Towing eye
Use the towing eye if the car needs to be
towed on the road. The towing eye is
attached in the recess on the right-hand side
of the front or rear bumper.
Fitting the towing eye
– Take out the towing eye which is located
in the bag in the ski hatch or together with
the spare wheel.
– Release the cover (1) on the bumper by
pressing on the marking on the lower edge
of the cover.
– Screw in the towing eye (3) firmly, right in
up to the flange. Use the wheel wrench to
tighten the towing eye.
– After use, unscrew the towing eye and
return it in the cargo area. Refit the cover
on the bumper.

IMPORTANT
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 as-
sistance.
NOTE
On certain cars with fitted towbar the tow-
ing eye cannot be secured in the rear
mounting. In which case, secure the tow
rope in the towbar.
For this reason it is advisable to store the
towbar’s towball in the car, see page 148.
