARNING!
If a towing bracket is retrofitted, the installation should be carried out by a qualified workshop.
- In particular in high outside temperatures it is not possible to drive up long steep gradients without a suitable cooling system. The engine would then overheat.
- Incorrect installation can result in a safety risk.
