Open the boot lid. A button for extending/retracting the towbar is located on the right-hand side at the rear of the cargo area. An indicator lamp in the button must illuminate with a constant orange glow for the extension function to be active.
Press and release the button – extension might not start if the button is pressed for too long.

Warning
Note
Power save mode activates after a while and the indicator lamp goes out. The system is reactivated by closing and reopening the boot lid. This applies when retracting or extending the towbar.
If the car detects a connected trailer electrically, the indicator lamp stops illuminating with a constant glow.
Retracting the towbar
Important
Open the boot lid. Press and release the button on the right-hand side at the rear of the cargo area - retraction might not start if the button is pressed for too long.
