maintenance free. Do not grease or oil  
the mechanism.  
2x  
Remove the trailer wiring plug from the  
trailer wiring connection socket when

in corrosion of the trailer wiring

wiring connection socket regularly and  
make sure the socket cover is fully

2. Press the button. It is on the left-hand  
side of the luggage compartment.  
Note: The LED on the button illuminates  
and a double tone sounds.  
If you use a high pressure water jet to  
clean your vehicle, disconnect the  
trailer wiring plug. Do not aim the water  
jet directly at the trailer wiring  
connection socket. We recommend  
that you retract the tow ball arm before  
washing your vehicle.

3. Press the button again within four  
seconds to retract the tow ball arm to  
the released position. The tow ball arm  
moves into the stowed position.  
Note: The LED on the button flashes and a  
series of tones sound when the tow ball arm  
retracts and reaches the released position.  
The LED on the button stops flashing and  
a double tone sounds when the tow ball  
arm locks into position.  
Note: If you do not press the button again  
within four seconds, the system signals  
completion without retracting the tow ball  
arm. If the LED rapidly flashes and a high  
pitch tone sounds, repeat the process.  
WARNING: You must switch the  
ignition on when your vehicle is being  
towed. Failure to follow this warning  
could seriously increase the risk of injury  
or death.  
WARNING: The brake and steering  
assistance will not operate unless the  
engine is running. Press the brake pedal  
harder and be aware of increased  
stopping distances and heavier steering.  
WARNING: If your vehicle has a  
steering wheel lock make sure the  
ignition is in the accessory or on position  
when being towed.
