Attaching and removing the towing eyelet
Use the towing eyelet when towing. Screw the towing eyelet securely into place in the threaded outlet behind the cover on the right-hand side of the front and rear bumpers.
Note
Attaching the towing eyelet
Take out the towing eyelet, which is stored in a foam block under the floor in the cargo compartment.
Front: Remove the cover by pressing on the mark with a finger.
Rear: Remove the cover - press the marker with your finger while prying open the opposite side/corner open with a coin or similar.
Screw in the towing eyelet until it reaches its stop. Fasten the eyelet securing by, for example, inserting a lug wrench* through it and using this as a lever.
Important
After use, unscrew the towing eyelet and return it to its storage location.
Replace the cover on the bumper.
In certain conditions, the towing eyelet may be used to pull the vehicle onto a flatbed tow truck. The vehicle's position and ground clearance determines if this is possible.
If the incline of the tow truck is too steep or if the ground clearance under the vehicle is insufficient, attempting to pull it up using the towing eyelet may result in damage.
If necessary, lift the vehicle using the tow truck's lifting device instead of using the towing eyelet.
