Coupling or uncoupling a trailer or accessory
The following information describes the procedure
for coupling and uncoupling a trailer. The information
also refers to another accessory, e.g. a bike carrier.
WARNING
Risk of an accident!
▶ Do not use the safety eye for towing.
▶ Distribute and fix the load correctly.
The trailer has a 13-pin electrical socket. If the
trailer has a 7-pin connector, use a corresponding
adapter from the ŠKODA Original Accessories.

Technical data
Other information (e.g. on the nameplate of the trail-

values of the device.
Support load with mounted accessories
When using the accessories (e.g. bicycle carrier), the
maximum length and the permissible total weight in-
cluding load must be considered.
The maximum length of the mounted accessories
(from the ball of the towing device) may not exceed
70 cm.
The permissible total weight of the mounted acces-
sories including its load corresponds to the maxi-
mum vertical load for trailer operation; the value can
be found in the vehicle registration documentation.
If the maximum load in trailer operation is more than
75 kg, then the permissible total weight of the
mounted accessories including their load must not
exceed 75 kg.
This value applies if the centre of gravity is at a dis-
tance of no more than 30 cm from the towing device
