Front towing eye

WARNING

• Make sure that the towing eye at the

front is screwed in tightly.

• The towing eye is only designed for

use when the car is being towed on the

road. It must not be used to pull the

car out of a ditch, for example.

• Make sure that all bystanders keep a

suitable distance, in case the towing

eye or tow rope should break. The

towing eye or tow rope could catapult

off and cause serious injury.

NOTICE

Do not drive the car with the front towing eye in position. If it catches the curb, for example, the engine sub- frame could be damaged.

Refit the plastic plug in the hole when the towing eye has been removed, to keep dirt and moisture out of the threads.

The front towing eye is stored with the spare wheel.

The attachment point (tapped hole) for the towing eye is midway along the engine sub- frame at the front of the car.

Remove the plastic plug and screw in the towing eye securely.

To ensure that the towing eye is in far enough, insert the handle of the wheel wrench through the eye for additional leverage.

Rear towing eye

The car has a permanently mounted towing eye at the back. If the car is equipped with a trailer hitch, this can be used instead of the towing eye.
