Troubleshooting
Blue lights not working
Check if there is a battery compartment and ensure batteries are correctly inserted and charged. If batteries are not user-replaceable, contact customer support.
Trailer coupling is stiff
Gently try to move the coupling back and forth a few times. Avoid excessive force, as it is a delicate part.

Use a soft brush or a dry microfiber cloth to gently remove dust. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
