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.

Lay the cables such that they do not rub on the vehicle and are not bent.
•
Do not lay any cables near the exhaust system.

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.

available in specialist shops 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 used.
Correct trailer operation has to be checked using a trailer or a test instrument with load resistors.
