TOW HITCH

Make sure the relevant safety warnings and cautions have been read and understood before towing a trailer.

The fitting of a tow hitch is required for towing with the tow hitch receiver.

The following tow hitch dimensions must be adhered to:

  1. The maximum recommended length is 6.9 in (175 mm).
  2. The maximum recommended ball height is:
    • Coil suspension: -0.6 in (-15 mm).
    • Air suspension: 1.3 in (35 mm).

Never leave the tow hitch loose in the vehicle. In the event of an accident, or during heavy braking, the tow hitch can become a projectile potentially causing serious injury or death.

If in any doubt about the fitment of a tow hitch, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
