WARNING
Undue use of the towing bracket may
cause injury and accidents.
● Only use the tow hook if it is properly en-
gaged.

Always ensure that no person, animal or
object is to be found in the path of the tow
hook.
●
Never use a tool or instrument while the
tow hook is moving.
●
Never press the
›››
Fig. 214 button when
there is a trailer hooked to the vehicle or
when a carrier system or other accessories
are mounted on the tow hook.
● If the tow hook is not attached properly,
do not use it. Instead, go to a specialised
workshop and have the towing bracket
checked.
●
If you detect any fault in the electrical
system or in the towing bracket, contact a
specialised workshop and ask them to
check it.
●
If the ball has a diameter of less than 49
mm at any one point, do not use the towing
bracket under any circumstances.
CAUTION
If you clean the vehicle with high-pressure
or steam devices, do not point the jet di-
rectly towards the retractable tow hook or
the trailer power socket, as this may dam-
age the joints or remove the grease neces-
sary for lubrication.
Note
At extremely low temperatures, the tow
hook may be impossible to operate. In this
case, place the vehicle in a warmer loca-
tion (for example, a garage).
Fitting a bicycle carrier on the re-
tractable towbar
The maximum permitted weight of the roof
rack system, including the load, is
75 kg . The
carrier system should not protrude more than
700 mm backwards from the spherical head.
Only carrier systems on which up to 3 bikes
can be mounted are allowed. Heavier bicy-
cles must be mounted as close to the vehicle
as possible (tow hook).
WARNING
The incorrect use of the tow hitch with a bi-
cycle rack mounted on the tow hook can
cause accidents and injury.
●
Never exceed the maximum weight or the
limits indicated above.
● The bicycle rack may not be mounted to
the neck of the hook below the ball be-
cause, due to the shape of the neck and
depending on the rack model, the rack
could be incorrectly mounted on the vehi-
cle.
●
Always read and take the manufacturer
assembly instructions into account.
CAUTION
If the maximum weight and limits indicated
above are exceeded, the vehicle may suf-
fer considerable damage.
