Towbar Technician Advanced 1 day with diagnostics

With new technology constantly being added into motor vehicle management systems, nearly all vehicle manufacturers are now demanding that any accessory being fitted into their vehicle has to become a direct extension of the whole vehicle management system.

This creates a problem for towbar fitting as the fitter may be open to litigation if ‘on board’ vehicle safety systems are not activated. To reduce this liability towbar installers must be equipped to understand and work with these new vehicle systems so safety features such as vehicle and trailer Electronic Stability Programs react and operate as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
