Type approved according to 94/20/EC/ECE-R-55. Towbar with standard 2-hole detachable ball with tool.

Model exclusion: 4WD The mounting kit 9070819 is necessary, please order it at the same time. For electric motor vehicles, please check that the vehicle is allowed to tow.

All screws and necessary mounting parts are included in the delivery. Approval from the Mines Department is required. Cutout dimensions Length x Height (mm). General operating approval (ABE) and ECE - product certification (Homologation).

Towbars already approved according to regulation ECE 55 or previously 94/20/E have already been tested according to European standards. They comply with CE directives, are tested and approved for the French market.

It is not necessary to have the towbar approved by an expert or inspector after installation or to have it registered on the vehicle papers. 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 can be increased by calculation. Please follow the instructions in the vehicle registration document - especially for slope indications.

For the hitches we offer, you will find the maximum authorized trailer load for the towbar in the technical specifications of the product view. Important: If the maximum towing capacity of the vehicle and the trailer hitch are not the same, 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 of the trailer load can be requested for the vehicle. This requires the approval of the respective vehicle manufacturer, for example, 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 the 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 weight according to the 4% rule: Towing capacity 0.04 GF = (maximum authorized vehicle weight in kg) see vehicle registration D = (value D in kN) see data plate/installation instructions of the hitch. What is a bumper cutout?

During bumper cutting, a piece of the bumper is cut out from the rear of the vehicle. It is important to note that there are visible and non-visible bumper cutouts. This depends individually on the design of the bumper. Towbar manufacturers always strive to avoid bumper cutouts. If this is not possible, the cut is limited to what is strictly necessary. If the bumper needs to be modified, you can always find it in the respective installation instructions of the item. If a cut is necessary, you will also find the dimensions or a template that defines the size of the desired cutout. Tip: For cutting, use a jigsaw with a fine blade, as it allows for easy and 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 a sufficient distance to shape perfectly.

The maximum weight that can be applied vertically from above on the ball of the towbar. The authorized vertical load of the vehicle can be found in the vehicle manual under "using a trailer." The maximum static weight of each towing device is indicated on the approval plate and in the installation instructions. Tip: If you want to mount a bicycle carrier with an electric bicycle on your towbar, you must pay attention to a high static weight.

Important: What if the vertical load values between the vehicle and the trailer hitch are not identical? Example: If the manufacturer has authorized a maximum vertical load of 75 kg for the vehicle and the trailer hitch has an approved vertical load of 60 kg, the value of the hitch is decisive. In this example, it would be 60 kg.

In this case, the lower value always applies. This value of a towbar is expressed in kilo-Newtons and serves as the basis for calculating the permissible trailer load. Value D is determined and checked once and therefore remains unchanged.

Only value D and the authorized vertical load are indicated on the approval plate of the towbar. The indication of value D allows determining the bandwidth during a modification acceptance according to § 19 (3) StVZO (German Road Traffic Regulations). It is, for example, possible to modify the maximum authorized total weight by varying the towed load accordingly, without requiring a new inspection.

The required value D according to directive 94/20/CE can be determined as follows: GF = (maximum authorized vehicle weight in kg) see vehicle registration GA = (maximum 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 enhancement of the visual appearance.

Many removable and pivoting towbars are equipped with retractable sockets. We even have some rigid towbars with this feature in our range. Info: The construction of a towing device with a foldable socket support plate depends on the presence of sufficient space between the cross tube of the tow hitch and the rear part of the vehicle.

Is registration for the technical inspection necessary? Almost all the towbars in our range have an approval plate and are therefore controlled according to the "94/20" directive. 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 retrofitted with an approval plate only needs to be added during the "next inspection of the vehicle papers" at the registration office. However, according to clause 1a, any potential modification of the maximum authorized towing capacity resulting from the installation of the towing device must be reported immediately. After the installation of a towbar requiring an individual inspection at the technical inspection, we provide a certificate, with which you must have an individual inspection performed after the installation. You will then receive a document with which you must have an immediate registration of your vehicle papers at the registration office.

National brand (M, F, N). The same conditions as for the individual technical inspection procedure apply here.

The only difference is that these towbars have a permanently assigned homologation certification. Info: A towing device 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 and the bumper and the roadway complies with the regulations. The construction has passed the dynamic endurance test with 2 million load changes. All mounting locations prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer have been complied with.

Important: The installation instructions must be attached to the vehicle papers and must be in the vehicle! What is the installation time? The assembly time of a towbar is indicated by the manufacturer of the hitch itself.

This time is limited exclusively to the assembly of the product. This time does not take into account, for example, the installation or the placement 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 on the socket support plate with 3 screws.

Some towbars are even equipped with a folding function. What is an approval plate? Each towing device must be equipped with an approval plate so as not to invalidate the vehicle's road authorization.

An approval plate must contain the following information: - Diameter of the towball - The approval number - Series or manufacturing data - The static weight kg - Value D in kN - Type Info: Please feel free to ask us for the corresponding document. Compatible with additional kit for more permanence. Deactivation of rear parking sensors. Connection to the diagnostic tool necessary. More permanence integrated, pin 9. Connection to the trailer socket. The socket allows connecting to the trailer plug and ensures the electrical connection between the car and the trailer. What does 7 pins mean? A simple connection that is sufficient to meet legal requirements. As with all 7-pin wiring harnesses, special functions such as permanent power or reverse lights (on the trailer) are not possible. What does 13 pins mean? This is a waterproof connector with simple handling. In the meantime, this variant has become the standard for original equipment. Signaling functions and permanent power or reverse lights can be transmitted without any problem. Additional free pins are also available and offer useful options, especially in the camping field. What is an original connector? The connections between the vehicle and the electrical kit are made using existing connectors, which excludes any wiring errors. What is a diagnostic tool connection? Modern electrical kits are equipped with trailer control modules capable of exchanging data with the vehicle control units. Some functions, such as the deactivation of parking sensors, trailer stabilization, and deactivation of rear fog lights, only work when both control units have learned to communicate with each other. It is therefore necessary to perform the corresponding coding on the vehicle using a diagnostic tester.

The current driving situation of the car is monitored by sensors installed on 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 finds itself in a critical state, the vehicle's onboard computer assists the driver in regaining control of the situation.

Info: - TSP, Trailer-Stability-Program - TSM, Trailer-Sway-Mitigation - TSA, Trailer-Stability-Assist Note: Trailer stabilization only works if an electrical kit assists it. To do 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 adapted for any particular model.

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

Tip: If possible, always buy a vehicle-specific electrical kit, as mounting errors are virtually excluded. What is a specific wiring harness?

A specific electrical wiring harness was developed specifically 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 adapted - the installation instructions describe in text or pictograms all the necessary work steps for correct assembly. Info: There are vehicle-specific kits that are also suitable for several vehicle models, as it often happens that vehicles are built on the same platform, regardless of the manufacturer! Tip: Specific electrical kits save installation time and thus money.

What does pre-assembled socket mean? One end of the wiring harness is already connected to the socket. This makes installation easier and saves valuable assembly 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 holder. 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 whether the trailer has its own fog light system. Note: When using a rear bike rack with its own lighting units, it is mandatory that the rear fog light of the car is deactivated (in Germany). The CAN data bus technique (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 that exchange data with each other, allowing for the most suitable functions.

It is a bulb failure check that indicates to the driver, on the dashboard, visually, a defective lighting such as turn signals, brake lights, etc. What is a flasher relay or turn signal relay? Flashers are also called turn signal relays and have the function of transmitting the flashing impulse to the turn signals of the vehicle or, if applicable, the trailer. In the event of a malfunction, the flashing frequency changes.

What is a trailer control unit? The trailer control unit partially or fully regulates the lighting of the trailer. The impulse generally comes from the rear lights of the vehicle, which the control device transmits to the trailer. Trailer detection functions to indicate to the towing vehicle whether a trailer or a bike rack is hitched.

This is often done via 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, within the driver's line of sight. Info: On some types of vehicles, a C2 indicator is already equipped to be controlled by the flasher relay. Practical: In trailer mode, the C2 indicator flashes simultaneously with the factory turn signal indicator. Even without a trailer, it may flash up to three times, but it must then turn off!

What is a wiring diagram? In the wiring diagram of a 7 or 13 pin socket, it defines which cable 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 such as: deactivation of the EPH, trailer detection, etc. What is a central connector? Some vehicles are already prepared to receive a "factory electrical kit.

" In such cases, there is one or more central connectors, which are ready to serve as a connection point for the trailer wiring harness. What is a permanent power supply?

The permanent power supply is a continuous voltage of 12 Volts that provides a constant 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 during 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 cut-off relay. More offers for this type of trailer hitch. We distribute products from the following manufacturers.
