Installation Instructions:
Electrical System for Towing Hitch

Important notes
Read the installation manual prior to starting work.
The electrical kit should only be installed by qualified personnel.

Caution – Disconnect the battery!

Danger of damage to the vehicle’s electronic system. Data which are stored
electronically may get lost.
Read out the fault storage prior to starting work.
Use a closed-circuit current conservation unit if necessary.

Note
During installation special attention has to be paid to the following points:
• Cables must not be pinched or damaged.
• 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.

Failure of a trailer light (also direction indicator lamps, but not back-up light or rear fog lamp) is
indicated by the light failure monitoring system on the combination instrument.
When a trailer is used, the rear fog lamp of the traction vehicle is deactivated.
In the case of trailers without rear fog lamp, a rear fog lamp has to be retrofitted.
A socket adapter may only be used in conjunction with a trailer. When the trailer is no longer
used, remove the socket adapter.
Correct trailer operation has to be checked using a trailer or a test instrument with load resistors.
Subject to technical alterations!

30. The vehicle’s gateway has to be coded using a service tester to extend its functionality to the
use of a towing hitch as follows:
- 19 Diagnosis interface for data bus
- Read/write long coding
- 69 Trailer function (coding)
On vehicles equipped with a parking distance control, a service tester must be used to extend
the functionality to the use of a towing hitch as follows:
- Address word „76“ Parking distance control.
- Select function „07“ Coding the control unit.
- Enter the value according to the coding table. Example 001xxxx.
- Function „06“ Exit output.
Finally, as at the beginning, perform a system request regarding the “Guided error location”
and delete error codes if necessary.
31. Check the trailer function with the help of a suitable test instrument (with load resistors) or
with the help of a trailer.
32. Secure all cables using cable ties.
33. Refit any parts removed for installation.
