A button for extending/retracting the towbar is located on the right-hand side at the rear of the cargo area. The indicator lamp in the button flashes or illuminates with a constant orange glow when retracting and extending are active.

When the tow bar is activated by pressing a key and has been placed in the unlocked position:
Wait at least 2 seconds before the tow bar is moved to the locked position. If the tow bar does not remain in the locked position, wait another few seconds and try again.

Power save mode activates after a while and the indicator lamp goes out. The system is reactivated by closing and opening the tailgate. 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. Towbar retraction and extension are then not possible.
