The tow bar is manufactured from high-quality materials, it has undergone load tests as well as rigorous testing for strength and resistance to corro-
sion. The tow bar complies with homologation E1 55R-01 2858 and Australian homologation ADR62/02+AS4177-2004.
With this tow bar, a simple automatic mechanism allows the ball hitch to be swivelled out into the working position and then, when it is no longer needed, swivelled back in beneath the bumper. Retrofitting a tow bar to your vehicle increases the demand on its cooling system. As a result, depending on the equipment fitted to the vehicle, the cooling system components will need to be replaced in accordance with the information either held by workshop technicians in authorised Škoda Auto service centres / B2B.
Can not be fitted to cars intended for the Russian market.
