Permanent connection integrated, pin 9. General operating authorization (ABE) and ECE - product certification (Homologation). Tow bars already approved according to regulation ECE 55 or previously 94/20/E have already been tested according to European standards.

They comply with CE directives, are tested and approved for the French market. It is not necessary to have the tow bar approved by an expert or inspector after installation or to register it in the vehicle papers. Connection to the trailer socket.

The socket allows connection to the trailer plug and ensures the electrical connection between the car and the trailer. What does 7 pins mean? A simple connection that is sufficient to meet legal requirements. Like all 7-pin harnesses, special functions such as permanent power or reverse lights (on the trailer) are not possible. What does 13 pins mean? This is a waterproof connector with simple handling. In the meantime, this variant has become the standard for original equipment. Signaling functions and permanent power or reverse lights can be transmitted without any problem.

Additional free pins are also available and offer useful options, especially in the camping field. What is an original connector? Connections between the vehicle and the electrical kit are made using existing connectors, which eliminates any wiring errors. What is a vehicle diagnostic? Modern electrical kits are equipped with trailer control modules capable of exchanging data with the vehicle's control units.

Some functions, such as deactivating parking sensors, trailer stabilization, and deactivating rear fog lights, only work when both controllers have learned to communicate with each other. It is therefore necessary to perform corresponding coding on the vehicle using a diagnostic tester. The current driving situation of the car is monitored by sensors installed on the vehicle. Once the trailer plug is connected, the vehicle recognizes the "trailer" operating mode and monitors all dynamic movements of the vehicle. If the trailer finds itself in a critical state, the vehicle's onboard computer helps the driver regain control of the situation.

Info: - TSP, Trailer-Stability-Program - TSM, Trailer-Sway-Mitigation - TSA, Trailer-Stability-Assist Technical note: Trailer stabilization only works if an electrical kit assists it. For this, the electrical kit must be registered in the vehicle's data bus system through activation. Vehicles that do not have TSP as standard cannot be equipped with this function using a TSP-compatible electrical kit.

What is a universal harness? A universal electrical kit is suitable for various brands and types of vehicles but is not adapted to any particular model.

Characteristic properties: - The connection is made to the power supply wires. The functions of each wire must be identified.

The wiring may need to be shortened or lengthened if necessary. The installation instructions do not refer to vehicle-specific characteristics. Tip: If possible, always buy a vehicle-specific electrical kit, as installation errors are virtually excluded. What is a specific harness? A specific electrical harness has been developed especially for a particular vehicle.

Before marketing a specific electrical kit, a mounting test is carried out on the relevant vehicle to ensure its proper functioning. Typical properties: - pre-designed connectors - cable lengths exactly matched - installation instructions describe in text or pictograms all the necessary work steps for correct installation. Info: There are vehicle-specific electrical kits that are also suitable for several vehicle models, as it often happens that vehicles are built on the same platform, regardless of the manufacturer!

Advice: Specific electrical kits save installation time and therefore money. What does pre-assembled plug mean?

One end of the wiring harness is already connected to the plug. This facilitates installation and saves valuable installation time. What is a plug with screw terminals? The plug insert has connection points for fixing the wires, which establish contact via a screw terminal.

What is a plug with crimp terminals? In the case of a crimp plug, the wires are already installed in the contact holder.

This results in a gas-tight compression of the cable with the contact plug, ensuring optimal contact connection. What is the deactivation of rear fog lights? When the fog light system is deactivated, the rear fog lights of the towing vehicle are turned off. It does not matter whether the trailer has its own fog light system.

Note: When using a rear bike rack with its own lighting units, it is mandatory for the rear fog light of the car to be deactivated (in Germany). The CAN data bus technique (also called Controller-Area-Network) is the technical term for a special type of data transmission in a vehicle. It manages the electronic network of a modern automobile and connects the majority of control devices.

Info: A modern car contains up to 70 control units to exchange data with each other, which then enable the most suitable functions. It is a bulb failure check that indicates to the driver, on the dashboard, with a visual symbol, defective lighting such as turn signals, brake lights, etc. What is a flasher unit or flasher relay? Flasher units are also called flasher relays and serve to transmit the flashing impulse to the vehicle's turn signals or, if applicable, the trailer's.

In case of malfunction, the flashing frequency changes. What is a trailer control unit?

The trailer control unit partially or completely regulates the lighting of the trailer. The impulse usually comes from the vehicle's rear lights, which the control device transmits to the trailer. Trailer detection serves to indicate to the towing vehicle whether a trailer or bike rack is hitched.

This is often done using a micro-switch integrated into the power socket. What is a C2 indicator? The C2 indicator is an additional green indicator light. It must be placed on the dashboard, in the driver's field of vision. Info: On some vehicle types, a C2 indicator is already equipped to be controlled by the flasher unit.

Practical: In trailer mode, the C2 indicator flashes simultaneously with the standard turn signal indicator. Even without a trailer, it can flash up to three times, but then it must turn off!

What is a wiring diagram? In the wiring diagram of a 7 or 13-pin socket, it defines which cable occupies which contact of the socket. Cable identification is done by colors. The contacts of the socket are identified by numbers and letters. A micro-switch is a small electrical switch that is integrated into the socket of the electrical kit.

It can be used for various functions such as: deactivation of the EPH, trailer detection, etc. What is a central connector? Some vehicles are already prepared to receive a "factory electrical kit.

" In such cases, there is one or more central connectors ready to serve as a connection point for the trailer wiring harness. What is a permanent power supply? The additional permanent power supply is a continuous voltage of 12 volts that provides a constant current to contact "number 9" and is only possible for 13-pin trailer plugs according to 11446 DIN/ISO. What is a charging cable? A battery in the trailer can be charged with a charging cable while driving. This operates via contact "number 10," a 13-pin plug according to DIN/ISO 11446.

As soon as the ignition is turned off, the power supply is interrupted by a cutoff relay. More offers for this type of tow bar.
