- Fit the cover (D) upon the ball journal.
- Grip the towing arm from below with your left hand. Using
the fingers of your right hand, press down the safety pin up
to the stop, and at the same time, press down the control
lever up to the stop with your right hand.
- In this position, the towing arm is released, and will fall
down to your left hand by itself. At the same time, it gets
locked in the stand-by position and therefore, it is ready for
further clamping into the clamping bush.
- Wipe off dirt from the towing arm, and deposit it into the
luggage compartment.
Caution! Never leave the towing arm lying freely in the
luggage compartment. In case of sudden braking, it could
threaten the safety of the passengers and cause damage
to the luggage compartment.
Be careful to avoid damage to the paint of the bumper (or
of the lower edge of the bumper hole) when removing
the towing arm.

- Fit the cover (F) into the clamping bush of the beam of the
towing coupling.
- Clamp the cover (H) into the hole of the rear buffer.
- Procedure of fitting the cover: First, engage the cover
with the „hooks" on the bottom side of the buffer. Next,
clamp the L.H. and the R.H. sides of the cover, and final-
ly, clamp the upper side of the cover.
Advice
- The towing arm is to be deposited in the luggage com-
partment in the stand-by position, i.e. with the key in-
serted in the lock. Caution: never lay the towing arm
with the key inserted in the lock downwards – the dan-
ger of damaging (bending) the key.
- Do not forget to fit the protecting cover into the clam-
ping bush.
- When handling the towing arm, do press upon the con-
trol lever with more force than 600 N (60 kg)!

Operation and maintenance

- The towing coupling requires a minimum maintenance.
- When the towing arm has been removed, protect the hol-
low of the clamping bush with the cover.
