Retractable towbar

(Option/accessory.)

The retractable towbar is designed to be used to tow a trailer or mount a bicycle holder. The towbar can be easily retracted or extended as needed. When retracted, the towbar is completely concealed.

Folding the towbar

1. 1

   

   Open the tailgate. There is a button for operating the towbar on the right-hand side at the rear of the cargo compartment. Steady orange illumination from the indicator light in the button shows that the folding function is active.

2. 2
   Press the button and release – pressing too long on the button may prevent the hitch from folding out.

   

   The towbar will fold out and down to an unlocked position – the indicator lamp will flash orange. The towbar is ready to be moved to the locked position.

3. 3

   

   Move the hitch to its end position, where it will lock in place – the indicator lamp will glow steadily orange.

   • The towbar is now ready for use.

Retracting the towbar

1. 1
   Open the tailgate. Press the button on the rear, right-hand side of the cargo compartment and release. Pressing too long on the button may prevent the hitch from folding in.

   • The hitch will automatically fold down to the unlocked position and the indicator light in the button will flash orange.
2. 2

   

   Secure the hitch into position by pushing it back to its retracted position under the bumper, where it will lock into place.

   • The indicator light in the button will now glow steadily if the hitch is correctly locked in the retracted position.

   

Towbar-mounted bicycle holder

Before mounting bicycles on the bicycle holder, note the following:

• The maximum weight for the bicycle holder including bicycles is 130 lbs/60 kg. For example: holder 40 lbs + bicycle 30 lbs + bicycle 30 lbs = 100 lbs total > OK
• Do not mount more than two bicycles.

The center of gravity must not exceed the following dimensions:

1. 1
   613 mm (24 1/7 ")
2. 2
   642 mm (25 2/7 ")

   

• Never use towbar adapters or towbar extensions.
• Use only for towing. Do not mount accessories directly on the ball mount. Use accessories designed to be mounted in the towbar's square bracket. Do not use accessories designed for protection around the ball mount.
