Electrical System for Towing Hitch
Important notes
Read the installation manual prior to starting work.
The electrical kit may only be installed by qualified personnel.
Caution – Disconnect the battery!
Danger of damage to the vehicle's electronic system. Data which are stored
electronically may get lost.
Read out the fault storage prior to starting work.
Use a closed-circuit current conservation unit if necessary.
Note
During installation, special attention has to be paid to the following points:
•
Cables may not be pinched or damaged.
•
All sealing elements have to be installed properly.
•
The socket gasket has to be positioned on the insulating sleeve and not on the individual
wires.
•
Route the cables so that they do not rub against the vehicle and are not bent.
•
If necessary, cover any sharp edges with the supplied self-adhesive plates.
•
Do not route cables near the exhaust system.
•
Install the controller so that it is protected against the intrusion of moisture. The cable
connection should always face downward.
•
Degrease the trailer control module to ensure better adhesion at the adhesion points.
When a direction indicator lamp fails, also on the trailer, this is indicated by a higher flashing
frequency. No additional direction indicator check is necessary.
When a trailer is used, the rear fog lamp of the traction vehicle is deactivated.
In the case of trailers without rear fog lamps, a rear fog lamp has to be retrofitted.
Use a corresponding adapter to adapt the system to a 7-pin trailer socket. The adapter is
available from specialised dealers under the WESTFALIA part no. 300 100 320 113.
An electrical socket adapter may only be used in conjunction with a trailer. Remove the socket
adapter when the trailer is no longer in use.
Correct trailer operation has to be checked using a trailer or a test instrument with load resistors.
