Ask a suitably qualified workshop to retrofit the towing bracket. The cooling system may need to be modified or heat
shields may need to be fitted. Install the towing bracket in accordance with the installation instructions provided.
WARNING
Electrical accessories that are not connected properly can cause faults in the entire vehicle electronics system and
also cause accidents and serious injuries.

workshop.
WARNING
The trailer can become detached from the towing vehicle if the towing bracket is unsuitable or incorrectly fitted.
This can cause serious accidents and fatal injuries.
There are a total of eight mounting points for the towing bracket at the rear of the vehicle
