General information:

The vehicle manufacturer's specifications regarding trailer load and nose weight are deci-
sive for driving, and the values specified for the towing hitch must not be exceeded.
The towing hitch serves for towing trailers fitted with ball couplings and for use with load carriers

Any alteration or conversion to the towing hitch is prohibited, and would lead to cancellation of
design certification.
Remove insulating compound and underseal from vehicle (if present) in the area of the mat-
ing surfaces of the towing hitch. Seal any bare bodywork and bores with anti-corrosive paint.
Operating instructions:
Again tighten all securing bolts of the towing hitch after approx. 1000 trailer km, observing speci-
fied tightening torques.
