For electrical connection, a 7 or 13 pole 12VDC coupling must be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN standards).
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle and/or the tow hitch.
Use the specific trailer light fuse box for electrical connections.
An electric brake should be supplied directly by the battery through a cable with a cross section of no less than 2.5 mm2.
In addition to the electrical connection, only the lead for powering an electric brake and the lead to power a light inside the trailer not exceeding 15W may be connected to the vehicle’s electrical system.
For connections use the preset control unit with battery cable no less than 2,5 mm2.
