WARNING
■
Before each time you make a journey when using the ball rod, check that
it is seated correctly and is secured in the mounting recess.
■
Do not use the ball rod if it is not correctly inserted into the mounting re-
cess and secured.
■
Do not use the towing hitch if it is damaged or if there are parts missing.
■
Do not perform any modifications or changes to the towing device.
■
Keep the mounting recess of the towing device clean at all times. Such
dirt prevents the ball rod from being attached securely!
CAUTION
■
Take care when using the ball rod - there is a risk of paint damage to the
bumper.
■
When the ball rod is removed always place the cover onto the mounting re-
cess - there is a danger of soiling the mounting recess.
