*
Please ensure that the permissible tow bar load, maximum
towing weight and rear axle load for the vehicle are not ex-
ceeded, especially when you are loading the rear garage.
Simultaneous use of the tow-bar and the rear carrier
*
is
not permitted.
While manoeuvring to hitch and unhitch loads, ensure that
no-one is standing between the van and the trailer.
The maximum towing weight, trailer load and tow bar load
are set out in
Chapter 14 "Technical Data" .
Due to stipulations by the manufacturer of the basic
vehicle and the fixing of the so-called D value of the towing
fixture no additional loading of the towing loads is possible.
If you wish to increase the trailer load, a stronger motor is
required.
3.5 Externally mounted fixtures
Registering accessories in the vehicle's documents
• Have your HOBBY dealer mount your externally mounted
fixtures.
• Take your van to a technical support organisation or tech -
nical service provider (e.g. MOT).
• The technical support organisation will approve the fittings
and draw up a corresponding expertise.
(road traffic authorities)
• Take the expertise and the Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate
Part I to the national vehicle registration authority (Driver & Vehicle
Licensing Agency). They will enter the change in the registration
document.
If applicable, please observe national regulations in foreign
countries. Please remember that the tow coupling, mo-
torcycle carrier, pneumatic suspension and/or additional
leaf springs must be entered in the registration document.
Please note that mounting additional equipment reduces
the load your van can carry.
