- The towing arm is not mounted properly if it is not possible
to lock the control lever and to pull out the key. The control
lever needs further tightening, pulling it upwards mo-
derately!
- Before driving, check whether the towing arm is secured
to the clamping bush of the girder of the towing coupling
GB
properly. The check is effected by turning the locked control
lever of the towing arm „downwards" slightly. If the lever
can be turned through a small angle only (about 5°), the
clamping is all right. After the check, pull the lever back up
to the stop.
- After having attached the trailer, insert the trailer plug into
the socket of the towing coupling, and check if the trailer
lights are functioning.
- Never unlock the towing arm with the trailer attached.
- Should you lose your key, contact the nearest Škoda Auto
Service Centre or the manufacturer directly.
