Tow bar query
Hi all, can anyone help. I have detachable tow bar but when purchased it came with a plastic black sheath over the part that engages with the car. Does anyone know whether this can just be broken off or if sone special tool is required ?

Cheers

Here is the UK instruction page from the iGuide. It’s in 2 sections because it’s a long page in the iguide. It seems that you have to unlock the piece you describe before removing it to fit into the receiver. Your dealer should be able to show you how to set it up.

That also confused me. It is a bit of effort once the key is in to hold the tower and turn the green part until the locking balls retract far enough for the piece you refer to to move allowing the tow bar to engage - so follow the instructions sent to you by the other posters. Don't cut the plastic bit off.
