What to consider before using towbars and parking sensors

Rameder´s tips for the perfect coexistence
Retrofitting a towbar opens up entirely new possibilities for drivers. For example, the transport of heavy e-bikes is no longer a problem thanks to a bicycle carrier specially designed for the towbar. But what about parking sensors, when the ball head is detected as an obstacle? Rameder, the European market leader with its online shop www.rameder.eu, has the answer to this question.

Both parking sensors and towbars are favourite features in the automotive sector, offering users real added value in their everyday life. But how the two can get along with each other? Rameder experts are often asked how a towbar can impact on the function of a parking aid. This is because, while the sensors are switched off when using a towbar, the owners of the vehicles would still like to be able to use the acoustic warning when driving without a trailer. Jens Waldmann, Marketing Manager at Rameder, knows: "In some vehicles, a mounted towbar negatively affects the parking sensors, these are no longer functioning properly and sometimes beep constantly. That's why we usually recommend drivers to use a detachable towbar." This way, the ball head can be easily removed outside the periods of use, enabling the regular functionality of the parking sensors.

As a leader in towbars, the Rameder range includes a variety of rigid and detachable models for most current but also older vehicles. After entering the manufacturer and the model, the matching products are displayed immediately.

If you have any questions about towbars, of course, Rameder customer service is also available. The experts advise before, during and after the purchase, on topics related to the products from the online shop www.rameder.eu.
