Important
Retrofitting a tow bar to your vehicle increases the demand on its cooling system.
As a result, the cooling system components will need to be replaced in accordance with the in-
formation held by workshop technicians in authorised ŠKODA AUTO specialist service centres.
The additional tow bar that is fitted is designed to couple trailers in accordance with the restric-
tions specified in the vehicle registration document.
