There is no need to have the towbar approved by an expert or inspector after installation or to have it registered on the vehicle's papers. Transportsysteme24 GmbH is the authorized official partner of the Oris / ACPS brand.

What is the towing capacity? The towing capacity defines the maximum total weight allowed with which a vehicle equipped with an appropriate tow hitch can tow a trailer. Depending on the type and version of the vehicle (engine power), this may vary.

You can find the maximum authorized trailer load for your vehicle in your registration document. Where can I find this entry in the vehicle documents?

Depending on the age of the vehicle, you will find the value in the vehicle registration document. Take the value from area F.3 and subtract it from the value in area F. In order to calculate the maximum authorized towing capacity for the vehicle. In exceptional cases, this value may be increased by calculation.

Please respect the indications on the vehicle registration document - especially for slope indications. For the towbars we offer, you will find the maximum authorized trailer load of the towbar in the technical data of the product view. Important: If the maximum towing capacity values of the vehicle and the trailer hitch are not identical, the lower value always applies.

Example: If the maximum authorized trailer load of 1,500 kg is indicated in the vehicle document, but the associated towbar has a tested trailer load of 1,800 kg, only 1,500 kg can still be towed. Under certain conditions, an increase in trailer load may be requested for the vehicle. This requires approval from the respective vehicle manufacturer such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes... The vehicle must then be presented to an expert. With the test certificate you receive from them, you can have the change registered in your vehicle documents at the registration office.

The authorized trailer load in kilograms can be determined as follows: Formula for calculating value D: (Total weight Towing capacity 9.81) / (Total weight + Towing capacity) Formula for calculating towing capacity: (value D total weight) / (total weight 9.81 - value D) Formula for calculating total weight: (value D trailer load) / (trailer load 9.81 - value D) Formula for calculating static mass according to the 4% rule: Towing capacity 0.04 GF = (total authorized weight of the vehicle in kg) see vehicle registration D = (value D in kN) see nameplate/installation instructions of the towbar. What is a bumper cutout? When cutting the bumper, a piece of the bumper is cut out from the rear of the vehicle. It is important to note that there are bumper cutouts in both visible and non-visible areas. This depends individually on the design of the bumper.

Manufacturers of towbar brands always strive to avoid bumper cutouts. If this is not possible, the cutout is limited to the strict necessary.

If the bumper needs to be modified, you can always find information in the respective installation instructions of the item. If a cutout is necessary, you will also find the dimensions or a template that defines the desired cutout size. Tip: For cutting, use a jigsaw with a fine saw blade, as it allows for very easy and especially precise work on plastic. To ensure that the cut edges are smooth again, you can carefully heat them with a lighter.

Professionals can also do this with a Bunsen burner or a "Blue-Fire." But keep enough distance to shape perfectly. The maximum weight that can be applied vertically from the top onto the ball of the trailer hitch. The authorized vertical load of the vehicle can be found in the vehicle manual under the point "using a trailer." The maximum static mass of each towing device is indicated on the one hand on the approval plate and on the other hand in the installation instructions. Tip: If you want to mount a bicycle carrier with an electric bike on your trailer hitch, you must absolutely pay attention to a high static mass.

Important: What if the vertical load values between the vehicle and the trailer hitch are not identical? Example: If the manufacturer has allowed a maximum vertical load of 75 kg for the vehicle and the trailer hitch has an approved vertical load of 60 kg, it is the value of the hitch that is decisive. In this example, it would be 60 kg. In this case, it is always the lowest value that applies. This value of a trailer hitch is expressed in kilo-Newtons and serves as the basis for calculating the permissible trailer load.

Value D is determined and verified once and therefore remains unchanged. Only value D and the authorized vertical load are indicated on the approval plate of the trailer hitch. The indication of value D allows for determining the bandwidth during a modification acceptance according to § 19 (3) StVZO (German Road Traffic Regulations). For example, it is possible to modify the total authorized weight by varying the towing load accordingly, without requiring a new inspection. The required value D according to directive 94/20/EC can be determined as follows: GF = (total authorized weight of the vehicle in kg) see vehicle registration GA = (authorized towing capacity of the vehicle in kg) see vehicle registration.

What is a foldable socket? The socket is mounted on a support plate with a hinge and can be folded under the bumper. This is not a requirement, but simply an improvement to the visual appearance.

Many removable and swivel towbars are equipped with retractable sockets. We even have a few rigid towbars with this feature in our range. Info: The design of a towing device with a foldable socket support depends on the presence of sufficient space between the cross tube of the tow hook and the rear of the vehicle. Is registration needed for technical inspection? Almost all towbar units in our assortment come with an approval plate and are therefore checked according to the directive "94/20.

" Such a towbar can be used on public roads without further expertise. According to Article 27, paragraph 1 of the StVZO (German Road Traffic Regulations), a towbar equipped retroactively with an approval plate only needs to be added during the "next consultation of the vehicle papers" at the registration office.

However, according to clause 1a, any potential modification of the authorized towing capacity resulting from the installation of the towing device must be reported without delay. After mounting a towbar requiring an individual inspection at the technical inspection, we provide a certificate, with which you must have an individual inspection performed after mounting. You will receive a document with which you must have immediate registration on your vehicle papers at the registration office.

National brand (M, F, N). The same terms as for the individual technical inspection procedure apply here. The only difference is that these towbars have a permanently assigned approval certification. Info: A towing device that has been tested according to EC94/20 meets the following criteria: - the towbar has a valid approved plate with all necessary data - the distance between the ball joint and the bumper and the road surface complies with the requirements.

The construction has passed the dynamic endurance test with 2 million load changes. All fastening locations prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer have been respected. Important: Installation instructions must be attached to the vehicle papers and must be kept in the vehicle!

What is the installation duration? The installation time for a towbar is indicated by the towbar manufacturer itself.

This time is limited exclusively to the mounting of the product. This time does not take into account, for example, the installation or fitting of the bumper. Tips: To avoid calculation errors, calculate the specified indicative values with a factor of two. Experience shows that this comes closest to the actual installation time.

What is a socket support plate? The socket, whether 7 or 13 poles, is always fixed to the socket support plate with 3 screws. Some towbars are even equipped with a folding function.

What is an approval plate? Every towing device must be equipped with an approval plate in order not to invalidate the vehicle's operating permit. An approval plate must contain the following information: - Diameter of the tow ball - Approval number - Serial or manufacturing data - Static mass in kg - Value D in kN - Type Info: Feel free to ask us for the corresponding document. Suitable for vehicles built until 06.2021.

Compatible with additional kit for more permanence. Deactivation of rear parking sensors.

More permanence integrated, pin 9. Connection to the trailer socket. The socket allows connection to the trailer plug and ensures the electrical connection between the car and the trailer. What does 7 poles mean?

A simple connection that is sufficient to meet legal requirements. Like all 7-pole wiring harnesses, special functions such as permanent power or reverse lights (on the trailer) are not possible. What does 13 poles mean?

It is a waterproof connector with simple handling. This variant has become the standard for original equipment. Signaling functions and permanent power or reverse lights can be transmitted without any problem. Other free pins are also available and offer useful options, especially in camping.

What is an original connector? Connections between the vehicle and the electrical kit are made using existing connectors, which excludes any connection errors. Modern electrical kits are equipped with trailer control modules capable of exchanging data with the vehicle's control units. Some functions, such as deactivating the parking sensors, trailer stabilization, and deactivating the rear fog lights, only work when both control units have learned to communicate with each other. Therefore, corresponding coding on the vehicle using a diagnostic tester is necessary. The current driving situation of the vehicle is monitored by sensors installed in the vehicle. Once the trailer plug is connected, the vehicle recognizes the "trailer" operating mode and monitors all dynamic movements of the vehicle. If the trailer gets into a critical state, the vehicle's onboard computer helps the driver regain control of the situation. Info: - TSP, Trailer-Stability-Program - TSM, Trailer-Sway-Mitigation - TSA, Trailer-Stability-Assist Technical note: The stabilization of the hitch only works if an electrical kit assists it.

For this, the electrical kit must be registered in the vehicle's data bus system through activation. Vehicles that do not have TSP as standard cannot be equipped with this function using a TSP-compatible electrical kit.

What is a universal wiring harness? A universal electrical kit is suitable for different brands and types of vehicles but is not specifically adapted to any particular model.

Characteristic properties: - The connection is made to the power supply wires. The functions of each wire must be identified. The wiring may need to be shortened or extended as necessary. The installation instructions do not refer to vehicle-specific characteristics.

Tip: If possible, always buy a vehicle-specific electrical kit, as installation errors are virtually excluded. What is a specific wiring harness? A specific electrical harness has been specially developed for a particular vehicle. Before marketing a specific electrical kit, a mounting test is performed on the vehicle in question to ensure its proper functioning. Typical properties: - pre-designed connectors - cable lengths exactly tailored - the installation instructions describe in text or pictograms all the necessary work steps for correct installation.

Info: There are vehicle-specific electrical kits that are also suitable for multiple vehicle models because it often happens that vehicles are built on the same platform, regardless of the manufacturer! Tip: Specific electrical kits save installation time and therefore money. What does pre-assembled plug mean? One end of the wiring harness is already connected to the socket. This facilitates installation and saves valuable installation time.

What is a socket with screw terminals? The socket insert has connection points for securing the cables, which establish contact via a screw terminal.

What is a socket with crimp terminals? In the case of a crimp socket, the wires are already installed in the contact support. This results in a gas-tight compression of the cable with the contact plug, ensuring optimal contact connection. What is the deactivation of rear fog lights? When the fog light system is deactivated, the rear fog lights of the towing vehicle are turned off.

It does not matter if the trailer has its own fog light system. Note: When using a rear bicycle carrier with its own lighting units, it is mandatory that the rear fog light of the car is deactivated (in Germany). The CAN data bus technology (also called Controller-Area-Network) is the technical term for a special type of data transmission in a vehicle. It manages the electronic network of a modern automobile and connects the majority of control devices.

Info: A modern car contains up to 70 control units to exchange data with each other, which then enable the most suitable functions. It is a bulb failure check that indicates to the driver, on the dashboard, through a visual symbol, a defective lighting such as turn signals, brake lights, etc. What is a flasher control unit or turn signal relay? Flasher control units are also called turn signal relays and are responsible for transmitting the blinking signal to the turn signals of the vehicle or, if applicable, the trailer.

In case of malfunction, the blinking frequency changes. What is a trailer calculator? The trailer calculator partially or completely regulates the lighting of the trailer. The signal usually comes from the rear lights of the vehicle, which the control device transmits to the trailer.

Trailer detection indicates to the towing vehicle whether a trailer or bicycle carrier is hitched. This is often done using a micro-switch integrated into the power socket.

What is a C2 indicator? The C2 indicator is an additional green indicator. It must be placed on the dashboard, in the driver's field of vision. Info: On some vehicle types, a C2 indicator is already equipped to be controlled by the flasher control unit. Practical: In trailer mode, the C2 indicator blinks simultaneously with the factory turn signal indicator.

Even without a trailer, it can blink up to three times, but then it must turn off! What is a wiring diagram?

In the wiring diagram of a 7 or 13-pin socket, it is defined which wire occupies which contact of the socket. Cable identification is done by colors.

The contacts of the socket are identified by numbers and letters. What is a micro switch? A micro switch is a small electrical switch that is integrated into the socket of the electrical kit. It can be used for various functions, for example: deactivating the EPH, trailer detection, etc.

What is a central connector? Some vehicles are already ready to receive a "factory electrical kit.

" In such cases, there is one or more central connector points, which are ready to serve as a connection point for the trailer wiring harness. What is a permanent power supply? The additional permanent power supply is a continuous voltage of 12 volts that provides continuous current to contact "number 9" and is only possible for 13-pin trailer sockets according to DIN/ISO 11446. What is a charging cable? A battery in the trailer can be charged with a charging cable while driving.

This works via contact "number 10," a 13-pin socket according to DIN/ISO 11446. As soon as the ignition is turned off, the power supply is interrupted by a cutoff relay.
