Instructions for using the
removable ball head tow
bar
IMPORTANT Before setting off, check
the correct locking of the removable
ball head tow bar, as follows:
❒
the green mark of the knob must
coincide with the green mark on the
tow bar;
❒
the knob is in the stop position on
the tow bar (without slot);
❒
locked lock and key removed. The
knob cannot be removed;
❒
ball head bar firmly secured to the
housing pipe. Check by shaking with a
hand.
The fitting procedure must be repeated
if any of the requirements are not met.
If even only one of the requirements
is not met the tow hook
must not be
used, since there is risk of causing
accidents. Contact a Jeep Dealership.
The ball head tow bar can be
fitted/removed manually, without
requiring specific equipment.
IMPORTANT Never use vehicles or
work tools: the mechanism may be
damaged.
IMPORTANT Never unlock in the case
of trailer attached to the vehicle or
with rack fitted.
IMPORTANT When driving without
trailer (or without rack), the ball head
tow bar must be removed and the
closing plug must always be inserted in
the housing pipe. This applies
particularly if, due to the bar, the
visibility of the number plate or of the
lighting system is reduced.
