Fitting and removing the towing eye
Use the towing eye if the car shall tow another vehicle. The towing eye is screwed into a threaded socket behind a cover on the right-hand side of the rear bumper.
Note
If the car is equipped with a towbar, there is no rear mounting for a towing eye.
Fitting the towing eye
Take out the towing eye from the foam block under the floor in the cargo area.
Remove the cover - press on the marking with a finger and, at the same time, fold out the opposite side/corner using a coin or similar.
The cover pivots around its centre line and can then be removed.
Screw the towing eye right in until it stops.
Screw the eye in firmly. For example, thread through the wheel bolt wrench* and use it as a lever.
Important
It is important that the towing eye is firmly screwed into place - right in until it stops.
Removing the towing eye
Unscrew and remove the towing eye after use and return it to its place in the foam block.
Finish by refitting the cover onto the bumper.
