Coupling up a trailer
! The eyelet on the ball coupling is intended
solely for the attachment of a trailer break-
away cable. Do not attach towing cables, tow-
ing bars or similar items to the eyelet. The
eyelet is not designed for such loads and may
become detached.
X On vehicles with an automatic transmission,
ensure that the transmission is in position P.
X Apply the vehicle's parking brake.
X Close all the doors.
X
Position the trailer horizontally behind your
vehicle.
i
The height of the ball coupling changes with
the load of the vehicle. If this is case, use a
trailer with a height-adjustable trailer draw-
bar.
X
Couple the trailer.
X
Establish all electrical and other connections
to the trailer. When doing so, hook the break-
away cable of the trailer into eyelet
:
on the
ball coupling.
X
Make sure that the trailer lights are function-
ing correctly.
X
Activate the turn signals on both sides of the
vehicle and check that the corresponding turn
signals flash on the trailer.
A trailer can only be detected if the electrical
connection is established correctly and the
lighting system is in working order. The func-
tioning of other systems, e.g. ESP
®
,
PARKTRONIC, Active Parking Assist, Blind
Spot Assist or Lane Keeping Assist also
depends on this.

Remove the objects that are preventing the
trailer from rolling, e.g. wheel chocks.
X
Release the trailer parking brake.
