Installation instructions:
The towing hitch is a safety component and
must only be installed by qualified
personnel.
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 mating 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
specified tightening torques.
The towing hitch must be kept clean and
greased. However, if a stabilisation device,
e.g. Westfalia "SSK", is used, the towing hitch
must be free from grease. Follow the
instructions in the relevant operating
instructions.
As soon as the towing hitch diameter is 49.0
mm or less at any point, it must no longer be
used for safety reasons.
After the towing hitch is fitted, the empty
weight of the vehicle increases by 43 kg.
Apply corrosion protection material as
specified in the Lexus service guidlines,
where necessary.
In order to use the trailer hitch, simultaneous
installation of an electrical kit is required.
