Towing eye
Use the towing eye for towing a vehicle. The towing eye is screwed into a threaded socket behind a cover on the right-hand side of the bumper, front or rear.
Attaching the towing eye
- Take out the towing eye that is stored in the foam block under the cargo area floor.
The cover for the towing eye's attachment point is opened as follows:
- The cover has a marking along one side or in a corner: Press the marking with a finger and fold out the opposite side/corner at the same time - the cover turns around its axis and can then be removed.
- Screw the towing eye right in up to its flange. Turn in the towing eye firmly e.g. using the wheel wrench*.
The towing eye is only designed for towing on roads - not for pulling the car unstuck or out of a ditch. Call a recovery service for recovery assistance.Important
Removal
- Unscrew and remove the towing eye after use. Place the towing eye back in its position in the foam block.
- Refit the cover on the bumper.
