    IMPORTANT

    On vehicles with Parktronic system (PTS ) code 220 the following steps must be carried out on the trailer hitch wiring harness before routing the trailer hitch wiring harness outside the vehicle: 

    1. ORIS wiring harness: 1.5 meters (0.75 mm2 ) Adapt the brown/white line (9) to the looped brown/white cable branch- off line using a voltage distributor (br/ws).

      IMPORTANT On vehicles without Parktronic system the looped brown/white cable branch-off line (br/ws) is tie back at the battery and fixed in position on the vehicle's own wiring harness.
