The flange towbar for “Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van with/without rear step 2006-2018” is made specifically for your vehicle and does not affect your car's warranty. It comes with the mounting hardware and a technical diagram for fitting, in line with the car maker's instructions.
This is a flange towbar: the tow ball is held by 2 bolts and comes off when you undo them. The advantages of this type are that the tow ball height can be adjusted and that the tow ball can be replaced as a spare part when worn. These features make flange towbars mainly suited to vans and SUVs used for farm work, vehicle transport, machinery transport and similar jobs.
For the lights to work properly both on the car and on whatever you are towing, a vehicle-specific towbar wiring kit with a CAN-bus module must be fitted. You will find it under “Optional accessories”.
Product quality is built into the manufacturing process, whose strengths include electrostatic powder coating and a production line automated with industrial robots. Umbra Rimorchi products come with a manufacturer's guarantee of 5 years.
After the first 1,000 km, the bolts must be checked and retightened as set out in the technical specifications supplied with the product. We also recommend measuring the tow ball diameter regularly to make sure it has not worn below 49 mm.
General notes:
1. Maximum towing capacity and nose weight depend on the vehicle's gross weight and engine. Please check your vehicle registration certificate.
2. If the tow ball obscures the vehicle's number plate, it must be removed and only fitted when needed.
3. If the tow ball interferes with the parking sensors, it must be removed and only fitted when needed.
