TRAILER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connect only approved electrical circuits, which are in good condition, to the vehicle's electrical tow bar socket. Failure to do so may result in damage, or affect the correct operation of the vehicle's electrical systems.
When a trailer's electrical connection is made and the vehicle's direction indicators are used, the trailer's warning indicator will flash in time with the direction indicators.
If when a direction indicator is used the symbol does not flash, the trailer's connection should be checked and appropriate action taken to make sure the trailer's direction indicators are functioning.
The information, in the following table,
will help to confirm if a trailer or a lighting
board with LED lamps, will be compatible
for use with this vehicle. If these conditions
are not met, the vehicle will not detect the
electrical connection of a trailer or a
lighting board with LED lamps.
