Towing System - Electrically Deployable Tow Bar
The electrically deployable tow bar is stowed discreetly behind the rear bumper when not in use, providing a clean attractive finish. It is designed to deploy/stow in 12 seconds and is operated via a switch in the rear loadspace or by the infotainment system in the cabin. Returns to original position if any obstructions encountered during deploying/stowing. Includes integral 13 pin towing electrics (also hidden until deployed). Approved for up to 3,500kg trailer load. Includes a unique trailer light test facility which allows the driver to check without assistance if the trailer lights, including reverse and brake lights, are functioning correctly. The trailer light test is activated via either a switch in the loadspace or via the touchscreen, depending on the vehicle’s specification.
