INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
For the electrical connection, a 7 or 13 pole 12ESP
coupling must be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN
standards). Follow the instructions provided by the car
manufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufacturer.
The towing device should be fastened to the body by
specialised personnel according to any additional
and/or integrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
An electric brake should be supplied directly by the
battery through a cable with a cross section of no less
than 2,5 mm2.
The towing device must meet current regulations with
reference to 94/20/EC Directive and subsequent
amendments.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other device shall be
used with running engine.
For any version the towing device used must match
the towable weight of the vehicle on which it is to be
installed.
In addition to the electrical branches, the car’s electric
system can only be connected to the supply cable for
an electric brake and to the cable for an internal light,
though not above 15W.
For the electric connection a unified connector should
be used which is generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing device, and a special
ECU for external trailer light control shall be installed
on the car.
For connections use a preset control unit with battery
cable no less than 2,5 mm2.
