Installation instructions:

The towing hitch is a safety component and
must only be installed by qualified personnel.
Any alteration or conversion to the towing hitch
is prohibited, and would lead to cancellation of
design certification.
Remove insulating compound and underseal
from vehicle (if present) in the area of the
mating surfaces of the towing hitch. Seal any
bare bodywork and bores with anti-corrosive
paint.
Operating instructions:
Again tighten all securing bolts of the towing
hitch after approx. 1000 trailer km, observing
specified tightening torques.
The towing hitch must be kept clean and
greased. However, if a stabilisation device, e.g.
Westfalia "SSK", is used, the towing hitch must
be free from grease. Follow the instructions in
the relevant operating instructions.
As soon as the towing hitch diameter is 49.0
mm or less at any point, it must no longer be
used for safety reasons.
After the towing hitch is fitted, the empty weight
of the vehicle increases by 37,2kg.
Apply corrosion protection material as specified
in the Toyota service guidlines, where
necessary.
In order to use the trailer hitch, simultaneous
installation of an electrical kit is required.
