Trailer Hitch
If the towing hitch is installed at the factory, the vehicle is equipped with reinforced rear suspension and, depending on the model, a more powerful cooling system.
To ensure that the detachable tow ball bar always installs and removes easily, maintain it in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions supplied with it.
Reinforcing the vehicle body for the towing hitch reduces the effectiveness of the rear bumper system, which absorbs impact energy through elastic deformation.
Storage location
The detachable tow ball bar is stored in the luggage compartment under the floor cover.
Removal and installation
For removal and installation of the hitch, refer to the operating instructions supplied by its manufacturer.
