and turn it clockwise to unlock.
2. Pull the handwheel out and turn it
anticlockwise to the stop. The tow
ball arm automatically swivels into
the midway position.

indicated by the warning tone and
the handwheel projects about five
millimetres from its housing.

steadily from its midway position
to the stop in the operating

clearly audible if the level of
background noise is not too high.
When the locking process is
completed, the warning tone
stops and the handwheel will
return to its original position.
5. Turn the key anticlockwise and
remove it. Insert the key into the
