WARNING Risk of accident due to
unsuitable ball neck
If you install an unsuitable ball neck, this may
result in the trailer hitch and rear axle being
overloaded.
As a consequence, the handling characteris‐
tics may be heavily impaired and the trailer
could become detached. There is a risk of
fatal injury.
#
Only install a ball neck that conforms to
the permitted dimensions and has been
designed for the requirements of trailer
operation.
#
Do not change the ball neck or the
trailer hitch.
The values approved by the manufacturer can be
found on the identification plates and in the
"Technical data" section under "Trailer hitch" for
the towing vehicle (
/
page 399).
&
WARNING Swerving of the vehicle/
trailer combination due to increased
speed
You could lose control of the vehicle/trailer
combination.
The vehicle/trailer combination may even tip
over.
#
Under no circumstances should you try
to straighten the vehicle/trailer combi‐
nation by increasing the speed.
#
Reduce your speed and do not counter‐
steer.
#
If necessary, apply the brakes.
*
NOTE Damage to the engine as a result
of overheating
#
If you retrofit a trailer hitch, modifica‐
tions to the engine cooling system may
be necessary, depending on the vehicle
model.
When retrofitting a trailer hitch, observe the
fastening points on the chassis.
