• Can I install an ORIS ACPS towbar or wiring kit myself?

  ORIS ACPS strongly recommends that installation be carried out by a professional workshop or suitably qualified installer. Improper assembly can lead to safety hazards and may void warranty claims.

• Do I need to disconnect my vehicle battery before installing the wiring kit?

  Yes, to avoid malfunctions and damage to the vehicle's electrical system, the earth terminal must usually be disconnected from the vehicle's battery before starting work on the electrical connections.

• Where can I find the maximum towing capacity for my ORIS product?

  Always refer to the instructions of the vehicle manufacturer and the specific manual provided with your ORIS towbar. You must not exceed the relevant specifications for your vehicle or the towbar's vertical ball loading limits.

• What should I do if my trailer lights are not working after installation?

  Check all connections and ensure proper grounding. If the vehicle has a CAN bus system, ensure the module is functioning. Note that some light functions may require the engine to be running or specific initialization steps.
