Extendable and retractable towbar*
Warning
Extending the towbar
Warning
Open the tailgate. 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
Move the towbar to its end position, where it is secured and locked in place - the indicator lamp illuminates with a constant orange glow.
Warning
Note
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.
Retracting the towbar
Important
Open the tailgate. 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.
Lock the towbar by moving it back to its retracted position, where it is locked.
The indicator lamp will now illuminate with a constant glow if the towbar is correctly retracted.
