Having vehicle towed
Tow fitting
The screw-in tow fitting is stored
beneath the cargo floor cover. Carry it
with you at all times. It can be screwed
in at the front or rear of the vehicle.
Access to tow sockets
Front:
Use a screwdriver to press the right or
left cover out, refer to arrows.

Rear:
Pull the cover off.
Only use the tow fitting that
comes with the vehicle and screw
it in as far as it will go. Only use the tow
fitting to tow on the roadway. Follow
these instructions; otherwise the tow
fitting can come loose and lead to dam-
age to the vehicle.
Never attempt to tow or tie down the
vehicle using suspension components,
as this could lead to damage that might
ultimately result in an accident.<
