Tow bar Octavia IV RS

The tow bar is another of the practical extras from the Škoda Genuine Accessories range that increase the utility of the vehicle. 
Manufactured from high quality materials, it has undergone rigorous testing for strength and resistance to corrosion, as well as load tests. 
The tow bar complies with homologation E8 55R-01 55880 and all Czech and international regulations.
Thanks to the simple, automatic mechanism for fitting and removing the ball hitch, no tools are needed – meaning that it is much simpler to meet the legal requirements for removing the ball hitch when the trailer is uncoupled.
When you are driving abroad, the country-specific legal regulations must be followed at all times if you have not attached a trailer to the tow bar fitted to your car. 
Retrofitting the tow bar places increased demands on the car’s cooling system. 
That‘s why it‘s necessary to have certain parts of the cooling system replaced by the Škoda Auto / B2B Service centre, using the information provided by the Škoda service technician.
